Contents.LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of many (but not all) commonly used remote controls.Warning! Due to some bug into lirc-modules-source, lirc-0.7.3pre1 won't compile on dapper. More informations at Prepare the kernel source. install the kernel source package:. sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.12.

The following page will show you how to build your own infrared receiver for the serial port. Please note that the serial port driver in the LIRC package only supports 8250 compatible UARTs (this includes the most common 16450 and 16550A types). Here, I am going to demonstrate how to build a LIRC system. For hardware, you need an infrared receiver, which you might have already,. Here, I walk-through building the simple serial port detector inside a DB9 hood.

install setserial (this is needed to free the port). sudo apt-get install setserial. run the following command to setup the kernel for compiling the modules:.

cd /usr/srctar xjvf linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2ln -s linux-source-2.6.12 linuxcd linuxcp /boot/config-2.6.12-9-386.configmake oldconfigmake include/linux/version.h#this line is only need to create the file '/usr/src/linux/include/asm/param.h' that is needed# by the installation (and perhaps some more files). You don't have to compile all of the modules, just# hit Ctrl+C after a minute or so.make modulesInstall Lirc. download the lirc source:. wget install:. cd /usr/srctar xjvf /downloads/lirc-.tar.bz2cd lirc-0.7.3pre1./setup.sh. configuration (inside setup.sh):.
