MYTH TV IS KILLING ME...

Okay,

I am trying to install and configure mythtv(ugh)

So I have installed the drivers for my tv card and it seems to be working.
I have also installed mythtv both frontend and backend, mysql, and configured them. They also seem to be working just fine…

Now I am working on installing the plugins, so I downloaded the mythplugins tarball and ran ./configure

This is the part that giving trouble.

I run ./configure and get this error about missing libraries…


linux-b1s9:/home/gehrig/Desktop/mythplugins-0.21 # ./configure
which: no sdl-config in (/opt/kde3/bin:/home/gehrig/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin)
MythMusic requires libmad.
MythMusic requires vorbis.
MythMusic requires FLAC.
MythMusic requires libcdaudio.
MythMusic requires the LAME mp3 encoder.

ERROR: mythconfig.mak not found at /usr/local/include/mythtv/mythconfig.mak
Did you make AND install MythTV first?
Are you using the correct prefix (/usr/local)?
Bailing out!!

the problem is these libraries are installed for example libtiff… sudo zypper install libtiff yields


Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'libtiff3' providing 'libtiff' is already installed.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.

all of the libraries are like this (except the KDE dev ones as I don’t know which ones to install) aslo there is no directory /usr/local/include/mythtv/

I’m really confused is there a way to get mythplugins to recognize the libraries installed? Is there a pre compiled RPM for SUSE so I don’t have to deal with this.

Hi
Add the packman repository :slight_smile: Normally when compiling you need the
<somename>-devel versions installed.

Thanks for the tip, I should have thought of that.

Now I am still getting these errors:

Also what are the KDE development libraries that i need?

Hi
If you use YaST software management and filter on ‘patterns’ there
should be an option to select the KDE Development.

mysql.h = mysql-devel
sdl-config = SDL-devel

I figured it out…

I found that mythconfig.mak is provided by libmyth-devel(I think)
suse however uses the directory /usr/include/mythtv
so i created a symlink at /usr/local/include/mythtv/mythconfig.mak pointing to /usr/include/mythtv/mythconfig.mak

This seemed to work.

I am however still stuck on mythbrowser I have installed qt3-devel and all it’s dependencies but mythbrowser is still compaining about missing kde devel libraries… Confusing

Hi
What about kdelibs3-devel?

ok ./configue worked

But now another problem arises

My computer doesn’t seem so happy

when I try to make, I get this…

This is only the part Konsole will let me copy as it is truncated because it is too long.

Hi
I would say if there are lots of errors like that it probably requires
patching for gcc 4.3. Why not grab the plugins from packman, else grab
the src rpm and build it from that?

I couldn’t find the mythplugins package on packman…
Is there something I am missing? Maybe a diffferent name in the suse repos for the RPM?

I couldn’t even find an RPM for Fedora or any other RPM based distro.

Looks like I might have to give up if I can’t figure out how to compile it.
