Hello,
I've been working on a MythTV on Mythbuntu project for a little while now and
I've come to the step of setting up a serial ir blaster. My motherboard did not
come with a serial port so I purchased an Iocrest PCI-Express Multi I/O
Controller serial card. I see the card when typing in "lspci" in a CLI.
However, I've determined the card needs a driver, because when I put the
command to find my ir blaster, "dmesg | grep tty" it oly comes up with "[
0.000000] console [tty0] enabled". When i plug the ir blaster into an older
lubuntu computer I have I get "[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled
[ 1.029792] 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a
16550A". So it seems to find the blaster on the older computer, probably
because the serial port is built into the motherboard. So, I found and
downloaded the linux driver for the card that needs to be compiled. I've
extracted the zip file the driver is in, navigate to the directory where the
makefile is and then enter the command "make". I then get these errors:
"hometheater@Hometheater:~/Downloads/Serial

Here is the makefile as well:

rm -f /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/Smcs99xx

rm -rf .tmp_version*"
Can anyone help me successfully compile this driver?
Thanks!
