It certainly should build for OS X, but sonmetimes changes are made which cause unexpected build problems on platforms other than Linux. >if yes, sysmacros.h does not exist on this platform and, brltty does not build. Thanks for reporting this. I've removed that #include from brlapi_client.c so the latest development code should build again. I'm not sure why it was added to brlapi_client. It needed to be added to Linux-specific code because the makedev macro was moved there, but brlapi_client doesn't use the makedev macro. >Is there something like --disable-brlapi in configure, If you really need it, yes, you can configure with --disable-api. >or even #IF DEFINED DARWIN!!! somewhere? If it were ultimately necessary then, yes, that, too, could be done. A better way would be to test for the needed macro(s) and include sysmacros.h if any of them are missing. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
