[mythtv-users] DVB support using ATrpms mythtv packages

[Ryan Brancheau (US)]

I used apt to get the dependencies when I built my MythCVS, but I
couldn't tell you all the names of the packages I installed, there were
about a jillion, and there might've been one or two that I had to do
from RPMs, because apt was broken for them.  It wasn't a one shot deal
where you could just say apt-get mythsuite-devel.  The usual format for
getting the libraries is apt-get install <packagename>-devel (Thanks
IvanK).  And sometimes it's lib<packagename>-devel.  You can just look
at the base RPM names and then try those with apt-get.

Hello,

I've searched the mailing list and google and not really come up with
anything definitive to answer my question.

I've been following Jarod's Fedora mythtv guide, which installs
mythtv-suite using apt-get and rpm's.
The guide is very good indeed but unfortunately the RPM's dont seem to
support DVB cards. Very annoying, ....for me anyway.

I ended up, after much faffing about due to other problems as well,
reinstalling my system and building mythtv manually, which involved
downloading lots of prerequisites, some in RPM form and some source and
compiling it all.

I'm now up and running again and mythTv is going well.

But incase I want to rebuild my system again, I wanted to know if it's
possible to use the apt-get method to get all of the dependencies and
add-ons installed and then just download the mythtv source and "make
install" it over the top of everything?

Is this possible? has anyone done this?


Cheers,

Jon.
