Ok, I believe I have my Qt problems corrected after wiping Cygwin and
starting everything over from scratch again.  Now I am getting:

g++ -Wl,--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc -shared -Wl,-soname,cygmythavformat-0.15-0

make[1]: *** [sub-libavformat] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Joel/mythtv-0.15.1/libs'
make: *** [sub-libs] Error 2

It looks similar to the previous error I had, like the linker can't
find something it needs.  Any ideas?

Thanks again!
