RE: [Linux-IrDA]compilation problems

[Cameron B. Prince]

I am also running Redhat v6.0 and ran into the same problems you mention. I was however, able to get things working. The errors did concern me, but it works for me without the hacking mentioned below. The thing that made the biggest difference was compiling a new kernel with irda patch 3. I would suggest doing this if you have not.   Cameron B. Prince   Internet Experts Inc.

Regards Larry Mitchell   Hi,   I am trying to compile the irda utils for the first time and am having some problems.  I am running RedHat 6.0 with kernel source and headers 2.2.5-22.  I have irda-utils version 0.9.4.  The compilation goes fine until it hits irdadump. Then it runs into problems with including linux/irda.h.  The ir-howto (from february) i have mentions that this might be a problem and says to include some definitions.  I did this, but it appears that things have changed since then and it uses more kernel definitions.  I tried just showing it where the current irda.h file is (/usr/src/linux/include/net/irda), but that just lead to more problems.  After hacking out pieces from a couple of ir header files and   placing them directly in the irdadump code, i managed to get it to compile.   Next it went on to obex and had similar, but more serious problems that hacking couldnt fix.  Is it that I need to patch the source code?  If so, which patches do I need?  Or is there something obvious that I am missing?   Also, I am using a gateway solo 2500.  If anyone knows any of the IR specs for this machine, I would appreciate it.  My routing around has only revealed that it does indeed have ir (whew!), ir is on ttyS1 and that it has FIR of some sort.   Thanks, David
