Hello,

I'd like to suggest a few improvements for lirc to handle cross
compilation better. The attached patches were tested with Nixpkgs, and
seems to work for us (with a few changes to the Nix expression not
published here).

Please consider merging at least some of them - many of them can be
merged individually. Here's a summary

Doron Behar (6):
  lirc-make-devinput: avoid using python interpreter
  configure.ac: use standard PKG_CONFIG variable
  configure.ac: device VERSION_NODOTS without Python
  configure.ac: Check linux/input.h header instead of /dev/input
  configure.ac: query for a Python only with PKG_CHECK_MODULES
  Ditch Python dependent make_rel_symlink with ln -sr
