How to configure and use LIRC
LIRC is basically a small server which can decode or transmit infra-red signals. This is a tutorial about how to set up the LIRC server and how to use it in order to control your system or specific LIRC-enabled applications with a remote control. Examples of simple or more complicated setups are also provided.
This guide was written while using a Fedora 4 system.
Prerequisites
In order to use LIRC you will need the necessary hardware components, a remote control and an infrared receiver. LIRC supports a lengthy list of such devices. You can check if your equipment is supported at this page.
Next thing is to download the latest stable LIRC package from the project page and configure it properly for your equipment. For this article I’ll use the traditional way of compiling and installing software, so some such experience is required from your part. Of course, if you are into package building, you can build your own RPM or DEB package.
