aclocal: not found during installing LIRC

spiderfish · January 31, 2019 at 4:48 PM

Hi,

I got an IR remote control and trying to follow these steps https://kodi.wiki/view/how-to:set_up_lirc but i got this error : aclocal: not found

How can I solve it, or if any updated way to install IR romote in LE

LIRC is already include with LibreELEC. You just need to configure it.

Maybe this could help Infrared Remotes [LibreELEC.wiki]

"LibreELEC still ships with LIRC so IR remotes with non-standard protocols and rather special setups can be supported. In general, keep LIRC disabled (in LibreELEC Settings → Services) and only enable it in the very few cases where you actually need it."

But I didn't find LIRC enable/disable in LE setting!

The version LE I am using is LibreELEC (official): 8.95.003 (Generic.x86_64)

Shall I need to try another version or build?

Try this Lirc disabled

The option to enable / disable Lirc in LibreELEC settings has been removed as well, lircd will now be started automatically if the

/storage/.config/lircd.conf file is present.

Unless you've got a really oddball remote you don't need to use lirc at all - in-kernel decoding with ir-kleytable configuration handles most common IR protocols and is a lot simpler than creating lircd.conf files.

so long,

I reached to this step:

Now for each button do the following steps

Press the button and note the scancode it generates (the 0x… value after scancode: )

Add a new line with the scancode (including 0x).

After the scancode enter the Linux keycode, separated with a blank.

The keycode must be one of the standard Linux keycodes. You can get a list of all supported keycodes via irrecord -l | grep ^KEY.

It's best to use those keycodes that are listed in /usr/share/kodi/system/Lircmap.xml in the <remote device=“devinput”> section. If you use other keycodes you'll have to create a Kodi lircmap.xml with keycode to Kodi action mappings.

When you're finished with all buttons, save the keytable, stop ir-keytable -t with CTRL+C and then test if it works. If testing succeeds, make it permanent via a /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg file like this:
Code
* * my_custom_remote

but didn't understand the three steps to create the buttons map!

Any example can help me?

Go read the instructions in the LE wiki that do not require LIRC - it's really not required for 99% of the remotes out there.

you mean I can edit the remote.xml , lircmap.xml and lircd.conf files as mentioned in this link:
