I wanted to put this out there... since I solved this.
Calling the plugins make install from the root mythplugins dir did not install the uifiles
I built mythtv and mythplugins from svn and after getting all the build requirements in
order, make and make install went without errors for both mythtv and mythplugins.
When I went to test out the install, I was finding many of the additional plugins where
giving me an error dialog in mythtv when I went into the plugin menu.
with mythzoneminder It was a popup dialog something like
Could not locate 'status_text' in theme ''
there were other plugin menu errors and hangs.
mythweather would actually crash and stop mythtv.
I ending up tracking it down to the fact that the ui menu files and icons for the plugins
were not getting installed????
I Tried remaking and making the makefile manually with
qmake PREFIX=/usr mythplugins.pro
I am building the following plugins:
mythweather, mythnews, mythgallery, mythweb, mythzoneminder.
still no go when I ran make install (as root) from the root of the mythplugins dir.
So after I built the plugins, I had to call the individual install targets explicitly.
_This worked_
[root at dvr mythplugins]$ cd mythzoneminder/mythzoneminder
[root at dvr mythzoneminder]$ make install_target install_menufiles install_uifiles
install_installimages
[root at dvr mythzoneminder]$ cd ../../mythnews/mythnews
[root at dvr mythnews]$ make install_target install_uifiles install_installimages
[root at dvr mythnews]$ cd ../../mythgallery/mythgallery
[root at dvr mythgallery]$ make install_target install_installimages install_uifiles
[root at dvr mythgallery]$ cd ../../mythmusic/mythmusic
[root at dvr mythmusic]$ make install_target install_installfiles install_uifiles
[root at dvr mythmusic]$ cd ../../mythweather/mythweather
[root at dvr mythweather]$ make install_target install_installfiles install_installimages
install_uifiles
[root at dvr mythweather]$ cd ../..
My system is as follows...
FC6 fresh install and updated
this box is also running ZoneMinder
GNU Make 3.81
Myth svn revision 12832
If anyone else has this problem, I hope this helps.
