Description Bastien Nocera 2008-04-29 23:11:58 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #530359 +++

In the patch of the original bug:
-LIRC_HARDWARE_CONF    = path.join(LIRC_CONFDIR, 'hardware.conf')
+LIRC_HARDWARE_CONF    = path.join('@sysconfdir@', 'sysconfig', 'lirc')
Comment 1 Murray Cumming 2008-04-30 07:47:28 UTC 
Just so I understand, is it really 
  /etc/sysconfig/lirc
instead of 
  /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
on Fedora, and is it the same file format?

If so, then a simple configure option should make this possible.
Comment 2 Mathias Hasselmann (IRC: tbf) 2008-04-30 08:03:27 UTC 
The file name is different, but it also is a shell script fragment. Just some few options have different names. See #530648 (and also #530647).

    Make lirc hardware.conf location configurable
    
    By default /etc/lirc/hardware.conf on all distros but Fedora
    (for which we have /etc/sysconfig/lirc).
    
    Override by passing --with-lirc-conf=[location]
