[mythtv-users] MythTV without OpenGL

Follow this guide:

You do not need X or OpenGL or the full-blown QT to run myth. Mythtv is made
to run just in a framebuffer using DirectFB (which is small compared to
OpenGL) and qt-embedded.

Hi all,
Please, I really need your help in finding a way to avoid using openGL and
Mesa while running MythTV.
 
Is there a way of compiling and running MythTV without openGL?
 
I have the same problem as submitted yesterday:
 
 
I'm trying to build/install MythTV 0.20 on a MIPS based machine.
 
 
On my MIPS machine I have installed:
 
 
Qt Embedded
 
 
X11
 
 
 
 
I DO NOT have Mesa nor OpenGL installed on my MIPS machine.
 
 
Following this thread:
 
http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-dev/2005-November/042130.html
 
 
 
I've removed libmythui from  <http://libs.pro/> 
libs.pro <http://libs.pro/>  *and* mythuitest from programs.pro
<http://programs.pro/> .
 
 
 
But the build fails (when trying to build mythtv application) due to
 
undefined references to libmythui.
 
 
 
Do I HAVE to install Mesa or OpenGL in order for mythtv to compile? Is there
 
a way to bypass this dependency???
 
Thanks a lot!
Hagit

No experience here...  But can't you just install the dependencies, and
compile anyway?  You don't HAVE to use OpenGL even if it's there, there are
options to turn it off. 

[Hagit Guy]  How? What are the options I should use in order to turn it off?
It is very heavy for my machine to install openGL and I wanted to avoid it..
