Problem compiling irda-utils

April 13, 2005

Hi,

I having some problems with IrDA. I tried to get it working by urpmi irda but I cant get it running. For this reason I have decided to start from scratch. I following a how to located here;

http://tuxmobil.org/Infrared-HOWTO/infrare...owto-s-software

I have downloaded irda-utils and ran tar -zxvf. I then cd into the directory and as per the instructions I run the following;

# make clean

which yields the following output;

set -e ; for d in irattach irdaping etc man psion tekram findchip irdadump ; do make -C $d clean ; done

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/caleb/irda-utils-0.9.15/irdadump'

make: *** [clean] Error 2

I don know what the error means. I just ran the next command in the instructions instead;\

# make all

which produces the following output;

echo "*** Making sure some directories exists ***"

*** Making sure some directories exists ***

mkdir -p /usr/sbin

cd irdadump;CFLAGS="-O2 -W -Wall" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -W -Wall" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr

You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal.

Something is very wrong.

Now type 'make' to compile irdadump.

for i in irattach irdaping etc man psion tekram findchip irdadump ; do \

cd $i;make all; cd ..; \
