cyb0rg777 · 08-11-2005, 10:44 PM

i am trying to put lirc on vectorlinux so far i made it past ./configure but make gives me these errors the first error is

line 1:scripts/basic/fixdep:no such file or directory

does anyone know what this means ?

i am using vector 4.3 with a 2.6.7 kernel running as root

Vector is Slackware based, so you can pull packages from www.slackware.com and www.linuxpackages.net.

I tried a package from www.linuxpackages.net but I couldn't get it to work. Is there a module i need to load for lirc?

This is my electronics lab computer i have noppp, xoscope and i need lirc to do infrared work. The hard drive is only 1.2gb and vector works good. Should I try another distro?
If so which one.

Thanks

OK i got my modules and everything compiled .I found a package on my slackware 10 cds for kernel source 2.6.7 ,which is the same kernel as vector .Now I need to load some modules i think .I tried modprobe lirc_serial but i get "invalid module format". What do I do now

OK I'm figurin it out.I got mode2 to work with these commands:

setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none

modprobe -f lirc_serial

My next question is how do i get these to run at boot time?

For the modprobe one, maybe try add the following line to your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file:

/sbin/modprobe -f lirc_serial

OK I added both commands to my rc.modules ,seems to work .Thanks for the help.I am trying to add a sony webtv keyboard to my LIRC .It will be very cool when i am done.

Vector linux is great ,It is very fast for the hardware i am using it on
a 200mhz with 98mb ram and 1.2gb hard drive.

Hello ,It's me again
Anyone know anything about a .lircrc file? I can't get my Caps_Lock or shift keys to work

cyb0rg777 · 08-25-2005, 12:20 PM

I found some examples in the remotes directory , but nothing I can use.There is also a file in the documentation directory showing different key codes ,but again not what I needed.

Oh yeah ,did you know if you point a digital camera at a remote control you can see the led light up,cool huh.
well if anyone has any idea how to make my caps lock and shift keys work in my .lircrc file please help.
