ubuntu/lirc/lirc_gpio/lirc_gpio.c fails to compile properly, btcx-risc.h not found

[Kristofer Monisit]

Upon compiling the 2.6.31 kernel with Ubuntu patch 11.36, I get the following errors, and compilation stops

  CC [M] ubuntu/lirc/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.o

I decided to skip LIRC altogether by disabling it in make menuconfig (Ubuntu Supplied Third-Party Device Drivers --> LIRC device support)

Here is my investigation regarding the matter:

Looking around the directory
~/linux/linux-2.6.31/drivers/media/video/bt8xx/
btcx-risc.h indeed doesn't exist.

However, btcx-risc.h resides a directory level higher, in
~/linux/linux-2.6.31/drivers/media/video/

Will copying btcx-risc.h to the bt8xx directory eliminate the compile problems presented by LIRC?

Hi Kristofer,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 438240

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
