You will have to use the lirc_serial kernel module. Now enter 'make' and 'make install' to compile and install the package. * /usr/src/linux is a symbolic link * Determining the real directory of the Linux kernel source code * * The kernel Makefile says that this is a 2.6.10 kernel * but the source is in a directory for a 2.6.10-r1 kernel. * * This goes against the recommended Gentoo naming convention. * Please rename your source directory to 'linux-2.6.10' * * Building for Linux 2.6.10 found in /usr/src/linux * which outputs to /usr/src/linux * By not using the kernel's ability to output to an alternative * directory, some external module builds may fail. * See <insert link to user doc here> * Due to the 2.6 kernel build system, external module compilation * with a normal setup requires write access to //usr/src/linux * There are several ways to fix/prevent this. * Users can willingly let portage make this writable by doing * # config-kernel --allow-writable yes * However, this is considered a security risk!
The ebuild you are looking at uses one of our old installation interfaces which is being phased out. The more recent ebuilds won't have this problem.
