No idea why I didn’t subscribe to the mailing list long ago to keep up on the news and talk.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I recently moved my work computer from RHEL 5 to Centos 7. Forgive me if this line of questioning has already been covered; I checked the archives and didn’t see anything to help me.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>While the version of brltty that Centos provides works, it lacks a couple things. First, I can’t, for anything, get any sound out of it for alert tunes. After looking at its dependencies, I noticed it didn’t have alsa libs listed. Could it be that the Centos-distributed version (brltty-4.5-13.el7) doesn’t have any sound support other than the beeper device?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So, I tried the brltty-5.4 RPM available for download from brltty.com. I really wanted to move to Brltty V5, anyway. I run it at home on a Gentoo system, and I like a number of the changes including the new button mappings for my PowerBraille 80. Sadly, it’s looking for, among other things, libicu 4.9. Centos 7 comes with 5.0. Sigh.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Next stop, the source RPM. Try to build my own. I attempt to add the many dependencies required to build the RPM: 23 that I didn’t yet have. However, one can’t be met: gcc-java. It’s not available in RHEL and Centos 7 that I can see.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Can anyone point me to a binary RPM of Brltty for Centos 7 that has ALSA support for PCM alert tunes? Or perhaps the Centos one does and I’m just not configuring something right? I tried many times this week to make it work. Alternatively, can anyone make suggestions for building the srpm? What changes might I need to make to the configure command-line to not need gcc-java, and would might I lose if I left that out? Would that hurt any of the Gnome/Orca brlapi integration?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My audio never worked right on RHEL 5, so this was never a big deal. But the audio is definitely working for other applications on Centos 7, and I’d like to have the same luxuries that I have with my Gentoo box at home.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Keith<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
