[mythtv] [RFC v2] New Win32 build script

[Dan Wilson]

Trying again with your newest script on Fedora 14 32-bit. I'm also 
downloading ubuntu 10.10 32-bit. I will install that into another vm and 
try this operation there as a control case.

The script fails to find the float.h file. The reason for that failure 
is the i686-pc-mingw32 case of $xprefix. path2 is incorrect for 32-bit 
Fedora - the path used is for 64-bit Fedora. 32-bit Fedora puts the 
files in /usr/lib/gcc, not /usr/lib64/gcc. Perhaps you should detect 32 
vs. 64-bit hosts by parsing uname output?

I manually changed path2 for now, then checked the actual float.h file.  
There was a float.h.orig file there, so I moved it back to float.h to 
ensure that it would actually have to perform the patch.  It succeeded.

When I re-execute mythbuild.sh, however, the script complains that 
float.h still needs to be patched.  If I allow it to try, it reports 
that the patch has already been applied.

libxml2 still fails to compile, as expected.  I've commented it out and 
am trying again.

libcdio build failed, unable to find libcdio-0.82/lib/iso9660/.libs/rock.o
I found that file in the iso9660 directory itself, and copied it to the 
.libs directory. libcdio proceeded to complete it's build.

As an aside, it would be great if the script had another command-line 
argument specifying how long the timeout should be on the "do you want 
to build this subsystem" prompt. It is 60 seconds now, and for me, that 
is a needless delay most times - if it needs to build something, I want 
it to build it, so being able to specify a zero or one second timeout 
would be great, and would save at least a few minutes over the course of 
a full build if I happen not to be looking at it each time it hits the 
prompt....

Also, if you'd like a fedora 14 virtual machine to experiment with, I 
can build you one and put it somewhere that you can download from. You'd 
need vmware player to use it, but that is a free download from vmware.com.

QT build fails.  It appears it doesn't like the float.h patch:

I can see that both float.h files were changed:
$ pwd
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include

$ diff float.h.orig float.h
20c20
< #include_next<float.h>

$ diff float.h.orig float.h
