Comment 14 for bug 153457

I wrote an email IguanaIR support asking for a how-to that was a little clearer. This was their reply.

-----------------
1) Install our iguanaIR package from our deb repository (see
http://www.iguanaworks.net/downloads.php?distro=deb )

2) run "sudo apt-get build-dep lirc"

3) run (in some temp directory) "sudo apt-get -b source lirc"

4) if 3) goes without problems, you will have lirc deb packages you can
install (sudo dpkg -i *.deb) and they should have iguanaIR support.
-----------------

This works great except as soon as I install it, the update manager says it has a new rev of lirc to install. It doesn't. I just doesn't like my new home built versions. I wish I could tell the update system not to try and update lirc unless a truly new version comes out. Then I'll have to run the above steps again, that is until this bug is truly fixed.
