Compilation of LIRC driver fails due to missing files from kernel-devel

[raoul]

My tv tuner's IR receiver is plugged directly to the tuner card (non USB/serial), so lirc_gpio kernel module is mandatory for the remote control to work. The real problem is that the fedora's kernel-devel package does not contain the bttv sources, which are needed for lirc_gpio to compile.

What are my options? Is there a way to compile it without using a custom kernel?

install the bttv source code. google is your friend

I ve already done so, but lirc_gpio does not compile. I put the 0.9.15 bttv source to /usr/src/kernels/2.6.12-1.1447_FC4-i686/drivers/media/. I gave it a quick try this afternoon but it's no go..

Have you managed to compile it? If yes, could you be more specific about placing the bttv-source to the kernel-source directory?

Why is bttv source missing from kernel-devel anyway? ATRPMS repo has a lirc_gpio kernel module. How did they compile it? Do they use custom kernels?

I still cannot compile the lirc module "lirc_gpio". Some help would be greatly appreciated. What am I missing?
