The reason nobody has complied with his request is because it would
not be productive.  There are much better ways to install or compile
mythtv then manually installing dependencies.  Which he is asking for
instructions to do.  Best way forward is to use apt to install mythtv
dependencies like other people have suggested in this thread.  The
developers of apt designed a very powerful system.  Use it.

Now installing or compiling stuff for windows?  That is a pain in the
ass and does require a wiki article explaining how to manually install
20+ dependencies.
