The ugly: 1. Not a lot of people are going the x86_64 route. If you're planning on using Fedora Core 3, expect problems. Lots of problems. You may want to consider Gentoo. So I'd recommend compiling myth and going with CVS.
Why do you expect more problems with FC3? In fact all FCx builds at ATrpms are made on FC3/x86_64 dual opterons, so there are people using x86_64. :)
Did you try the ATrpms x86_64 CVS builds?
Axel,
Sorry for replying off-list, but I didn't want to bug others with stuff that's been hashed over many times, stuff that I simply don't understand. I don't expect a tutorial from a busy guy like yourself, but maybe you can help me with some things.
1. If I am running an x86_64 opteron system, do I install FC3 with multi-lib support? Since Myth-Tv is 32 bit, wouldn't I need multi-lib for that, or am I not understanding what multi-lib means?
2. If I use multi-lib, I cannot use apt, correct? Isn't yum broken for this as well? Does this mean I have to compile on my own? Not that I have a huge problem with that, but I'm not savvy enough to figure out what goes wrong when compiling on my own.
3. I have never used and don't really get CVS. Is there a good howto or newbie tutorial out there for understanding CVS and how they apply to something like Myth-Tv?
You may recall I've emailed you a couple of time regarding x86_64. I'm sitting here with about $1500 in hardware that isn't doing anything, and I'd really like to get myth going on it, so ANY help or pointers you can give would be appreciated.
