cd xine-ui
./configure --help | grep lirc
  --disable-lirc          Turn off LIRC support.

would suggest it is found automatically if you have lirc installed
correctly. which would explain why I've never had to do anything
special.

convention. most user defined rc (resource configuration) files are
found hidden in your home directory.

also note that $HOME is an environment variable that would expand to
/home/tomdab or /home/simon depending on your /etc/passwd and username.
