Description Georg Sauthoff 2002-06-02 12:34:10 UTC

Hi!      I attached the patch xawtv-3.73.ebuild.diff. The patch enables lirc support in   xawtv if you have put "lirc" in your USE variable (of course you have to have lirc installed).    With lirc you can control xawtv with you favourite remote.     You can find the lirc ebuild at the moment under:  http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3328     If you don't know lirc take a look at http://www.lirc.org, too.  Georg Sauthoff

Perhaps works with other versions of Xawtv too.

Ok we can't just go around adding use variables as we please (as I was told
about my proposed dxr3 use variable) if there are a lot of packages that will
make use of this and such, please open a bug assigned to drobbins with a
detailed proposal for the use variable otherwise, we'll need to find a different
way to do the autodetection of lirc for this.

Comment 3 Georg Sauthoff 2002-06-04 14:56:20 UTC

:)  Hm, I don't know a lot packages which could use the USE variable. Only   kdemultimedia (noatun), xawtv, mplayer and a xmms-plugin I think.    But the lirc variable is not really important.    Xawtv automatically detects with configure if lirc it there or not.  "checking for lirc_init in -llirc_client... yes" (at my mashine).    So then we only need to delete one line in the xawtv ebuild:  "--disable-lirc "    Is this fair?    P.S.: I think kdemultimedia autodetects lirc too, beacause the lirc  noatun plugin was automatically build.

Man we gotta get bugzilla to autowrap text, cuz when I post with lynx and when
you post with konqueror these things are impossible... anywho... Yeah I think
I'll go with just removing the --disable-lirc configure option from this build
once I get the lirc one sorted out with you ;-)

Ok, I can't test this much, but can you test how well it works by just removing
the "--disable-lirc" configure option and adding the dodoc?  Thanks!

Comment 6 Georg Sauthoff 2002-07-14 15:06:16 UTC

This two little changes work fine. configure self-detects correctly if lirc is
installed or not.
