LIRC compile problems Kernel 2.6.3

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.

(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:

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

as well
