[mythtv] Re: compiling mythtv frontend for cygwin

[Mario L]

Okay folks here are the last set of fixes to get a verison that will
compile all the way and even launch in windows:

As for Running it, I noticed some errors with the makefile when trying to do a
"make install", referencing ldconfid and some copy errors and various
things.  Regardless, all I did was copied over these mythfrontend.exe
and these dlls ( I was too excited to dwelve too far into whats up
with make install):

to their own folder.

I edited /usr/local/share/mythtv/mysql.txt to reference my backend
(which even worked using a samba hostname :)) and then launched from a
copy of bash running on X.  It is clear that there is still a bunch
that requires X to work.  I was quite astonished however, directsound
initializes, and the frontend starts to show up but directdraw has
some issues with live tv and recorded programs.  Now for the real fun
work....

I will try to update all my CVS to current and then create a patch
that I will attach to another email shortly.


Copy all of the required DLLs and mythfrontend.exe to a folder
edit /usr/local/share/mythtv/mysql.txt to include your backend
