[mythtv-users] How to get channel changer from dct-channel? Make fails.

I have a DCT-2524 I want to control via the serial port (IR blaster
interference) and it was suggested that dct-channel was a possibility
since I found the dct2000serial alternative didn't work with the unit
I have from Comcast.

Unfortunately, the copy contained in
/usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib/channel_changers/dct-channel
provided with MythBuntu 10.04 needs to be "made", as it is not already
built and apparently either the Makefile is missing something or there
should have been a README.install to tell how to make it.

I tried just running:
    # make
and got:
    make: *** No rule to make target `channel.c', needed by `channel.1'.  Stop.

I also tried:
    # make install
and got:
    make: *** No rule to make target `channel.c', needed by `channel.1'.  Stop.
(the same message.)

FWIW, the directory contents are:
   # ls -Al

Now what?
