Can not compile lirc_i2c

[deribin]

I'm trying to buld lirc for my Hauppauge PVR-350.
I have LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=hauppauge" and when I'm trying to make I got an error like:

kernel 2.6.14
Any help?

Just for anybody who don't want to dig though the lirc source code to fix a bug -- you can just switch to the latest 2.6.13 kernel buld and compile lirc w/o problems.

Thats true, but should not be the right solution. Actually I can confirm problems with lirc 0.7.2 on gentoo-sources 2.6.14. Here is my "emerge -av lirc"-output:

In my make.conf I have:

LIRC_OPTS="--with-x --with-driver=hauppauge"

Does anyone have a clue where the problem might be?

Thanks in advance.

Although it's still not a nice solution: try the cvs-version of lirc (v.0.7.3pre1). It works with gentoo-sources 2.6.14.

Well, first of all, this is not really a solution, is it? I'm having the same problem, and I don't really like using CVS builds....

I agree on this, but obviously there is no other one right now.

I think this is the best solution. Easy and clean.
