Alex,
You were right. I contacted the local Humanware representative. He told
me that the Braille Note MPower could not be used with the macbook via
cable, even with an adapter, but that it could communicate with any
Apple product through Bluetooth. I will even be able to operate the
computer from the Braille Note keyboard. I don't see any indication that
Bluetooth is turned on in the Macbook, but I told my tech to install
everything on the disk and activate all services. Is there a way I can
check for Bluetooth through ssh/ I will need to know the address it is
using so I can set my Braille Note accordingly.
libllouis installed without a hitch. So did pkg-config, once I found the
right version (0.22). The make step did generate a huge number of
warning messages, but it is working fine. liblouisutdml is to the point
where it needs jni.h and jni_md.h I don't know how to find things on the
Darwin distro yet. It doesn't have the updatedb and locate commands that
I use on other distros. All the usual java commands work. Can you tell
me where jni.h and jni_md.h are located?
Once liblouisutdml is compiled I will be able to use the file2brl
program to make braille documents from the command line, and I will also
be able to implement the Open, Translate and Saveas items in
BrailleBlaster.
Thanks,
John
