[mythtv-users] Building using CMake??

[James Abernathy]

So I couldn't find anything interesting to read today so I read Mythtv/
README.CMake.md.  I'm guessing that making the move to CMake will make it
easier for developers to support different OSs and platforms.

I decided I'd give it a try on a fresh system, Debian 12 in this case.

So things I found out so far are:

1. You still need the mythtv/ansible for your dependencies.
2. If you use the default CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX your binaries end up in
/usr/local/bin and your libs end up in /usr/local/lib.  However, I had to
give my user write permission to /usr/local to make this happen.  I didn't
want to run the build as sudo, at least I don't think so?
3. I had to run:

sudo /sbin/ldconfig so my libraries would be found in /usr/local/lib.

I tested mythfrontend and it worked.

Any pointers on how to get a better understanding of all this?
