Hi

I have just installed KnoppMyth to act as a frontend only (my backend is running on a separate box under Mandrake 9.1).

I have a Packard Bell remote control and am trying to compile lirc for serial operation.

The following is the output of make:

root@hoyts:/usr/src/lirc-0.7.0pre4 # make

Any ideas what I need to do to fix the problem?

Untar the kernel source and link linux to it.

I untared the kernel source and linied it to linux

I get the following error:

any suggestions

ok I finally got lirc to compile for my Winfast 200 but when I run update-modules I get the following error.

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.25-chw/misc/lirc_gpio.o

then I rebooted and ran install-i686-l and received the following errors.

The remote still doesn't work

This all worked for R4V2. I am fustrated, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike G.

Then why upgrade? As root:

I think I am getting further thats for the help so far.

I can't open /dev/lirc

Any ideas why?

Thanks,
Mike G.

BTW, I am upgrating for the no APIC support.

ls -l /dev/lirc shows what?

Also a question about the default remote configured with knoppMyth, can you confirm that the default remote is the pvr-250?

Also if I were to buy a pvr-350 would that remote be compatible with the default pvr-250 remote configured with KnoppMyth?

Thanks,
Mike G.

mike,

i think you need to start over by telling us what it is you are trying to do. not the solutions you have tried, not the steps you are currently taking, but what feature you want. then i think we can help you get there. right now you (and we) are just getting frustrated. in the top post you talk about a packard bell serial remote, and then in the post above you talk about PVR-x50 remotes.

jim

The default LIRC is compiled for Hauppuage TV tuners. The default lircd.conf and lircrc are for the Hauppauge grey remote. This works the same on a WinTV 402 or PVR x50. Opps I meant ls -l /dev/lirc*. It should look something like this:

crw-r--r-- 1 root root 61, 0 Oct 20 2003 /dev/lirc
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 May 9 23:29 /dev/lircd
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 10 16:49 /dev/lircm

I thought I would post how I got lircd_serial to load. Took some trial and error, so hopefully this will save some people some trouble.

cd /usr/src
tar jxf lirc-0.7.0pre4.tar.bz2
tar jxf linux-2.4.25-chw.tar.bz2
yes | cp -r kernel-headers-2.4.25-chw/* linux-2.4.25-chw/
cp /boot/config-2.4.25-chw linux-2.4.25-chw/.config
rm linux
ln -s linux-2.4.25-chw linux
cd lirc-0.7.0pre4
./configure
make
make install

If you don't copy the files into your kernel tree (linux-2.4.25-chw) above, then you will either get compile errors, and/or errors when your module tries to load (and it won't).

After this you still need todo through the standard install procedure, but you can read about that here:
