I'm trying to port the IR support to LinxPPC and have had some partial success. I want to ask a few questions to help me go in the right direction. 1) Has anybody attempted adding IR support on LinuxPPC? I don't want to re-invent the wheel. 2) I'm having trouble understanding which patches to use and the order to instal them in. Here's my situation: I need to use kernel 2.2.12 because none of the 2.3.x kernels will compile on a PPC system currently . A few weeks ago I read the following mailing list post from Dag Brattli: "I've just put out patch-2.3.15-irda2 for testing. This patch must be applied after patch-2.3.14-irda1, since it doesn't include this patch by itself. It might also be possible to apply this after patch-2.2.12-irda1 as well (use --dry-run first)." I applied patch-2.2.12-irda1 and patch-2.3.15-irda2 to the 2.2.12 kernel source from ftp.kernel.org. The patches installed fine and the kernel compiled fine. However I think I may have missed a step. The documentation at http://www.snafu.de/~wehe/IR-HOWTO-3.html describes changes that need to put in to the kernel source configuration, but doesn't explain what file these changes supposed to go in to. I don;t think I made these changes. I typically configure my kernel with 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig'. Neither of these options showed IRDA options. If edit the config file by hand, which file do I need to edit, and will editing this file, break the menuconfig option? 3) Today I see the archives contain patch-2.2.12-irda1 and patch-2.2.12-irda3. I haven't seen any information about patch-2.2.12-irda3. If I want to patch kernel source 2.2.12 with the latest patches, which patches should I use and in what order? Does patch-2.2.12-irda3 replace patch-2.2.12-irda1 (as a newer version), or does it need to be installed on top/after patch-2.2.12-irda1? What about patch-2.2.12-irda2? 4) The irda-utils package won;t currently compile. Some include files seem to be missing from my system, including linux/irda.h. Are all the necessary files included with the kernel source, or do I need to get an additional package? I hope to make some progress and get at least some of IRDA working. I'll let the list know of my progress.
