[mythtv-users] MythTV w/Firewire in Ubuntu

[Adam Propeck]

Here is a copy of my post to the ubuntu forums, but I was refered here. Hope
you all can help me.
-------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to get MythTv installed on Breezy Badger with Firewire support.
I'm using a 6200 STB, and as I've read, this should be easily done. The
"apt-get install mythtv" packages that are installed as per the excellent
Ubuntu/MythTV how-to do not have firewire support built in. I tried
downloading the source for .18.1 of Mythtv, but cannot figure out how to get
the ./configure to show firewire support YES. I have all the 1394 packages
installed from source so that they are the newest, etc.

I also tried installing SVN and pulling down the latest Myth packages from
there. The ./configure works great, and I can set firewire support and other
options easily. However, When I go to compile this, I get a ton of errors.
Evidently the required packages aren't installed by default in Breezy.

I tried to install them as the errors came up, and apt-get'ed about a
hundred million packages. I finally get stuck on one that appears to be xvmc
related even though I've tried the ./configure with and without xvmc
enabled.

I'm going crazy here. Any thoughts on how I could get this running? Anyone
have a precompiled version with FW enabled? Anyone have .19 compiled? What
am I doing wrong? thanks in advance! -Tal
