compiling lirc stops with error message "missing dependencies"

[Daniel S. <dan...@gm...>]

Dear LIRC-community,

i finally found a solution for my problem!

I posted my solution at:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=198081#p198081

One may wants to change the sourcecode of LIRC, as it could save time
for people having the same problems i had.

First, the lirc/configure check of installed programs and libraries is
not significant for cross-compiling. So i guess, there should be a
separate configure-file for cross compiling.

Second, a new dependency should be added. Instead of libusb, the
dependency for all libusb-driver should be libusb-1.0 and libusb-compat.

Cheers,

Daniel
