Attempted to install lirc-0.9.0 with LIRC_DEVICES="commandir". The emerge failed with a message stating that libusb was needed. After verifying that libusb was indeed installed, I downloaded the sources for lirc and attempted a manual install with the same result. I un-emerged libusb and downloaded and compiled from sources, and still had the same problem. Uninstalled all manually installed components, re-emerged libusb, tried lirc again, and same. Finally installed libusb-compat (masked with ~amd), and this provided usb.h. lirc installed from emerge fine now. There seems to be a dependancy for libusb_compat in lirc when using the commandir module. This may extend to other USB IR devices. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.LIRC_DEVICES="commandir" emerge -av lirc 2.emerge fails with message stating libusb is needed 3.echo "dev-libs/libusb-compat ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords 4.emerge -av libusb-compat 5. Repeat 1, above = success! Actual Results: lirc emerge failed Expected Results: lirc emerge should complete libusb-compat provides the needed usb.h file. Don't know what the solution should be, since libusb-compat is masked by ~arch keyword.
Er, so lirc couldn't find the libusb.h file that libusb should have installed? /usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.
No - it could not find usb.h (not libusb.h). usb.h was not provided by libusb - libusb-compat did provide it. This is also not the usb.h present in kernel sources - this is a different one that was placed by libusb-compat in /usr/include/usb.h. I tried copying over the usb.h from kernel sources just in case, and it did not like that one at all. How can I get the entire build log for this so I can attach? Only emerge-related log I can find is /var/log/emerge.log -- I don't think that is what you want.
Same for me, without libusb-compat [0.1.3 ~amd64] lirc-0.9.0 fails with: * Preparing lirc module * econf: updating lirc-0.9.0/config.guess with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess * econf: updating lirc-0.9.0/config.sub with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib64 --localstatedir=/var --with-syslog=LOG_DAEMON --enable-sandboxed --with-kerneldir=/usr/src/linux --with-moduledir=/lib/modules/2.6.38.5-zen-heroth-v3/misc --disable-debug --with-x --with-driver=atilibusb checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc accepts -g... yes checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking for style of include used by make...
