[quoted lines by Andy Jack on 2010/10/26 at 22:14 +0100] >I downloaded and built brltty 4.2 with --with-braille-driver=bn and >--with-braille-device=ttyUSB0
It's probably best to not specify any of these configure options as the default is to build all drivers. Then specify what you actually want for system defaults within /etc/brltty.conf. braille-driver bn braille-device serial:ttyUSB0 This way, you can change your specifications without having to rebuild brltty. >(make install didn't seem to update the brltty in /sbin) That'd be because the default is to install brltty in /bin (not /sbin). I guess Ubuntu overrides this default. >and run it with sudo ./brltty in the Programs directory, Note that if you don't specify --with-braille-driver= when configuring (which builds the specified drivers into the brltty executable) then running brltty this way may not work because the correct versions of the drivers may not have been installed yet. The best way to run brltty from within the build tree is to use the run-brltty script in the top-level build directory. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
