Description Jarkko Haapalainen 2002-12-16 09:38:37 UTC

System has lirc configured and working, but when emerging MPlayer 0.90rc1-r1 
it doesn't recognize that lirc is installed.

Ok, I do not use lirc.  Any idea how you can detect if lirc is installed, since
there are no USE flag ?

fix auto-detect lirc

Looking at the configure script the autotest for lirc is:

If test -c /dev/lirc; then ...

/dev/lirc may not exist on your system when emerging mplayer, so a check for
the required header file may be an option. I've attached a patch to this
effect.
