	Hi George.

	This looks similar to the error I had building a MacOS X frontend.
There is a fix for this in the latest CVS version of those .pro files,
or if you want to patch manually, try this:

% cvs diff -r1.62 -r1.64 libmythtv.pro
Index: libmythtv.pro

P.S. It is much better if you edit the .pro files
      instead of hacking all the Makefiles.

	Hmmm. The 0.15 version of volumecontrol.cpp should work.
Did you edit the top level settings file (setttings.pro) to
define _WIN32 and to undefine all the Linux & X-windows
specific stuff?
