As mentioned in a previous message, I've purchased a Sigmatel-based
USB/IR dongle.

Since Deys Electronics doesn't offer phone or web-based tech support
and I hate e-mail tech support, I've been incredibly frustrated
trying to use it. Finally, at the Sigmatel site, I found the chipset
drivers for Linux (which are GPL).

http://www.sigmatel.com/products/tech-support.htm#ir-support

One thing they mention is that the chipset won't work in Linux
without a patch they provide. Hm ... maybe this is the problem? I
download their Linux driver source and patches, but when I try to
compile the Linux driver software (needed to patch the EEPROM on the
dongle) I get errors. Specifically, these errors:

I'm no C programmer, I have no idea what's missing here to let the
compilation complete. I did edit the makefile to fix the path to the
Linux source and include directories.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions.



(What, nobody even has an opinion on my question about libxfce? Is
that a bug or not?)
