[gentoo-user] LIRC with kernel 3.2.11

[gentoo-user] LIRC with kernel 3.2.11

[Kraus Philipp]

Hello,

I'm using a Hauppauge WinTV HVR 1900 (usb), with a self-compiled kernel 3.2.11. The USB device works very well, but I would like to use LIRC 0.9.0 with my kernel. So I have set the LIRC_DEVICES="hauppauge" within my make.conf and run emerge.
Emerge fetches this packages:

[ebuild  N     ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.2.11  USE="-build -deblob -symlink" 
[ebuild  N     ] virtual/linux-sources-0 
[ebuild  N     ] app-misc/lirc-0.9.0

On emerging this error is shown:

 /var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.9.0/work/lirc-0.9.0/drivers/lirc_i2c/lirc_i2c.c
/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.9.0/work/lirc-0.9.0/drivers/lirc_i2c/lirc_i2c.c: In function 'ir_probe':

(How) Can I solve this problem?

Thanks

I just found this commit in Linus's git repo:

commit c185a9420bd1c645252249018e6887a968d3e1de
Author: Jean Delvare <khali@>
Date:   Sun Mar 20 14:50:53 2011 +0100

    i2c: Drop i2c_adapter.id
    
    There is no user left of i2c_adapter.id, so we can get rid of it.
    Finally! :)
    
And this comment from last June:

-What:  i2c_adapter.id
-When:  June 2011
-Why:   This field is deprecated. I2C device drivers shouldn't change their
-       behavior based on the underlying I2C adapter.


The lirc code includes several #ifdefs that test for the adapter id, so
the lirc devs *are* changing their driver behavior based on it, obviously.

Looks to me like lirc will need to be modified upstream for recent kernel
code.

I don't know if this will help you in any way. I have a media center
with a Thermaltake LCD, which besides the LCD (which is actually a
VFD) it includes an imon remote control. I used to have LIRC, and
everything was right.

After kernel 2.6.36 (or similar), LIRC stopped working (I use
vanilla-sources). So I upgraded  to the 3.2 kernel, and selected
IR_IMON in Device Drivers -> Multimedia support -> Remote Controller
adapters.

Now the remote works perfectly, *BUT* I don't have LIRC installed
anymore. The remote works as a keyboard, and I didn't had to configure
anything in XBMC.

I don't see any Hauppauge driver in the Remote Controller adapters
menu in the kernel; but maybe it's called differently. If that's the
case, then you will need LIRC no more; you can use your remote as any
other input device.

Regards.

Thanks for this information. In the 3.2.11 sources the Remote Controller option
is named CONFIG_RC_CORE and I have set the options

Compile Remote Controller keymap modules  (CONFIG_RC_MAP)
Enable IR raw decoder for the NEC protocol (CONFIG_IR_NEC_DECODER)
Enable IR raw decoder for the RC-5 protocol (CONFIG_IR_RC5_DECODER)
Enable IR raw decoder for the RC6 protocol (CONFIG_IR_RC6_DECODER)
Enable IR raw decoder for the JVC protocol  (CONFIG_IR_JVC_DECODER)
Enable IR raw decoder for the Sony protocol  (CONFIG_IR_SONY_DECODER)
Enable IR raw decoder for the RC-5 (streamzap) protocol 
(CONFIG_IR_RC5_SZ_DECODER)
Enable IR raw decoder for the MCE keyboard/mouse protocol 
(CONFIG_IR_MCE_KBD_DECODER)
Enable IR to LIRC bridge  (CONFIG_IR_LIRC_CODEC)

for building as modules.

Can you run the emerge build command for lirc and take a look if the build
process crashs at the same source code line, like my sources?

Thanks a lot for your help

I think so, but I have posted the error message on the lirc mailinglist 
with actually no answer
