Just an update on my progress:
I was finally able to get a clean build after doing ./configure --
disable-firewire and --disable-xvmc - somehow it wasn't finding
either of those even though they were installed (remember I had a
completely working myth system with atrpms before) - but when I
installed it and rebooted the frontend spit out "your version was
compiled with libmyth xxxx while this version is xxxx. You'll have to
recompile everything and do a make distclean" (or something similar).
Ok. I recompiled and did a distclean before building and the same
thing happened.
I then finally decided to restore everything back to where it was - I
removed and reinstalled mythtv from atrpms and now I'm back to where
I started with no myth lirc working ;)
I've thought about upgrading to CVS - is there a way to know if the
lirc bug has been fixed?

Johan,
I sincerely thank you for you help. I'm almost there - I have
followed your instructions precisely but I'm having a build error
while compiling libmyth. What's weird is ldconfig -p shows
libraw1394 stuff linked so I'm not sure what is going on.
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lraw1394

You have to change a few things for the linker to find the various
libraries.
I debugged the configure script to see what it was looking for,
and then added some to the ldconfig files. Below is the relevant
part of my x86_64 build docs, based on Jarod's guide. I should
probably post this somewhere, maybe an add on to Jarod's pages ?
(It assumes you have yum working; apt doesn't do multi-
architecture very well)
My WAF is very high at the moment; I just replaced 2 400-dics cd-
changers and 1 vcr/dvd combo with my mythbox over the weekend, and
she loves it!
Good luck,
Johan
---------
Building mythtv 0.18.1 from the srpm package.
As the available x86_64 packages did not support lirc, I decided
to rebuild from the source rpms to enable lirc support (leaving
the already installed packages loaded)
First, install prerequisites for building:
yum install lame-devel
yum install lirc-lib-devel
Now download the source package, and install. This goes to /usr/
src/redhat/SOURCES/.
Here, extract the sources:
tar -jxvf mythtv-0.18.1.tar.bz2
now change into the source directory and configure as needed. I run:
cd mythtv-0.18.1
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-joystick-menu --enable-lirc --
enable-xvmc
Check the output to make sure all expected things are turned on. --
prefix=/usr sets things to go to the same location as the packages
(ie. /usr/bin, /usr/include, etc.), instead of the default /usr/
local, which would result in double copies of the executables.
I noticed that lirc was not being recognized, even though it's
installed. Turns out, the configure script looks for two things:
the library, and header (.h) files. The header are installed with
the lirc-lib-devel package above, but to fix finding the library,
I did:
1 - Add file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/lirc-x86_64.conf, containing the line
/usr/lib64/
2 - now run ldconfig
You're ready to build! run 'qmake mythtv.pro', then 'make'.
If all builds cleanly, run 'make install' (as root)
Then restart your box (or backend only: "service mythtbackend
restart"), and test the new frontend!
