Bug 48762 – lirc module bombing out kernel compile

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Adam 2004-04-23 00:04:22 UTC]

Turned on Lirc support in the kernel of Gentoo 2.6.5-r1, along with the mceusb remote module.  This bombs the kernel compile out every time.  Details follow.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make menuconfig
2. device drivers->character devices->linux infared controller->linux infared controller, and mce usb driver
3. save configuration
4. make clean
5. make && make modules_install


Actual Results:  
pasted above

Expected Results:  
for it to work??

ick, this module sucks.

[Comment 2 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2004-06-21 14:08:55 UTC]

lirc module is now gone from gentoo-dev-sources release, so this is no longer
a bug.
