Post subject:  Source development on top of KnoppMyth

Quick question: I would like to do some work on the Myth sources. So, I basically need to take out the "default" Myth, installed by the KnoppMyth debs, compile Myth from source and install (if possible in the same locations).

My understanding is that to do this cleanly, you would:

1) dpkg -r myth* (to remove all myth packages)
2) Get myth source, unpack.
3) Change the prefix location in settings.pro to "/usr", instead of "/usr/local"
4) Build Myth and install (qmake mythtv.pro;make;make install)

Would this procedure cleanly replace the default Myth, with executables and libraries coming off the source build? Can someone confirm, or correct me if I'm wrong?

Anything else I am forgetting?
Thanks,
Laurent

sounds about right. I would wait for someone else to confirm, as I haven't actually compiled mythtv from source on knoppmyth, but if you are just wanting to compile 0.15.1 then the source should be on the drive already. If you are wanting CVS of course you will have to download that.

dpkg -r myth* will not remove all packages. Packages must be removed one at a time. All else appears in order.

I have always had to export the QT directory or Myth wont compile.. so run this command BEFORE you compile myth

Code:
export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3

Thanks for the tips... I had those under control already...

No, it turns out, looks like there is a database issue. One of the files with password information probably got overwritten or something. I don't have time to investigate right now, but I will post what I find out.
