flirc_util to send IR: missing libraries

1st Official Post

    Trying to automate switching on and off my beamer via flirc.

    Therefore, I need to run flirc_util - without success ;(, see below.

    Can anyone help, please? :)

    flirc_util is packaged for more conventional distros. I'm far from being an expert package creator, but I'll have a look into what's required to repackage it into a binary add-on for LE use. This will take me "some time" though (lots of other priorities at the minute) so it's probably easiest if you find a Windows, macOS or other Linux box to reprogram the USB dongle from.
