my questions is what is the purpose of mythfrontend.real and why is it
not created when you build mythtv from source??
what I did was on a fresh Xubuntu 18.04 system, I built mythtv from
source fixes/30 branch and when I tried to run
/usr/local/bin/mythfrontend it failed due to QT mysql driver not
loaded. I could not figure that one out so I setup to install mythtv
via the ppa:mythbuntu/30 so I'd get the missing piece. Then I could go
back to working with the source.
That fixed my problem some how, but I noticed that the ppa mythtv stuff
was in /usr/bin and the source built myth stuff was in /usr/local/bin.
And the source built stuff had no mythfrontend.real.
Is it needed??
