[CentOS] Compiling lirc on centos 4.1

Karanbir,

I am still having problems. I grabbed the rpm and installed it. I could not get a /dev/lircd device.
I put the lirc.rules in /etc/udev/... even rebooted and still not there.

I then grabbed the src rpm, went through the normal stuff and tried to run ./configure and it tells
me I need the kernel source installed. I have the kernel source installed.

I am just selecting the default of serial when I run ./configure.

I would like to do this from the source package - but the kernel source keeps stopping that...

Any further ideas? 

Jerry

You can get a pre-built lirc-0.7.1 for i386 at :
http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/i386/RPMS/repodata/repoview/L.group.html

the source for it is 
http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/i386/SRPMS/lirc-0.7.1-1.src.rpm

You might want to take a look at how its packaged, make changes etc in 
the .spec and rebuild for your own needs.
