Please use "New -> Gentoo Linux -> Component: Ebuilds" in future. Infrastructure is not the correct addressee. Also take into account, that you're not using a supported kernel, so it's likely that this bug will just be closed.

[Comment 2 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2005-04-13 09:26:31 UTC]

We don't support mm-sources but this issue will appear in other upcoming kernels too.

[Comment 3 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2005-04-22 10:33:48 UTC]

what about lirc-0.7.1

[Comment 4 Joerg Bornkessel (RETIRED) 2005-04-23 10:16:04 UTC]

I got the same error in both Versions (0.7.0-r1, 0.7.1)

[Comment 5 Keats 2005-07-26 07:15:36 UTC]

devfs have been droped from new kernels 
but lirc needs devfs header to compile correctly...
we need a newer version of lirc provide for udev...

[Comment 6 Joerg Bornkessel (RETIRED) 2005-07-26 08:08:30 UTC]

For fast help, u can try this ebuild from
http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=36448
in this tread is only one attached file < lirc-0.7.1-r33.tgz >
Put it in your PORTAGE_OVERLAY
I have tested on vanilla-2.6.13-rc, without any problems.
ebuild is not backward compatieble.

Do not hope of fast help from the maintainers of gentoo.org.
Most of them are very lazy :( 
The Mills on gentoo.org works very sloooooow :(

Maybe this comment give the Maintainer a kick, to move the Ass,
but i dont belive it.

[Comment 7 Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2005-08-23 03:39:10 UTC]

please try 0.7.2  

[Comment 8 Joerg Bornkessel (RETIRED) 2005-08-23 06:04:07 UTC]

Ok
i have tested on vanilla-2.6.13-r6 
it compiles without any Probs and work very fine.

i have also tested an mm-sources-2.6.11-mm4
i got some compile errors | die
maybe it come from some changes in classes in lirc-sources.
seems to be lirc is not backward compatibel

THX 

/bin/joerg aka brummy ;)

[Comment 9 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-02-05 08:44:38 UTC]

mm-sources is not a supported kernel in Gentoo.

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml#doc_chap2

Anyway, use 0.8.0_pre3.

[Comment 10 Joerg Bornkessel (RETIRED) 2006-02-06 01:57:12 UTC]

Yust for Notice,

there is an ebuild on gentoo.de Overlay CVS, this will be checkout the lirc cvs sources.

http://www.gentoo.de/viewcvs/app-misc/lirc-cvs/

Maybe it helps some users temporarly before an upstream is on gentoo.org portage.
