Information
This is a Tutorial to installing MythTV on a new installed Debian SID Machine.
Getting the necessary Debian Packages
now at first we need the mysql server:
apt-get install mysql-server
now set the mysql root user password
mysqladmin -u root password yourpasswordhere
at next step we need to add 2 more sources to our sources.list
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main deb-src ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main
now we can get the rest of the needed package to build myth via:
apt-get update apt-get build-dep mythtv

Getting MythTV
Now you can get mythtv:
svn co http://cvs.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv
This creates a folder called mythtv where the actual sources are in.
cd mythtv
and compile it with something like:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --arch=athlon-xp --enable-dvb --enable-dvb-eit make make install
The configure line above is only an example. In this example, the installation is configured to be under /usr/local. If you want to put it somewhere else, you can alter the --prefix argument. Run ./configure --help to see what options are available and necessary for you.
Starting MythTV
now you can setup mythbackend via mythtv-setup.
