wanna add a dep in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122774 ?
First obvious question would be: - why doesnt it try to open device file ? no ... why not even the conf file ? hmmm neither: never seen such a short strace ... lirc fails just after reading urandom ... and such call is not present in any source file of lirc grep -nri urandom /var/tmp/portage/*lirc*/work .... so, maybe lirc fails due to something else ? like a system library ? I need an other 12h to finish upgrading compleetely my system, and run revdeprebuild ... I ll also try to grep urandom against all deps returned by ldd on lircd valgrind is not either an obvious debug app, but some times it shows better which library induce a bug ... more news soon.

Process 16649 detached it complains missing hardware even when using -d option !!! at last, I have tried vanilla from http://www.lirc.org/html/ , and it seems to work better: # /home/tmp/lirc-0.8.0/daemons/irrecord -d/dev/usbirboy /tmp/lircd.conf irrecord - application for recording IR-codes for usage with lirc then is asks me to press buttons, as normal ... to me, all binaries generated by ebuild are faulty ... likely unable to parse CLI arguments ... From here, if vanilla works for me, I will stop tracking bug if the Gentoo-build-emerged binary, and will install and use vanilla app.
Do you have your needed driver loaded? Seems to me like an existing device node without driver behind. If the driver is from lirc directly: Did you set LIRC_OPTS to a good value when compiling lirc? If you want to compile all drivers you can set LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=all" in /etc/make.conf.
ah, I remember linuxgate.so is a virtual library ... address given by ldd is absolute adress of routine in kernel space ... still, thats not the point with "missing hardware". Yes hardware is working with verbatim hand compiled daemon. driver is loaded and works with latest version of source from lirc.org. I dont need LIRC_OPTS since I use USB device IrBoy ! loaded driver with hotplug already ! LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=all" will not include IrBoy any way, AND wont fix since home build daemon works. problem IS FROM EBUILD. Verbatim source works. I forgot a bit about that bug, but from memory problem is linked with "gentoo patched stuff" not able to find conf file.
Added usbirboy to Summary, and added Homepage.
Does the daemon work if you compile lirc with LIRC_DEVICES="userspace" (or all) or for older lirc: LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=userspace" (or all) If this works one could add usbirboy as an ebuild and add LIRC_DEVICES="usbirboy" (will not work atm). Zzam
(In reply to comment #8) > Does the daemon work if you compile lirc with I do not understand your point. Hand compile from verbatim sources work perfectly when I download them myself from sourceforge. In actual case, ebuild breaks Lirc ! Maybe Gentoo inserts patches, or build commands inserts options that I dont have with the default configure && make && make install IrBoy guys do not provide any patch for Lirc: the device is 100% compliant with verbatim sources (provided required KERNEL module have been loeaded by udev).

And now the thing for you to test: Please try out this: For lirc-0.8.0-r1 set LIRC_DEVICES="userspace" or for lirc-0.8.0 set LIRC_OPTS="--with-drivers=userspace" emerge lirc This should result in about the same configured lirc-daemon. Then try if it works like your hand-compiled lirc. If yes, report it here and I can integrate this into the ebuild. You can also come to IRC (Network: Freenode) #gentoo-vdr.
> Gentoo does only add a patch for lirc to compile with kernel 2.6.16 but this is > irrelevant to you. but ... vanilla source does work fine on 2.6 ! so, IMHO, your patch is useless. going to test your options today. More news within 24h.
You also told about writing an ebuild for IrBoy ... but at which point du you want this ebuild to be dedicated ? only kernel driver ? also including firmware ? a new patch for LIRC tree ? what would be imho useless since vanilla works.

what happened with the last error is that ... I emerged sucessfully the ebuild long time ago, and then, overwrittent the binaries with "make install" of vanilla. That why portage thinks I use lirc-0.8.0 and says it will "Re-install it" ... when in fact, I am not using it ... ok thats dirty, but it have been working for weeks now, and next time at upgrade is available for the ebuild, bah, portage is gonna replace my actual vanilla silently :) I prefer sending seperate comments, so that people can reply topic-to-topic using references to comment number ... easier IMHO than few long comments. (I know it makes more emails for CC )
