Well MythTV 0.15 is out! I compiled CVS from 5/25/04 on 5/26/04 without any major issue and all went well. If anyone wants to compile 0.15, you should have no major issues. Of course you'll want to run mythbackup first. Ensure you apt-get install xmltv(not need for North American users) libtiff3g-dev(if you want MythGallery). If you get a duplicate 'title_pronounce' column error when you run setup after make install, you'll need to delete title_pronouce from the program table. Webmin can be used to accoumplished this. I have work in a few hours, so it won't be until tomorrow before I can compile and make debs. If you don't know how to compile from source, please read the instructions

First, I want to thank you for all the work you are doing to help us.

A lot of people here are Linux newbies (like me), using Knoppmyth for ease of installation. Doing a CVS upgrade is too much for most of us, we have enough problems already managing a new OS and a complex program.

Since Zap2it broke XMLTV, R4v3 doesnt work anymore for North America. When do you plan to incorporate 0.15 into Knoppmyth? Or, is there an easy way to upgrade to Data Direct from R4v3 on a new install?

bgood: As cesman stated "before I can compile and make debs" - These are in essence an install package that will upgrade your 0.14 to 0.15. Once he has them ready, I am sure he will post a link for users to upgrade. After that, I am sure that they will incorporate those into the next release of KnoppMyth along with other enhancements. Hope that helps with that question. Or if you do not want to wait - read the links and hints on compiling on your own.

As for Datadirect - it has been discussed at length of how to update that here (or a search for datadirect will pull up these posts):

Good luck - I did the update from R4v2 and it was painless.

Thanks for taking the time to get this out to those of us who don't want to try a compile ourselves. It really makes my life easier, especially now that both my wife and I are addicted to MythTV.

Thanks.

Just to echo what masonjd said, huge thanks to cesman and the other LINUX gurus behind Knoppmyth! You guys have enabled MANY non-LINUX people to use Mythtv. Mythtv kicks ass and has enriched my television watching experience (haven't used the VCR since I built my Knoppmyth box). Speaking for myself, I would never have gotten Mythtv to work from the source. Knoppmyth is a truly unique product. Kudos to you! Thank you for your time and hard work on this project. Bringing Mythtv to the masses is something you should be very proud of doing!

I address this to the devs of Knoppmyth, and to the active members of the forums: huge appreciation for your time with these forums. You have added value to countless others through troubleshooting of installs, and general education about LINUX and Mythtv.

Not to drag this this tread of topic.. buy i had to say wow.. You guys rock.
I had tried to install myth twice back on .12 with no sucess. I had given up until i ran accross knoppmyth. Your progect gave me the the (in baseball terms) softfloater that allowed me to hit the ball for once! i have used this experience to learn alot about linux. As many others have. Some times when starting out you need to win alittle to feel like you can do it. Thank s to the devs behind this awsome project.

Has anyone tried compiling from source? I'm getting this error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt-mt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libmythavcodec-0.15.so.0.15.0] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mythtv/install/mythtv-0.15/libs/libavcodec'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mythtv/install/mythtv-0.15/libs'
make: *** [sub-libs] Error 2

I did a search on the mailing list and the response had something to do with recompiling Qt with thread support. Is this necessary? If so, how do I go about doing that?

Hi guys

I've found those binary packages :

http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian ... inary-all/

is there anyone who already tried to install those packages ?

Cesman : do you plan to make your own debs for such reasons ?

Thanks

Yhan

Yes. Did you Yhan: I've answered you're question already and too busy making my own debs to answer it again.

Just tried it. Same result. I'm using r4v2 if it matters. Thanks

I don't have V4R2 installed anywhere, but I think there was an inconsistency in its Qt. Instead of rebuilding Qt, you could just edit the Makefile in the MythTV directories where the link is failing.

Change -lqt-mt to -lqt

Or upgrade to V4R3 before building MythTV V0.15.

Or wait for the MythTV V0.15 .deb package files from cesman.

Or wait for V4R4.
