[mythtv-users] OT: lirc-0.7.0pre2 installation confusion

[Christopher Pond]

I just did that exact thing this past weekend. Here's what I did:
1) Make sure you installed the kernel sources package. You need it.
2) Build the kernel from /usr/src/linux-2.4 with:  "make oldconfig",
"make dep", "make mrproper", "make" and "make modules". Note -- you do
not need to install the kernel, just make it.
3) Make sure the installed lirc rpm is removed. I did "rpm -e --nodeps
lirc"
4) Go to your lirc directory, and make it, then do a "make install".
5) Copy the lircd.conf.hauppauge config file from remotes/hauppauge to
/etc/lircd.conf
6) start lircd by typing "lircd". Make sure it starts correctly by
looking at the /var/log/lircd file. It should say something like:  Nov
16 15:44:01 aion1000 lircd 0.7.0pre2: lircd(hauppauge) ready
7) start irw like:  ./tools/irw   Then try out pressing buttons on your
remote. It should output button-presses to the console. If not, there is
likely some version conflict between lircd and irw. Make absolutely sure
the version of irw you are using was built with the version of lircd.
8) If all the above works, then make sure you build mythtv with "Native
lirc support" -- which is just a simple change in the settings.pro file.
9) Copy the mythtv configfiles/hauppauge-lircrc-nativelirc file to
~/.mythtv/lircrc
10) startup mythfrontend. The remote should now work fine!
