Also, make sure you do not have WANT_AUTOCONF or WANT_AUTOMAKE
set in your environment, as it will use something other than
default if you do, which might be buggy...
These are the steps I took:
# emerge libieee1394
# emerge subversion
# svn checkout svn://svn.linux1394.org/libiec61883/trunk/ libiec61883
# cd libiec61883
# unset WANT_AUTOCONF
# unset WANT_AUTOMAKE
# ./autogen.sh
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
# make install
Then don't forget to add 'firewire' to your USE flags before
emerging mythtv, otherwise it won't have firewire support.

By saying that you emerged libraw1394, I assume you're using Gentoo. So am
I, and I've run into a problem building libiec61883. There's no ebuild for
it, so I fetched a tarball from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.linux1394.org/viewcvs/libiec61883/">http://www.linux1394.org/viewcvs/libiec61883/</a>
and tried running autoconf on that. I keep running into errors, though:
configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:5: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER
configure.ac:8: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
I let "emerge autoconf automake" pull in several different versions of each,
but even after that, I'm still running into trouble. How did you get the
build to work? Does autoconf need some options passed to it? I just picked
up an SA3250 this afternoon, and I'd like to see if the FireWire outputs on
it work.

So, here's what I've done so far:
Installed libraw1394, lib61883 and built Myth 0.18 on Gentoo. I've
secured a SA3250 and connected it to my Myth box via firewire. Bought
an HDTV which will arrive any day now. Checked dmesg and it looks
like the cable box is on node 0
ieee1394: Node added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[000f213ef5a80000]
ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023
ieee1394: Node changed: 0-01:1023 -> 0-00:1023
ieee1394: Node suspended: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[000f213ef5a80000]
ieee1394: Current remote IRM is not 1394a-2000 compliant, resetting...
ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023
ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023
ieee1394: Node resumed: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[000f213ef5a80000]
So, what next? How do I test that I'm getting data over the firewire
port, and how do I build what I need to so that Myth can recieve
content via firewire and change channels via firewire?

I've been playing around with HD over firewire for some time now. You
can check whether you're able to receive streaming content via firewire
using a couple of utilities I mention in my blog
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.oakesville.com/LinuxHtpcBlog">http://www.oakesville.com/LinuxHtpcBlog</a>). Check out the entries for
"gscanbus" and "test-mpeg2".<br>
