lirc

LIRC CVS is hosted at SourceForge. You can get a copy of the current CVS tree using anonymous CVS login. First log in to the cvs server (press <enter> for password):

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lirc login

Get the sources:

cvs -z8 -d:pserver:anonymous@lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/lirc co lirc

After initial checkout, you can change into this directory and execute cvs commands without the -d option. For example:

cvs update

Compile:

cd lirc
 ./autogen.sh
 ./setup.sh
 make
