Hi there!

For a few days I'm trying now to get my USB-IR (IgorPlug-USB) device up with lirc.

The device should be supported using the module lirc_igorplugusb.ko, but unfortunately I was not able to build it yet.

I've cloned the lirc repository in order to get 0.9.1-git and installed - I hope i did - all packages needed for building it. I have linked the kernel-headers as described in http://xbian.blogspot.de/2012/12/xbian-package-kernel-headers-advanced.html.

Everything seems to be fine until configure.sh exits with "error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'".

As searching this board or google was not really taking me further - has anybody successfully built lirc on his pi and might give me some hint or even provide the compiled module?

Thanks a lot in advance!
Michael

Can you provide me with the compile instruction, then i will look at it.

Hi!

Thanks a lot for your fast reply!

My answer was rejected as spam, so I have sent you some more details as private message - sorry for bothering you this way!

Thanks a lot for your help!

May be there is a chance to change the XBian built for lirc to a configuration done with something like in order to get the other kernel modules beside of lirc_xbox.ko built as well?

Thanks!
Michael

I always did

Ok - one step further!

Installing libtool did the trick! the configuration was done and the module compiled now successfully.

But I'm not able to load the module now, doing fails with
I guess this can be caused by using the 3.2.0-4 headers for the running 3.6.11+...

Thanks!

That's great!

Although is not showing the one I'm searching for...

Thanks a lot!

I just tried the suggested approach of Paul's Raspberry Pi Blog for building modules, but I'm still unable to load the built module exiting with
Has anybody successfully compiled additional modules for 3.6.11+ already and might share his approach?

Thanks a lot for your help!

My cross-compiler is broke somehow so that was probably the reason i didn't succeed. Will try again when i got a working setup again.

I really appreciate your effort and am looking forward to your result!

Thanks a lot!

Here you go:
https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/tree/xbian-beta1/lib/modules/3.6.11%2B/kernel/drivers/staging/media/lirc

Thank you so much for spending your time and making the modules availlable for everybody!

But for me it's getting strange now...

I just downloaded the module from github, but exits with already.

I will re install XBian this evening and try your provided module again - luckily my configurations are manageable and in the end this should fix whatever I did to my pi...

Thanks a lot!
Michael

You need to update the whole kernel. So the whole /lib/modules/3.6.11+ folder and /boot/kernel.img

Just tried it and the module loads without grumbling!

Thanks a lot for all your help!

And i'm glad my cross compiler works again.

Can you share your config with us:
lsusb, dmesg, and cat /proc/bus/input/devices
The remote your using
The output of IRW
Any custom lircd.conf or hardware.conf

Sure! But I have not finished my configuration yet. So far I have the IR receiver working and the Apple Remote (A1156) gets recognized. I have downloaded the matching config from http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/ and created some Lircmap.xml - but these steps are actually untested.

I hope I'll find the time to press some buttons on the remote in front of my pi tonight...

I will send you more details once I'm happy with my setup!

Best regards
Michael
