Backport of #9520
This forum post reports use of not existent /var/lock/lockdev directory of lirc.
configure does detect /var/lock correctly but there is a left over lib/lirc/config.h in lirc release archive 0.10.2 overwriting the path. Delete the file.
Furthermore define lock directory using
--with-lockdir=/var/lock
because lirc's configure does check the host file system and set /var/lock/lockdev if existing.I difference to master branch the missing VERSION_NODOTS value only generate a warning in get_server_version() even being a bug. Change the disable python patch to use shell script instead of python code to compute the value.
