I don't know anything about the instructions on the wiki, but the last
line quoted above is your problem. It looks like you are using the
debian way to compile the lirc package. This will, by default,
overwrite any patches you have made to the source. You can edit
/usr/src/modules/lirc/drivers/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.c manually and replace
the line that looks like:
#include <include/config.h>
and replace it with:
#include <include/autoconf.h>
and it will compile assuming you just use 'make'.
You will need to replace similar lines in other files. The files you
need to edit will depend on the lirc modules you are trying to compile.
I use ubuntu and it has a similar 'problem'. On ubuntu I can simply
move /usr/src/lirc-0.8.1.tar.gz to a new file name and it will skip over
the part of the build that unpacks the pristine, unpatched source and
will leave any manually placed patches in place.
