[mythtv-users] Compiling MythTV on a computer instead of the Xbox

[Monkey Pet]

For the xml error, make sure this is commented out in debian/rules, like this:

 #     dh_install --sourcedir=debian/mythtv -pmythtv-backend
usr/share/mythtv/setup.xml
 #     rm -f debian/mythtv/usr/share/mythtv/setup.xml

For the Python error make sure you have the python2-3-dev package installed:

xebian:~# dpkg -l |grep python
ii  python2.3      2.3.5-3sarge2  An interactive high-level object-oriented la
ii  python2.3-dev  2.3.5-3sarge2  Header files and a static library for Python
