The aim is to eventually add some form DVD creation functionality as a 
frontend plugin to mythtv. It wont be the
version you are trying to compile but a new improved one.

I think the key to your problem is actually this:

main.cpp:135: error: `PREFIX' undeclared (first use this function)

Are you trying to compile the plugin standalone? The plugin is designed 
to compile like _all_ other plugins at least
official  ones. It will only compile from within the plugins directory. 
You need to run 'qmake mythburn-ui.pro'  so
it can then pickup its setting for  'PREFIX' and all the other settings 
required to compile and link like include paths
from the mythplugins build directory.

It needs to find both the mythplugins source and the mythtv sources. Due 
to recent changes in svn HEAD to how
the MythMainWindow is found it won't compile with any revision after 
r9156. It should work with the fixes branch
with no problems.

Hope this helps. To be honest I don't wont to spend any more time on the 
old UI. I want to concentrate on the
new one.
