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

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.

The real information is buried in the mailing list archive.

(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,

Hi Damion

Thanks for the "Kernel Patch Trick" it finally worked.
I had to modify the lirc_serial.c as described in
http://unusedino.de/lirc/lirc_static.html as well

kind regards

Robert
