<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I realize this is a question for the lirc list --
I've posted there, too. But that list tends to be more technical and less
results-oriented than this one, in my experience, so I thought I would post here
as well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm trying to compile lirc on a fresh install of
Fedora Core 2. I'm using a homebrew serial port IR receiver. I know
that the hardware will work -- this box used to host a working RH9 install of
mythtv, but I decided to start fresh with a larger hard drive since myth was
freezing periodically.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The install (according to the guide at mythtv.org)
goes fine until I get to lirc. When I compile, I get:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>> Makefile:378: /usr/src/linux//Rules.make: No
such file or directory</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/usr/src/linux is a symlink to the appropriate
directory. My kernel is 2.6.5-1.358. From what I've read, other
people experience this problem as well. There seem to be two solutions:
a potentially buggy patch from a guy named FlameEyes on the lirc list
-- he doesn't seem to have a 2.6 patch, though, and I, being not very
sophisticated w/ linux, wouldn't know how to apply it anyway.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The other option seems to be recompiling my kernel,
as the 'make dep' step is supposed to provide the Rules.make file (I may be
wrong about this, though). However, when I run make dep on my current
kernel's source I get "*** Warning: make dep is unnecessary now." I'd just
start with a fresh kernel, tuned for myth, but Axel of ATrpms doesn't maintain
any kernel releases for FC2 (yet). So I'm not sure what version I should
be pursuing, or which will work properly with FC2.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I apologize for my linux idiocy, but any help would
be greatly appreciated.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
