Could you please still verify, though, if the latest development code has resolved the xsel.h not found issue? That'd require building without --disable-x.

Do you know if OSX does support X?

Yes, I will.

When it comes to OSX, please don't assume that I know anything. :-)

Does that switch to zsh impact building and/or using brltty? If so, how?

Good.

>but There is no communication with the shell: (nothing displayed).

When using brltty-term?

>So my question is this  because I disabled bbrltty api?

As Sébastien has observed, we'd sure like BrlAPI to work on OSX.

brltty-term doesn't require BrlAPI, though. What it requires is that the em (Terminal Emulator) screen driver is built. What does the SCREEN_DRIVER_CODES line in your config.mk say?
