Latest firmware on Ubuntu x64

[purpleman]

Hi,

How can I get the latest firmware on Ubuntu x64?

The latest version on the apt is 1.3.6 which contains firmware 3.6.

Thanks

Indeed let us get a x64 bit build of Flirc and flirc_util. 

Even the .zip download only contain the 32bit release ...

I was able to run the 32bit version on 64bit Ubuntu/Debian by installing 32bit libraries:

 

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386

sudo apt-get install libusb:i386

sudo apt-get install libusb-0.1.4:i386

sudo apt-get install libusb-0.1.0:i386

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0:i386

sudo apt-get install libxt6:i386

sudo apt-get install libxext6:i386

sudo apt-get install libxi6:i386

sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1:i386

sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-0:i386

 

It takes quite some time to launch and show the GUI. Once open it reports that it have only firmware 3.6, just like thie 32bit flirc_util which works without installing additional libraries.
