This is what I did prior to running configure: and yes, I've been developing on linux a while ( I started on slackware with kernel just prior to 1.0 :-) ) * I read the README's in the SVN. * I joined the -dev (and -user) lists and mostly lurked for 3 months, listening carefully. * I overviewed the : http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall * I read (and followed where relevant) details the: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-4.html and relevant following pages. * I have a previously installed and fully working 0.18.1 RPM based install ( atrpms mythtv-suite was nice and easy!), which got all the "dependancies" for me (so I thought initially).
This isn't the problem. :-) Dependanceis are defficult, but resolvable. (in my case resolved) Building a RPM .spec file that automates chapters 4,5 and 13 of the http://www.mythtv.org/docs/ and builds a RPM automagically isn't really a problem either (it's almost written - will be posted soon)... What is a problem is when the build process is aparently broken: CURRENT SVN BUILD PROBLEM(1): Following a 'configure --prefix=/usr' Doing a 'make install' of SVN's mythtv/libs/libmyth/ isn't installing the header files correctly, it's installing to 'usr/include/mythtv/' not '/usr/include/mythtv/' as it should . (NOTE THE MISSING LEADING SLASH) CURRENT SVN BUILD PROBLEM(2) As a result of the above: 'mythbrowser' not building because it requires libmyth headers to be installed in /usr/include/mythtv/* and can't find them.
