[mythtv] possible changes?

[Cedar McKay]

I'm about to submit some documentation for Red Hat, which includes some 
workarounds, and it occurred to me that maybe someone might be willing 
to change the code so that the workarounds are not necessary.

Problem 1)
When installing mythtv Red Hat users must go into the themes directory 
and edit the makefile there, commenting out lines that start with 
"strip". I don't know what "strip" is for and "strip - Discard symbols 
from object files" from the man page doesn't really make it more clear. 
Are these lines really needed considering it works better for Red Hat 
users without? If they are needed what can we do so Red Hat users don't 
have to manually edit that file?


Problem 2)
When installing mythweather only 9 of the 15 images get copied to 
/usr/local/share/mythtv/mythweather/images on install. I have no idea 
why. Red Hat users must then manually copy the rest over.


Problem 3)
When compiling mythweather Red Hat users must add /usr/include/cdda to 
settings.pro as an include path or they will get a compile error. Can 
this path be added to settings.pro so Red Hat users don't have to do it 
manually?



Keep in mind that I don't know anything about programming, so these 
might be unreasonable requests.


best,

Cedar
