Some level of success here -
I am at the same point as joel now, 
I was having issues with mythmediamonitor and no fstab.h declared for
linux, and basically it boiled down to certain areas of
mythmediamonitor.h, mythmediamonitor.cpp, mythdialog.cpp need certain
things killed by the preprocessor to work correctly.

I am running into libmythtv stopping at nupplevideoplayer.cpp, but
only if directX is on,

g++ -c -pipe -fdata-sections -Wall -W -O3 -march=pentiumpro

It seems that if direct x is disabled, this all will go away, but the
odd thing is that direct x doesnt seem to reference anything about a
dialogboxa or dialogbox for that matter in any header files:

Mario Limonciello at supermario /tmp/mythCVS/libs/libmythtv
$ grep -r "dialogbox" /usr/include/directx/*
