Information

This is an Tutorial on installing MythTV on a new installed Debian SID Machine.

Getting the nessecary Debian Packages

now at first we need the mysql server:

apt-get install mysql-server

and of course the config of the mysql server in the current sid is also broken we need to fix it. open the my.cnf in /etc/mysql and add a "#" for the following lines:

#old passwords
#bind-address

now edit the debian.cnf and enter a valid mysql root user account.

at next step we need to add 2 more sources to our sources.list

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid  main
deb-srv ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid  main

now we can get the rest of the needed package sto build myth via:

apt-get update
apt-get install subversion subversion-tools kde-base liblame0 liblame-dev libqt3-headers libmysqlclient10-dev libvorbis-dev libartsc0-dev libasound2-dev libqt3-mt-dev libqt3-mt-mysql phpmyadmin xmltv devscripts liblircclient-dev liblircclient0 libdvdnav-dev libflac-dev libmad0-dev libcdaudio0-dev libcdparanoia0-dev libid3tag0-dev fftw-dev libsdl1.2-dev kdelibs4-dev libdvdread3-dev festival-dev festival libxml-simple-perl libdvdcss2 ffmpeg transcode w32codecs xvid4conf avidemux dvdstyler libxinerama-dev libxxf86vm-dev libtiff4-dev

Getting MythTV

Now you can get mythtv:

svn co http://cvs.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv

This creates a folder calld mythtv wher the actual sources are in.

cd mythtv

and compile it via:

 ./configure --prefix=/usr --arch=athlon-xp --enable-dvb --enable-dvb-eit --disable-joystick-menu --disable-ivtv --disable-firewire --disable-audio-arts --disable-audio-jack --dvb-path=/usr/include --enable-opengl-vsync --enable-mp3lame --enable-memalign-hack
make
make install

you can change that configure line, because not all of you have a athlon xp or need no joystick menu...

Starting MythTV

now you can setup mythbackend via mythtv-setup.
