There are always options you'll want to pass to configure, depending on
if you're compiling a frontend, backend or combined.

My compile line for my backend is:

./configure --enable-libx264 --enable-libfaac --enable-nonfree
--disable-joystick-menu --enable-libxvid --enable-libmp3lame
--disable-mythlogserver --disable-libcec

You'll also have to compile any plugins that you'll want to use.  I
don't use plugins any more, but when I did, my compile line was:

./configure --disable-mythbrowser --disable-mythgallery
--disable-mythgame --disable-mythnews --disable-mythzoneminder
