The latest on revu builds for me too.. As a user of lirc with MythTV I have to ask, am I missing something or is using lirc on Ubuntu RIDICULOUSLY difficult? As far as I can see, you must jump through the following hoops, and this applies to the latest lirc on revu:
(after building if using latest) -Install the following debs: lirc, liblircclient0, lirc-modules-source -Install kernel sources -Determine only by digging through lirc-modules-source's installed files list in Synaptic that there is some documentation in /usr/share/doc/lirc-modules-source on what to do now -Follow the instructions in /usr/src/modules/lirc/README to actually build modules and get a working lirc setup. Have you read this file? Why even bother with the deb package route in the first place? Someone please tell me how stupid I am for thinking this is what has to be done at present, because I really want to be wrong. This isn't even slightly easy or maintainable when kernel updates come down the line as far as I can see. At the moment I'm just modifying debian/rules for --with-driver=serial and building that way, which means once the debs are installed I'm set. -- UVF exception: lirc 0.7.1pre2 -> 0.8.0 https://launchpad.net/bugs/35456 -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
