Attach URL kernel patch that removed these symbols since the kernel authors said they were unused.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/125384 You might be able to get away without lirc_gpio: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7660 Doesn't seem to be a real answer here (other than get lirc stuff upstream), sorry...
Disabled lirc_gpio compilation for lirc-0.8.2-r1 and newer on Kernel 2.6.22+. If someone attaches a better text to let the user know how to workaround the problem it will be added to the ebuilds.
(In reply to comment #3) > If someone attaches a better text to let the user know how to workaround the > problem it will be added to the ebuilds. Sigh... Maybe upstream kernel folks could do some basic research before claiming something is unused and removing it from kernel?!
(In reply to comment #4) > Sigh... Maybe upstream kernel folks could do some basic research before > claiming something is unused and removing it from kernel?! It is unused as far as upstream are concerned. Out-of-tree doesn't count when it comes to the Linux kernel. As Daniel says above, the only real solution is to get it in-tree. There has been talk about that for lirc, but not much in the way of action, AFAICS.
(In reply to comment #5) > Out-of-tree doesn't count when it comes to the Linux kernel. Riiight... Closing this UPSTREAM, with lot of thanks to kernel folks for breaking something that's been working for ages.
There's actually a lot of work to get lirc into the kernel. Jarod over at Red Hat has been spearheading this and has a git tree with that work included.
Sorry, I stand corrected! I can't wait to see this, it will help me too. For others interested the git tree seems to be here: http://git.wilsonet.com/linux-2.6-lirc.git/
