LIRC with transmitter support for openSuSE 11

English Hardware
#1

Hello,

since the lirc_serial module that comes with openSuSE 11 has no transmitter support, i tried to build lirc 0.8.3. When i run configure, i get the following error messages:

checking for Linux kernel sources… /tmp/LIRCMF.im5CW2:27: warning: overriding

./configure: line 22974: test: too many arguments
/lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-default/build/

The Makefile is built but is unusable because it contains this:

kernelcc =
ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
Run ‘make oldconfig && make prepare’ on kernel src to fix it.
kerneldir = /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-default/build/

I did run “make cloneconfig” and “make oldconfig” and “make prepare”.

Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am facing the exact same problem. Any resolution to this issue yet? Without this I am unable to use lirc to transmit

#3

For the love of God, PLEASE - someone help us with this! Why won’t lirc compile??? How can I compile lirc to transmit so I can finally use opensuse as my mythtv box?

Umm… what’s the error you’re getting? (Apologies if you’ve already posted
that, this post is alone and unsupported… “Thread moved” again I imagine)

Please post the error you’re seeing.

I also am getting this error trying to compile lirc 0.83 on Suse 11.

It points at a bad Makefile:
Makefile:187: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?). Stop.

kernelcc =
ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
Run ‘make oldconfig && make prepare’ on kernel src to fix it.
kerneldir = /lib/modules/2.6.25.11-0.1-default/build/

cd /usr/src/linux

make oldconfig && make prepare

make prepare scripts

compile lirc, hombre!
