Description Alessandro Giorgio Togna 2003-10-02 07:09:45 UTC

i've been hacking on it for a few days now, and i'm amazed at the people who get
a /dev/lirc/0 ...
Nowhere in the sources is LIRC_HAVE_DEVFS defined (it's undefined in config.h.in
and acconfig.h) nor does ./configure define it.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Alessandro Giorgio Togna 2003-10-02 07:22:44 UTC

actually lirc doesn't need it defined to build for a devfs system...

it's automatically set in lirc_dev.c:

#include <linux/version.h>
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,4,0)
#define LIRC_HAVE_DEVFS
#endif
