LIRC installation problem

Mustafa744 commented 4 years ago

i have raspberry pi 3 runing raspian buster . i followed the instructions in https://github.com/AnaviTechnology/anavi-docs/blob/master/anavi-infrared-phat/anavi-infrared-phat.md but when i type `patch -p0 -i lirc-gpio-ir-0.10.patch`
i get : pi@raspberrypi:~/lirc-src $ patch -p0 -i lirc-gpio-ir-0.10.patch can't find file to patch at input line 4 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was:

|diff -ruN lirc-0.10.1.orig/lib/config_file.c lirc-0.10.1/lib/config_file.c |--- lirc-0.10.1.orig/lib/config_file.c 2017-09-10 17:52:19.000000000 +0900 |+++ lirc-0.10.1/lib/config_file.c 2019-06-26 00:39:45.734320696 +0900

Hi @Mustafa744,

Seems you are NOT executing the patch command in the directory where the source of LIRC is. Please follow all exact steps from user's manual about setting LIRC: https://github.com/AnaviTechnology/anavi-docs/blob/master/anavi-infrared-phat/anavi-infrared-phat.md#setting-up-lirc

I've just tested the part with the patch and everything seems fine therefore I will close the issue. Please feel free to open it again if you have any follow-up questions. Here is the log:

@leon-anavi the problem is that when i run apt source lirc i get lirc version 0.9.4c (instead of 0.10.1) despite updating my raspberry pi using sudo apt update here is the list of my lirc-src folder : pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd lirc-src/ pi@raspberrypi:~/lirc-src $ ls lirc-0.9.4c lirc_0.9.4c-9_armhf.build lirc_0.9.4c-9.debian.tar.xz lirc_0.9.4c-9.dsc lirc_0.9.4c.orig.tar.gz

how can i solve this problem?

leon-anavi commented 4 years ago

Hi @Mustafa744,

Hm, 0.9.4c is the old version. Could you please open a terminal, type in lsb_release -a and share the output here?

Thanks, Leon

Mustafa744 commented 4 years ago

@leon-anavi pi@raspberrypi:~/lirc-src $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.11 (stretch) Release: 9.11 Codename: stretch

leon-anavi commented 4 years ago

@Mustafa744, you are using Raspbian Stretch. It is recommended to upgrade to Raspbian Buster.

When you have buster the output will be:

pi@raspberrypi:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description:    Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Release:        10
Codename:       buster

The latest user's manual of ANAVI Infrared pHAT is for Raspbian Buster. Details are available here: https://blog.anavi.technology/?p=1

Although it is recommended to upgrade to Raspbian Buster, it is also possible to use ANAVI Infrared pHAT with Raspbian Stretch following the old user's manual. There are significant differences between Raspbian Stretch and Buster in terms of infrared.

Best regards, Leon

@leon-anavi ok i will use the old manual's instructions. thanks for your help ❤

leon-anavi commented 4 years ago

ok, you are welcome. Keep in mind that in future it is highly recommended to upgrade to Buster.

Best regards, Leon
