Bug 212745 – app-misc/lirc-0.8.3_pre1 fails w/ KBUILD_OUTPUT

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Honza 2008-03-08 18:23:09 UTC]

app-misc/lirc-0.8.3_pre1 fails on beginning make, I suppose problem lies in w/ KBUILD_OUTPUT

Primary source of bug is probably at configure:
checking for Linux kernel sources... make: *** [include/config/auto.conf] Error 1
make: *** [include/config/auto.conf] Error 1
make: *** [include/config/auto.conf] Error 1
./configure: line 24389: test: too many arguments
/usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r9/
checking for which drivers can be installed on this system...

The failure occurs at:
Makefile:183: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?).  Stop.

The "line" 183 is:
kernelcc =
  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
         include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have KBUILD_OUTPUT different from kernel sources
2. emerge lirc


Actual Results:  
The failure occurs at:
Makefile:183: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?).  Stop.

Expected Results:  
Should compile.

Seems like simple replacing of KV_DIR with KV_OUT_DIR in ebuild will solve this bug. The program will compile, unfortunately I can't verify it work because I don't know if my hardware is really supported and I'm just beginning to test configuration.

[Comment 2 Steve Dibb (RETIRED) 2009-01-10 12:51:59 UTC]

any luck on newer versions?

[Comment 3 Honza 2009-01-10 15:26:03 UTC]

0.8.3-r2 (stable): still same
0.8.4 (unstable): still error message
checking for Linux kernel sources... ./configure: line 24366: test: too many arguments
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20-gentoo-r8/

but the package will compile and work at least as good as before (with the KV_OUT_DIR from comment #1) - the irexec is able to run programs on IR.

BTW, that thing with "if no program using lirc is running, send the events as keys" (I'm using devinput) .... is there any way to turn it off ?

[Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2012-04-29 12:48:42 UTC]

Still the same with 0.8.7?

Not same but very similar. The package will build but the configure script is reporting following (non-fatal) errors:

...

could you try against lirc-0.9.0-r1 and attach the full build.log if there are any issues?
