Basically, you should be able to run a modern lirc on jessie. The easiest path is to use the lirc-debian-src tarball, from which you can build .deb packages to install. Another way is to update debian to the testing branch i. e., stretch which includes lirc-0.9.4c by default (this is no significant difference form the 0.9.4d release). Anyway, you need to configure things, see [1].

Hi Alec, Downloaded and built 0.9.4d on raspberry pi. It looks all ok, except that default paths are wrong. Everything seems to be prefixed with /usr/local --> so my /etc/lirc/.. appears in /usr/local/etc/lirc/.., similar with socket path, etc. I can get the whole thing working manually (irw would display keystrokes correctly, with my own lircrc file), but default paths are wrong. Tried various options for --prefix when running configure: it does have affect, but overall does not seem to work ok. Any ideas? thanks a lot, Zoltan On Fri, Feb 10, 2017 at 2:05 PM, Alec Leamas <[hidden email]> wrote:
