PortSystem 1.0

Name: lirc
Version: 0.8.3
revision 1
Category: sysutils net
Maintainers: ecronin
Platform: darwin
Description: Linux Infrared Remote Control
Long Description: LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of many (but not all) commonly used remote controls. NOTE: This port does not support any IR devices directly. You must connect to a remote lircd (--connect=example.org:8765) or listen for UDP packets (--driver=udp --device=) for lirc to be of any use locally.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/lirc
%  sudo port install lirc  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching lirc
--->  Verifying checksum for lirc
--->  Extracting lirc
--->  Configuring lirc
--->  Building lirc with target all

--->  Staging lirc into destroot

--->  Installing lirc

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using lirc with these commands:

%  man lirc
%  apropos lirc
%  which lirc
%  locate lirc
