Lirc 0.80 compilation issues
Hello Slackers!
I've posted this thread in the Software forum also, but no-one seems to be able to answer me, so I thought that this forum could be more productive ;) Sooooo..... let this short and boring story begin! I have a nice USB RF Remote Receiver and its Controller made by X10. I haven't ever tried to install it nor to make it work with Linux but in the last days I have some spare time thus I'm doing my best to use my box without a keyboard and eventually without a mouse. Now, I read some tutorials and compiled the ati_remote and ati_remote2 into the kernel; after that I ran xev and started randomly pressing buttons on the remote: "bingo! It was showing the keycodes!"! Well, now I knew the system was receiving the radio signals sent by the remote control but a new problem came in: how to make it interact with the box? At first I thought I could use Lineakd thing but when I installed it I didn't know how to manage to get it work, the only instructions I found were written in German (ps: anyone from Germany that can translate that page for me? ), then I thought of Lirc and its KDE's implementation called "Lirc Server", that would have allowed me to to almost everything in few and simple steps! But, when I started compiling Lirc-0.80 it gave me an error: Code:
Is there any way to fix this error? I tried also to install a previuos version but it didn't work. Any idea about how to get Lirc working or to get my remote operative under Linux? (I'm using Slackware 10.2, KDE 3.5.2, Kernel-2.6.17.1, a lot of coffee ) |
I found lots of English documentation for lineakd and lineakconfig here:
http://lineak.sourceforge.net/index.php?nav=docs I didn't have any trouble compiling these. There is a newer version of lineakd which can be sued with lineaksetup(java). The older 0.4 version of lineakd can be configured with lineakconfig(GTK-1.2). |
When it comes to configure it for a Multimedia Keyboard, Lineakd is ok, but the issues start when I got to make it interact with my Remote... :(

Erors about incompatible pointer types are sometimes overcome by using an older compiler -or perhaps you have the wrong kernel-headers.
