What makes mythtv find lirc?

I have Mandriva 2007 with a PVR-350 using the supplied IR receiver and
remote. I have the lirc modules loaded and lircd daemon running.

[root [at] mytht mythtv-0.20]# lsmod |grep lirc
lirc_i2c 9572 2
lirc_dev 13124 1 lirc_i2c
i2c_core 17536 13
lirc_i2c,cx88xx,saa7108e,rivatv,bttv,msp3400,saa7127,saa7115,tda9887,tuner,ivtv,i2c_algo_bit,tveeprom

[root [at] mytht mythtv-0.20]# ps -ef|grep lirc
root 10398 1 0 12:51 ? 00:00:00 [lirc_dev]
root 10414 1 0 12:52 ? 00:00:00 lircd --device=/dev/lirc/0
root 10428 1 0 12:52 ? 00:00:00 lircmd

[root [at] mytht mythtv-0.20]# ls -ld /dev/lirc*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Jan 14 12:51 /dev/lirc/
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Jan 14 12:52 /dev/lircd=
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 14 12:43 /dev/lircm|

However when I run ./configure for Myth it says it will not build lirc
support.

[root [at] mytht mythtv-0.20]# ./configure | grep lirc
lirc support no

What is it looking for that I need to setup?

Thanks
Malcolm

It is looking for liblirc_client and lirc/lirc_client.h (all in
mythtv/configure).

I had the same issue on FC6 and I had almost given up, then I grabbed
the latest cvs of lirc, compiled & installed it, and it worked.

you can get it from here.

Thanks. I found there was a liblirc0-devel-0.8.1-0.20060722.4mdv2007.0
package that was not installing from the easyurpmi site. It kept saying it
was built against an older version of lirc and when I answered Y to install
anyway it would not. I was typing this
# urpmi liblirc0-devel-0.8.1-0.20060722.4mdv2007.0
I then tried this
# urpmi liblirc0-devel-0.8.1-0.20060722.4mdv2007.0 liblirc-devel
and it worked.

Thanks
Malcolm

Re: What makes mythtv find lirc? [In reply to]

Malcolm,

Is your distro 64 bit?
Did you urpmi lirc and lirc-remotes as well?
What additional edits to config files were required after your rpm installs?

Please let me know. This is the problem I'm having.

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/270033?#270033

I am hoping that this gets applied to the orginal thread from Malcolm, but
I am attached the last reply and the link to the thread just in case it
does not.
