[mythtv-users] MythTV On Gentoo - Thoughts and Questions

[Jeff Simpson]

I use gnome, but not on the myth session. I just use a very minimal
setup for myth:

http://jeff.jeffornot.com/start_myth.sh

for my use flags:

USE="gnome2 gtk2 gtk apache2 php perl acpi apm avi esd gnome \
gtkhtml jpeg libwww mpeg mysql opengl perl png samba ssl \
tiff truetype usb X gl pda berkdb sdk dvd sse 3dnow maildir pam -arts \
offensive -qt lirc mythtv network nvidia real v4l v4l2 xvid vhosts mjpeg \
aac threads mythdebug"

you can probably ignore most of those. mythdebug is a flag I added
myself for use in the hacked-up cvs ebuild I have. So don't bother
putting that one in there. Not sure how many of the other flags are
needed for myth, but I remember recently adding mjpeg aac and threads
to get nuvexport to work.

This should show you all the possible use flags for any given package:

[root at djali etc]$ emerge -ptv mythtv
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:
 
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] media-tv/mythtv-0.16  +X +alsa -arts -cle266 -debug
-directfb -dvb -lcd +lirc -mmx +nls +nvidia +opengl +oss +xv 13,181 kB
