cd libmythupnp && make -f Makefile
WARNING: Failure to find: version.cpp
echo 'const char *myth_source_version =' '"'`(svnversion
/usr/home/usleep/mythtv2/mythtv 2>/dev/null) || echo Unknown`'";' >
.vers.new ; diff .vers.new version.cpp > .vers.diff 2>&1 ; if test -s
.vers.diff ; then mv -f .vers.new version.cpp ; fi ; rm -f .vers.new
.vers.diff
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/home/jan/mythtv2/mythtv/libs/libmythupnp.
*** Error code 1

my guess is that the code is being executed in (t)csh instead of sh (
even when i run the make command from a sh-shell ). maybe a cleaner
solution is to create a version.sh and call that from version.pro?

i think you should suppose i am willing to do what is necessary to get
mythtv compiling and working for freebsd right from svn.
