After upgrading to kernel 2.6.33-rc4, lirc fails to compile with the following errors:

There also was a warning/error about linux/autoconf.h not being found (and then the same errors as above). After doing the following, the warning/error disappeared, but the other errors remained:
# cd /usr/src/linux/include
# ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/generated/* linux/

Kind regards

There will be a new upstream version of lirc once 2.6.33 settles down with development. Gentoo as a whole does not support release candidate kernels.

Well, they are in portage, anyway. I thought that opening bugs was the way to point developers at problems so they could be addressed in the release candidate phase and not after. I thought this was what ~x86 was all about ;-)

Comment 4 Thomas 2010-02-21 10:54:30 UTC
Right, if gentoo don't support RC kernels they should kick them out of portage (or mask them)

but I think I found a patch (not testet): http://old.nabble.com/Compile-error:-lirc-kernel-2.6.33-rc2-td26933086.html

I tried that patch when it was posted to the list and didn't have much luck with it then.  I did it again against 2-6.33-rc8 with the same results.   This is the only hold-up to upgrading my Myth frontends.

live ebuild that appears to work currently

I modified the current lirc-0.8.6-r2.ebuild to a live ebuild and tweaked it to replace the linux/autoconf.h to generated/autoconf.h.

It's a hack, but it works for me until a proper patch is released or upstream releases a new version.

Fixes includes for autoconf.h for post 2.6.32 kernels
Comment 11 Doug Hoffman 2010-03-07 06:53:32 UTC
It appears that a tested patch to resolve the issues introduced by kfifo changes in 2.6.33 has existed upstream for a little over 2 months now. It can be found here: http://lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lirc/lirc/drivers/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.h?hideattic=1&r1=text&r2=1.37%3Alirc-0_8_6&tr1=1.38&tr2=1.1&view=patch

See my comment #10 for a solution to the autoconf.h includes. Between these two patches, this issue should be resolved if they are implemented in the official lirc ebuild.
Comment 12 Christian Schmitt 2010-03-07 13:14:15 UTC
Applied both patches to the latest ebuild in portage and now lirc compiles again. Thanks for the fixes and hope to see this going into portage soon.

Had your problem (Couldn't build on kernel >=2.6.33).
Added the patched version to my overlay. Checkout from here if you need it:

This workes for with linux-2.6.33-gentoo-r2, where my kernel .config contains CONFIG_MATOM=y, as long as I comment out  LIRC_DEVICES="all" in /etc/make.conf.
Thank you!
When /etc/make.conf had uncommented LIRC_DEVICES="all" it fails the error snips:

works with *.34 as well.  About time :).  Been waiting for this ebuild to get fixed for a while.

It should be noted that the only driver I'm compiling is LIRC_DEVICES="lirc-serial".  I can't vouch for the rest.

0.8.6-r3 fails on lirc-0.8.6-i2c.patch

I filed Bug 321265 at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321265 before I saw this one, not sure if I should mark it as a duplicate.

0.8.7_pre1 compiles fine but is not working properly with imon_lcd.  If I cat /dev/lirc0 I can see output, but using irw (or mythtv) I get nothing.  But 0.8.5 is also doing the same thing for me so maybe I messed something else up.

I am using 2.6.32-r9.

Currently no lirc version is working with gentoo-sources-2.6.35-r1. If I do not compile any drivers I can install lirc. But with

LIRC_DEVICES="streamzap"

it fails. See attached build.log

Since 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 wont be supported by the kernel developers within the next few weeks any more I thougth I would give 2.6.35 a try. 2.6.32 is running fine with lirc 0.8.5.

Thanks!

build.log for kernel 2.6.35-r1
Comment 36 Jesse Adelman 2010-08-12 18:31:51 UTC
Hrm, I'm running 0.8.7_pre1 lirc with "X kernel_linux lirc_devices_hauppauge" set, under gentoo-sources-2.6.35 (not -r1) on x86, and it works for me. Perhaps try yours with g-s-2.6.35 (not -r1) and see if that works. If it does, then the problem may be with the -r1+ patches.
Comment 37 RW 2010-08-12 18:38:03 UTC
Looks like that this can fix the problem:

Comment 38 RW 2010-08-12 19:37:03 UTC
2.6.35 (without -r1) have the same problem for me.
Comment 39 RW 2010-08-12 20:56:15 UTC
Just for the records: Kernel 2.6.34-r4 is working with lirc 0.8.7_pre1 and streamzap module.

Cool.  Upgraded to pre2 and added this patch into my local overlay and it works beautifully with mceusb.

Can you attach the patch you used?

I tried copy/paste, but the patch doesn't apply to 0.8.7_pre2.

Patch from the described URL.

With regards to the previous comment, here is the exact patch that I used.

Also:
        if kernel_is ge 2 6 35 ; then
                ewarn "Patching to build with 2.6.35+"
                epatch ${FILESDIR}/lirc-0.8.7_pre2-2.6.35.patch
        fi

Excellent! I just tried it out, and my remote is functional again. Thank you! Let's get this into portage :-)

AFAICS the patch seems to retain compatibility with older kernel versions. I don't see a need for the conditional then. And even if, einfo shall be used instead of ewarn, and ${FILESDIR} shall be quoted.

I didn't test the patch with anything below 2.6.35 and ran with the notes that it was intended for compatibility.

As for the einfo and ${FILESDIR}, you are absolutely correct.  Thank you for elucidating that.

Supplied patch worked for me with a 2.6.35-r5 kernel. Any chance of getting this in portage for permanence's sake?

pre1 did compile for me with 2.6.35, but it does not create /dev/lirc0. Neither does it with the pre2 patch.

Without wishing to sound like a forum howto:
0.8.5, creates /dev/lircd for the first device and I expect this to be the case here. If it does not, then it is not working. Use irw. If this outputs something like "0000000080010002 00 KEY_1 devinput" then it is working and the /dev entry will be there. If it outputs just the number 1 or the number 1 appears on the command line anyway and the Up/Down/Left/Right keys act as cursor keys then HAL has captured the kernel module as a keyboard and mouse combination (if you are using HAL).

This can be overcome by adding the file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/100-user-lirc.fdi with the contents of:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
        <match key="linux.sysfs_path" contains="/sys/devices/virtual/rc">
                <merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
        </match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

Restart hald and then lirc. If it works, then file a bug against HAL, listing the above fix.
