[mythtv-users] Re: How do I compile mythplugins from source?

[Mark Kundinger]

Okay, I checked, and I do have mythconfig.make in my mythplugins
folder, which is a pointer to /usr/local/bin/mythconfig.mak (which is
where mythtv is installed)

Makefile exists in the mythplugins folder after I run qmake
mythplugins.pro.  Makefile does not exist in any of the subfolders
until I try to compile all the plugins.  Then one is created (probably
right before the error is generated).

It seems like the submakes are either not finding mythconfig.make, or
are looking for mythconfig.make when they shouldn't.

?

Also make sure your appropriate Makefiles exist.
