[mythtv-users] Building mythplugins

[Dave Sherohman]

Finally got around to downloading the mythplugins tarball and trying
to set that up, primarily to get MythVideo so I can watch stuff that
didn't come off of cable.  The FAQ is extremely vague about what each
plugin would be used for, but I think I've correctly narrowed it down
to wanting MythWeb (which I assume is what the .configure calls
"mythbrowser" - any chance of getting this name changed so that it's
called the same thing everywhere?), MythGallery, MythVideo, and
MythWeather.  I expected to want MythDVD also, but it appears from
the FAQ that you use MythDVD *only* if you want to rip DVDs, not just
to play them; is this correct?  (Is DVD playback handled by
MythVideo, then?)

Anyhow, I seem to have stumbled across some undocumented
dependencies.  webpage.h in the mythbrowser directory complains that
it can't find kapplication.h, kcmdlineargs.h, klocale.h, kurl.h, or
kparts/browserextension.h.  From the pattern in the filenames, I
would tend to assume that these are from some KDE library or other,
but (as a non-user of KDE (or GNOME, for that matter; a plain old
window manager is all I need)) I have no idea what librar(y|ies) that
would be.  I'm also completely baffled as to why a webpage generator
would be dependent on GUI code (even if it's just for the plugin's
configuration screen, why would it need GUI code that isn't needed by
the host application?), so perhaps I'm wrong and it's not KDE at all.

The full output of make follows, but my basic question is:  What
additional dependencies do I need to install (beyond the apache and
PHP documented in the FAQ) to get this to build?
