When you run qmake to create the make file for mytharchive or run the 
configure script which then runs qmake for you it reads the SRC_PATH 
variable from the mythconfig.mak file which points to the original myth 
source directory you used to install myth.  qmake then adds some paths 
to the INCLUDEPATH variable that point to the libmythtv and libmyth 
directory in the original mythtv directories. So check that the 
SRC_PATH= line in the mythconfig.mak is actually pointing to the myth 
source directory.
