[MPlayer-users] LIRC + Linux Input layer: mplayer compile error: undefined reference to `lirc_configfile'

[Ben Lancaster]

Hey All,

Can anybody guide me in the right direction to solving this compile  
error?

$ make
-- snip --
mplayer.o(.data+0xdcc): undefined reference to `lirc_configfile'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mplayer] Error 1

All configured (successfully) using:

$ ./configure --with-codecsdir=/usr/lib/codecs --enable-lirc

I had LIRC installed and working with the latest stable binary  
release of mplayer (yum installed), but this is failing on CVS  
1.0pre7try2-3.2.3, grabbed yesterday.

Leaving ./configure to autodetect lirc gives this:

$ ./configure --with-codecsdir=/usr/lib/codecs
-- snip -- Checking for lirc ... no
Checking for lircc ... no

My IR device uses the Linux Input Layer, therefore it's /dev/input/ 
event0 rather than /dev/lirc/[0-9]

Thanks in advance,

Ben
