RE: FW: Cannot install GIRS driver

Hi Alec,

So, last night I tried several methods of install:

1) ./configure
2) ./configure --prefix=/usr
3) ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc  --localstatedir=/var
4) PPA method as described here:
https://launchpad.net/~leamas-alec/+archive/ubuntu/lirc-0.9.4

Before each install I removed everything using "make uninstall" and (if
possible) deleting all directories I found using "find / -type d | grep lirc
". Also I rebooted every time to make sure nothing funny is going on.

Result:
- All methods had trouble with paths, so I guess that a (or several) path(s)
are hardcoded somewhere. 
- Setting/Exporting LIRC_SOCKET_PATH did not help.
- In the PPA install girs was missing unfortunately.

Question: is there a previous version of LIRC that includes girs and might
handle paths better (if my theory is right)?

Thank you and cheers,

Chris

You need to verify that mode2 outputs data on stdout when receiving
keypresses. See mode2(1).

Have you started in lircd systemd service?

Really, you need to follow the configuration guide from last message.


Cheers!
