Fedora 8 - Package Dependencies

Outdated: The information on this page may no longer be relevant to the current release of MythTV, 35.0. Please consider helping to update it. This page was last modified on 2010-01-05.

I was going to write an article, but I already had a script, so I just cleaned it up, instead.

Updated 2008-08-25 to adjust for changes in SNV trunk, and fedora. This should work for Fedora 9 without too many changes, but NOTE: 'qt4' is now just 'qt' and 'qt' is 'qt3'.

Further updated 2008-09-25. There have been further changes to SVN for MythWeb. If configure throws an error referring to missing Qt_WebKit headers then you need the new package. The new package is, of course, called WebKit-qt and is available in Fedora 8 updates, and is standard in Fedora 9. Updated or recent versions of other packages are also needed. The repo is at http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/8/i386.newkey/.

The updated packages are:

 WebKit-qt
 WebKit-qt-devel
 boost
 boost-devel
 gperf
 libicu
 libicu-devel
 libxslt
 libxslt-devel

#*********************************************
# Quick dependency fulfillment script for mythtv for *FEDORA 8*
# NOTE: Package names are different for Fedora 9: generally 'qt' becomes 'qt-3' and 'qt4' becomes 'qt'.
# For SVN trunk (using qt4) plus mytharchive and mythdvd plugins (plus some extras)
# May not include all of the requirements for other plugins, although mytharchive, mythvideo and mythmusic should be covered 
# Now includes WebKit to avoid a 'configure' failure (from about SVN 18300 or so).
# If configure fails with an error '...QtWebKit headers not found'
# then change lines 2678-9 from:
# #
# check_header QtWebKit/QWebView -I/usr/include/qt4 -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtWebKit
# disabled QtWebKit_QWebView && echo "Warning! QtWebkit headers not found, MythBrowser will not work."
# to
# check_header QtWebKit -I/usr/include/QtWebKit  -I/usr/include/qt4 -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtWebKit
# disabled QtWebKit && echo "Warning! QtWebkit headers not found, MythBrowser will not work."
#
# and change all references to "QtWebKit_QWebView" to "QtWebKit" (there is one reference at about line 1060)
# #
#  Uses the atrpms and livna repos and assumes those repos are installed in /etc/yum.repos.d
#
#  Assumes you need ivtv, lirc and firewire: DOES NOT SET THEM UP!
#  Presumes you are starting from a 'bare metal' install of Fedora 8
#  and adds necessary headers and libraries.
#
#  Can be run multiple times without problem.
#  Presumes that your yum fedora.repo points to ' ../releases/8/Everything/i386/os/packages'
#  and '....fedora/updates/8/i386.newkey/'

#  Presumes that you have *already* run 'yum -y update' following the base install
#  Presumes that you have *already* run 'yum -y update' after the base install
#  Where a library is required, you will also require the '*-devel' rpm.
#
#  WARNING:  This setup prefers atrpms over fedora for libraries.
#  WARNING:  Needed only for compiling myth from source!
#  WARNING   You have rebooted after the update?
