[Srm7500-linux-discuss] Build instructions on debian/ubuntu systems

[Henning G. <ear...@us...>]

Moin,
build instructions on ubuntu follow:

1) in /etc/apt/sources.list, insert a deb-src line like:

1a-debian)
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib

1a-ubuntu)
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted universe multiverse

maybe you can also achieve this using the GUI package repository manager in
the system administration menu...

1b)
root@host:~> apt-get update

2)
root@host:~> apt-get install cvs build-essential autoconf automake dialog \
libtool python
[...]

# this won't work without step 1, the deb-src repository:
root@host:~> apt-get build-dep lirc
[...]

user@host:~> cvs -d:pserver:ano...@li...:/cvsroot/lirc login
Logging in to :pserver:ano...@li...:2401/cvsroot/lirc
CVS password: <simply press enter/return here>

user@host:~> cvs -z8 -d:pserver:ano...@li...:/cvsroot/lirc co lirc
[...]

user@host:~> cd lirc
user@host:lirc> aclocal
[...]
user@host:lirc> ./autogen.sh
[...]
user@host:lirc> ./setup.sh
<select driver usb/philips srm7500, then 'save configuration and run
configure'>

user@host:lirc> make

root@host:/home/user/lirc> make install
<this installs everything under /usr/local>

3) from there on, follow the setup instructions in remotes/philips/lircd.conf.srm7500libusb
