lirc_dev module doesn't build

[Marius S. <ma...@ti...>]

Hi,

Please forgive if this is a really stupid question, still new to lirc.

I'm trying to configure lirc on amd64 / gcc4 / kernel 2.6.13-rc6-git4, ev=
erything
seems to build and install ok except for the lirc_dev module, and lircd
then fails to load. Googling does throw up a few references to this kind
of problem, but the links to earlier kernel patches are all dead. I see
that that there is a drivers/lirc_dev directory in the tarball, but the
.ko file doesn't build.

The contents of /dev are as follows:

# ls -l /dev |grep lirc
crw-rw----  1 root root     61,   0 Aug 10 14:29 lirc
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root           0 Aug 19 09:52 lircd
prw-rw-rw-  1 root root           0 Aug 10 14:29 lircm

What should I do to correct this?

Cheers
