[mythtv] Re: compiling mythtv frontend for cygwin

[Mario L]

I managed to finally get a build of QT3.3 compiled.  I had to get it
done with mingw to avoid all of the linking issues in cygwin, and then
rebuild qmake for cygwin to allow myth to be built in cygwin.  For
some reason libmyth is having a really hard time linking against it
however, and starts referring to all of this x11 stuff for some
reason.  I did check, and this build works with all of the standard qt
stuff, ex designer, linguist, and all of the tutorials.  I posted a
rar including all of the necessities to QT (libs, binaries, and
includes) if you want to try to link libmyth against it and see the
link errors for yourself.

Also, everything I used to build QT3 is at the root of that directory.
 I built against the 3_3_branch of CVS, and had to make a couple of my
own changes.  I used mingw provided with devcpp.

I do have to say though, WOW there is a difference in speed between
cygwin compiled QTWin32 ( for what worked at least) and QTWin32
compiled under mingw.  If designer wasn't so huge (or if I had more
file space provided by school) then I would post so you could see the
difference.  Let me know if any progress is made by anyone to get this
link working
