[mythtv-users] Mythtv, Gentoo, DVB and 2.6.28 kernel not compiling

[Wayne Mitchell]

JK,

Yes. Exactly the same problem here. I am sure that there is a more elegant
solution but the hack I do is:

1) Start the emerge and hit Ctrl-Z once everything is unpacked and
compilation begins.
2) vim
/var/tmp/portage/media-tv/mythtv-0.21_p19046/work/mythtv-0.21/libs/libmythtv
/dvbtypes.h (replace vim with your favourite editor).
3) Line 22 I change to: #if (DVB_API_VERSION < 3)
4) Line 30 I change to: #if (DVB_API_VERSION >= 3)
5) Save the file and then type fg (enter).

Myth should now finish compiling OK. I believe the actual API version is 5.0
so these checks seem a bit outdated.

Hope this helps.

Wayne
