Description Charles Phoenix 2003-08-29 23:37:36 UTC
this patch adds support for the PCF8574 chip which is in the Asus-TV box and
Personal Cinema

without this patch Personal Cinema will not work correctly


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Martin Holzer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-08 14:59:27 UTC
added to lirc-0.6.6-r2.ebuild
Comment 2 Charles Phoenix 2003-09-10 04:40:58 UTC
the above patch adds to more driver definations "tvbox" (Asus) and "breakoutbox" (Creative)

I tried to build for both drivers individually with
LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=tvbox" emerge lirc
and then
LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=breakout" emerge lirc
both failed to build giving the following error...

checking for which drivers can be installed on this system...
checking for caraca_init in -lcaraca_client... no
checking for ir_strerror in -lirman... no
checking for ir_strerror in -lirman_sw... no
configure: error: *** it is not possible to install the specified driver
        on this system
make: *** [config.status] Error 1
 
!!! ERROR: app-misc/lirc-0.6.6-r2 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 84, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)



For a control test I entered
LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=animax" emerge lirc
and it passed the above error point.


checking for which drivers can be installed on this system...
checking for caraca_init in -lcaraca_client... no
checking for ir_strerror in -lirman... no
checking for ir_strerror in -lirman_sw... no
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating drivers/Makefile


Then I tried a build with just
emerge lirc
and it installed correctly

/etc/lircd.conf contains the correct remote (Creative Breakoutbox)

when I started lircd I was given this warning, which is confusing
lircd 0.6.6: WARNING: garbage after 'name' token in line 10 ignored

at one point I was able to get motv to register the number keys so at some level it is working
