[mythtv-users] Compiling MythTV on a computer instead of the Xbox

[Monkey Pet]

More info about what i have found out:
1.  I am able to compile mythfrontend 0.20 and run it fine.
2.  I am able to compile 0.21 only when issuing --disable-mmx,
compiles fine, but segfaults immediately after running mythfrontend, i
see the following in gdb, and have no clue on how to debug it.
3.  I am thinking of upgrading to etch and try to recompile it again.
Hopefully, someone can point me in the right direction, I have no idea
at this point.
