Hi,
i tried to install an updted lirc via the tutorial at https://gist.github.com/bullshit/918d74db9473355d7181 (https://gist.github.com/bullshit/918d74db9473355d7181)
i could create the package and install it. unfortunately, it wont work after rebooting the computer.
whenever i try to send something via irsend (commands which worked fine before) the following error occurs:
irsend: could not connect to socket
irsend: Connection refused
when I turn on the computer, the yellow led of the ir toy is on. it turns off whenever I try to send an ir command.
did I miss some kind of delay or anything else? im quite frustrated because after 2 whole days of trial&error i finally got it to work - but only until the next reboot of the computer :(
OS: kodibuntu x86
This is a Lirc issue and has nothing to do with IrToy. Since the official Lirc contains support for IrToy (it is the Kooiman driver, with improvements), let me suggest you:
1. Use the official Lirc distro, source. version 0.9.3 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/lirc/f ... t/download (https://sourceforge.net/projects/lirc/files/latest/download))
2. Use the Lirc mailing list for support, alternatively, raise issues on sourceforge for bugs.
3. Request to your Linux distributor to update their Lirc version.
Somehow I have the feeling that I am saying this over and over again...
Thank you very much.
I can't compile it as it fails while "make" with some very cryptic problem:
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../../lib/libirman.a(irfunc.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.bss' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../../lib/libirman.a: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [irman.la] Error 1
I guess you're right, i will try to find some help in lirc mailing list. thank you again.
