Looking in the config.ep file created at configure time I seem to be getting an error "error: 'LibCecInit' was not declared in this scope". I guess that means that the Pulse Eight version of libcec does not have a required function?

That looks like some extremely dodgy code. Without delving into it, why would 
you cast LibCecInit to a long when the function returns int? And, from the 
context, I would guess that LibCecInit is supposed to be a function, which means 
the brackets are missing from the call...

As I said, I haven't looked at the context so I'm prepared to be enlightened.
