unable to create binary modules (Debian Woody kernel 2.4.20)
I made several different attempts to install lirc, but with no avail.
As I am not fully aware which information may be relevant to the
problem, I enclose only the log fragments of my attempts to create
modules automatically with dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source.
I will be only too happy to provide additional information on request.
I am looking forward to any comments and suggestions.
Regards
Janusz
Package: lirc-modules-source
Version: 0.6.5-1
-- System Information
Debian Release: 3.0
Architecture: i386

A fragment of the log from the first attempt:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the second attempt I copied ".config" from
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.20-3-k7/ to /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20.
I got this idea from http://www.sllug.org/how-to/linux-htpc/lirc.html,
but maybe I misunderstood the author. Here is again a fragment of the
log:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
