I apologize for my lack of clarity. I was fairly burned out when I
wrote the original post. I've been building using mythtv source for
about 8 years or so. This is the build process I follow:
1) git update - For main mythtv source
2) run Configure (for me that means this command line: ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/mythtv.0.27 --disable-mythlogserver --enable-vdpau
--with-bindings=perl
3) make
4) make install (this is what I mean by install the binaries)
5) ldconfig as root (to update the cache of shared libraries)
6) git update - for plugins
7) run configure : ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mythtv.0.27
--disable-mythgame --enable-mythbrowser --enable-mythzoneminder
--enable-mythnetvision --enable-m
ythnews --disable-mythweather
8) make
9) make install
10) ldconfig as root
