Ok, I tried it again on Trixie after starting with a fresh copy of
source. Yes, it does compile on Trixie now. Maybe some change from the
weekend was still in my copy. I notice if I try to install to my home
directory it gives an error because it can't write to /usr/share:
/usr/bin/install -c brlapi.jar /usr/share/java
I'm not sure if you support installing in the home directory or if this
is a bug.
./configure --prefix=/home/cstrobel/brltty
When I did make install, I got this
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/cstrobel/git/brltty/Bindings/Emacs'
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/cstrobel/git/brltty/Bindings/Java'
/usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/share/java
/usr/bin/install -c brlapi.jar /usr/share/java
install: cannot create regular file '/usr/share/java/brlapi.jar':
Permission denied
make[2]: *** [Makefile:115: install-jar-yes] Error 1

Thanks.

Well Trixie still has Lua 5.4.7 and I still get the Make error about missing
seperator.
That's even with the latest brltty development code? I really do think that
that should've corrected it. I tested it with your package.cpath string.
On Debian Testing with Lua 5.4.8 I get beyond the Make error.
The compile completes, now I have to figure out how to test Brltty from my
home directory.
Just do the make, i.e. don't do the make install. Then use the run-brltty
script in brltty's top-level directory. It takes the very same options as
brltty itself but runs brltty out of the build tree. It's that simple.
Probably your code requires 5.4.8.
That'd surprise me, actually.
If the latest brltty development code still doesn't work on Trixie then please
share the make file from your Bindings/Lua directory.
