Compiling Lirc with kernel 2.6.23-rc8-mm2

[Thomas E. <th...@es...>]

Hello Lirc List,

I have tried to compile lirc 0.7.2, 0.8.0 and 0.8.2pre3 on my machine - 
but all to no avail. I am getting the following output from the 'make' 
command:

As I was wondering why the configure script thinks my kernel source is 
in '/lib/modules/2.6.23-rc8-mm2/', I tried to run './configure 
--with-kerneldir=/usr/src/linux --with-driver=hauppauge' (as 
/usr/src/linux is where the configured source for my running kernel 
resides). Doing this and calling make results in the following output:

---------------------------------------------------

These same two things seem to happen for all the versions of Lirc I have 
tried. Unfortunately, I have no clue about what to do next or how to fix 
any of these problems, so I really hope you can help me out.

Thank you very much in advance,

Thomas
