Hi
Can anybody help me, i've a (several) problem(s) during the compilation
of Lirc0.7.4 on
Kernel 2.6.3 (Mandrake 10.) on an embedded VIA Board
~/lirc-07.0pre4/drivers/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.c:87 error:parse error before
"devfs_handle_t"
~/lirc-07.0pre4/drivers/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.c:102 dereferencing pointer to
incomplete type
the code of lirc_dev.c looks ok to me
Does anybody know whether LIRC is supported for Kernel 2.6.x since I had
some problems regarding
the kernel sources as well ?
thanks
Robert

Re: LIRC compile problems Kernel 2.6.3

LIRC distributions are a mess. There hasn't been a release in over a
year(!). The current kernel is just beginning to to be supported.
http://www.lirc.org/faq.html
The real information is buried in the mailing list archive.
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=lirc-list
(I use LIRC under 2.6. I'm still trying to figure out how to use two
devices at once.)

Hi Robert,

Just grab the kernel patches from:
http://flameeyes.web.ctonet.it/downloads.html
And build the module inside the kernel tree. It's a lot easier than trying to
build
2.6 modules stand-alone.
Regards,
