Re: Orca Using 's braille support with brltty 3.8-dev

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Hermann:

The BrlAPI in BrlTTY 3.8-dev underwent several incompatible changes, and 
we did the best we could to keep up with them.  Orca v2.17.91 from this 
week should hopefully work with the latest BrlTTY -- I made the changes 
to Orca Sunday morning and tested them before doing the release.

If things aren't working, I'm guessing the things you might look for are:

1) Are you sure you're running the latest brltty?  If you went with a 
simple autogen when building brltty, you might have two copies on your 
machine:  one under /usr/bin/brltty and one under /bin/brltty.  If so, 
the one under /bin/brltty is the one you want.

2) Did you have Pyrex installed when you built brltty?  If not, then the 
Python bindings for brltty were not built and Orca is going to assume 
you have the old version of brltty.

This is unfortunately life on the edge.  Once this stuff settles down, 
the distributions will get everything right.

Hope this helps,

Will
