[mythtv] Re: compiling mythtv frontend for cygwin

[Buechler, Mark R]

I'm compiling Win32-QT3 now with MinGW. Question - did you manage to get
MySQL plugin compiled with it? I'd like to stay completely away from Cygwin
if possible but I don't think that'll be possible with MySQL.

- Mark.

I managed to finally get a build of QT3.3 compiled.  I had to get it done
with mingw to avoid all of the linking issues in cygwin, and then rebuild
qmake for cygwin to allow myth to be built in cygwin.  For some reason
libmyth is having a really hard time linking against it however, and starts
referring to all of this x11 stuff for some reason.  I did check, and this
build works with all of the standard qt stuff, ex designer, linguist, and
all of the tutorials.  I posted a rar including all of the necessities to QT
(libs, binaries, and
includes) if you want to try to link libmyth against it and see the link
errors for yourself.

Also, everything I used to build QT3 is at the root of that directory.
 I built against the 3_3_branch of CVS, and had to make a couple of my own
changes.  I used mingw provided with devcpp.

I do have to say though, WOW there is a difference in speed between cygwin
compiled QTWin32 ( for what worked at least) and QTWin32 compiled under
mingw.  If designer wasn't so huge (or if I had more file space provided by
school) then I would post so you could see the difference.  Let me know if
any progress is made by anyone to get this link working
