OK, I think I finally got a current snapshot of 0.24-fixes. Finally
figured out how to download a tarball from the github page and unpacked
it. I got a directory named "MythTV-mythtv-2a9d9f5". From my git
reading, the end of that directory name is the first part of a SHA1 hash
that identifies the branch?
Anyway, I navigated to mythtv within that directory and ran
"./configure" as root. Got this output:
mythfe01 mythtv # ./configure

Creating libs/libmythdb/mythconfig.h and libs/libmythdb/mythconfig.mak
libs/libmythdb/mythconfig.h is unchanged
external/FFmpeg/libavutil/avconfig.h is unchanged
So it appears that this won't build with Video 4 Linux or ivtv support.
Plus the python warning makes me suspicious as well.
So it appears that either I am missing something in my kernel config or
I haven't gotten the 0.24-fixes snapshot correctly.
Thanks,
Drew
