1. Yes, I'm sure i will add icu support. I have icu itself installed but I
have to look up the macports name for the package I need. Just haven't
gotten around to that yet.
2. Apple does have its own braille support but (a) it doesn't include the
serial displays for which one has to use a usb-serial cable; and (b) even
with braille, working in terminal on the Mac is much easier with brltty.

This evening i got to going through the errors in the compile of
brltty and realized that the first one had to do with midi support.
So I disabled midi support and tried again. This time I could see
that i needed to disable icu (I know there's something to install
for that and i'm pretty sure I found it before) so for now I
disabled icu. On running "make" again, I realized that I needed to
disable api and after this i successfully installed. I built screen
after running both patches in the Patches directory. I now have a
running installation of the latest subversion edition of brltty.
ICU is the Unicode and internationalization support. It might be worth
installing the ICU library and header files, then compiling BRLTTY again with
it included.
Really, the instructions I wrote out for doing this after Dave first
got it to work on the Mac still pretty much hold.
MacOS is rarely discussed on the list, so I suppose it is seldom tested with
BRLTTY. That's probably because (according to what I have read), it has its
own braille display support.
