Installing the CommandIR driver from source involves these steps:
- Download LIRC CVS
- Install LIRC
- Check Installation
- lircd.conf's for CommandIR and your remotes/devices

:/cvsroot/lirc co lirc Compile LIRC ** NOTE the extra package 'libusb-dev' must be installed! Use 'apt-get install libusb-dev' or similar. Install LIRC and select the CommandIR (userspace) driver during setup (Select #1, #8, #8, then run configure with #3): cd lirc
./autogen.sh ./setup.sh 
make make install Check InstallationIf the CommandIR driver has been properly installed, you can run lircd and check that its driver is 'commandir': # lircd -n lircd: lircd(commandir) ready To use CommandIR by default on a reboot, modify your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to use no kernel modules and driver 'commandir'. Check CommandIR II Resources for a sample hardware.conf . CommandIR's lircd.confThe lircd.conf for CommandIR is special because it does not represent a remote or general a/v device. CommandIR intercepts these commands from LIRC and performs their corresponding actions (changing lights, setting parameters) and generates LIRC (devices and emitters pluggedin/unplugged, etc).
