compiling lirc stops with error message "missing dependencies"

[<oth...@gm...>]

Dear LIRC-Community,

i want to use lirc on openwrt, but since a half a year or so, i do have
serious problems while compiling it.

I opened a thread here:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=198193#p198193 and i would
be glad if you could help me. I also tried to email the developer of the
atilibusb-driver, but it seems that his email, which is given at the
header of his sourcecode is not valid anymore.

For me it seems that it is not working since the libusb version switched
from 0.1 to 1.0.
I guess (but actually have no idea if its true) that lirc cannot find
the file, because it is now provided by libusb-compat and not libusb.

Many thanks in advance,

Daniel.
