Using LIRC in Qt creator
-
Hi to all,
i'm trying to understand how to make an application using the LIRC (infrared remote control) package in Qt creator.
Anyone has experience with that?
At this link is possible to see the project and download the package : LIRC projectUntil now i make only one project in Qt creator using a package, but on the supplier site i found the instruction, but unfortunately i cannot found any instruction for LIRC. After that i download the project, what i can do ?
Thank you.

Build it.
Is explained here: https://lirc.org/html/install.html#compile
Then link the lirc library to your project. -

Thank you.@markolino_it Yes.
But actually, if you're on Linux you can simply install the lirc package and its -dev package. No need to build it by yourself then.

@markolino_it Yes.

I'm on Raspberry pi 3 (raspbian) so I think that is necessary to build it.

raspbian
I'm quite sure Raspbian (which is based on Debian) has lirc lib already, you should really check that first before building it by yourself.

Thank you.@markolino_it you didn't even check, did you?

If I click on this link i can download 3 files.http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/dists/stable/main/binary-armhf/
So it is possible to link the package in qt without compile?
I found a way to read an input from photo transistor without lircclick and i'm testing it. But i'm interesting to understand the chain in order to understand the step for use a package in qt as a library.
At the moment i think the order is:
1-download the package
2-build/compile it
3-use makefile
4-?Thank you.

@markolino_it Hi,
Use the package manager to install the development package for this library.
Then you can use it as any other dependency for your project. Update the
.profile to link to the library. If the headers are installed in a standard location you might not even need to modify the INCLUDEPATH variable. -

For sure i will check!
Thank you. -

@SGaist was talking about the packet manager of your Linux distribution!
Sinse Raspbian is a Debian derivate you have to use apt.
All you have to do is:
sudo apt install liblirc-dev -

Thank you.
