Plugin development.

After trying to install the QT eclipse integration in kubuntu and failling I
tried using another solution.
I've installed the QT Creator IDE and tried following the Mythhello plugin
guide ( http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Building_Plugins:HelloMyth
The problem that I'm having is that I can't get the mythhello plugin to
build because it tells me I'm missing some header files.
I installed libmyth-dev using synaptics and still it didn't work.
Has anyone got a solution for me?
How can I get the latest libmyth-dev files, would this be a possible
solution?
By the way I'm using kunbuntu 9.10 and installed mythtv using synaptics so
it must be the latest version(0.22).

Usually doing:

sudo apt-get buid-dep packagename

will install all the dependencies for you.

Pretty sure MythHello is old, pre-mythui code that I would guess
shouldn't compile with 0.22 or higher.

We've had many people volunteer to update it, but no one has done so, yet...

My problem is that I want to start developing in mythtv and I haven't got
any tutorial to help me get started. Is there any way I can get started?

Re: Plugin development. [In reply to]

Look at the code of the existing mythplugins. It is a good example of what
you can do when starting plugin development.

Huge thanks, James. That will make things a lot easier for a lot of
people. And, based on some discussion I overheard in IRC, it seems that
the planned approach for the tutorial is likely to result in fewer new
plugins with old, unnecessary vestiges of MythFlix or MythNews or
whatever plugin was used as a "template" accidentally left behind.

And, uncanny timing on the update, too. :)

Re: Plugin development. [In reply to]

You've said that the code ahs been updated, but I went to the mythtv wiki
page and the code for mythhello is still the same as before.
Where can I find the updated code that you mentioned before?

If this is the page you went to, it is not the same as before.

I've tried to use the changes on the plugin development guide that were
suggested on the wiki.
I used QT Creator as my IDE and when i tried to compile I got the following

Do you link to a compiled installation of MythTV itself? IIRC that is
required.

First of all, please do not top-post and try and cut the post you are
replying to to the relevant sections, makes reading threads much easier.

You need to compile MythTV itself as well, before you can compile the
plugins or install development libraries depending on how you installed
MythTV IIRC.

Kind regards,

Jonathan

Sorry about the toppost, my bad.

No need to.

AFAIK you can do that alongside your installed packages from the repo,
but more easy install the -devel packages from the repositories as I
already suggested.

Have you duplicated the .pro file from the examples or at least used
it as a template? It has a few references like " include (
../../mythconfig.mak )" and "include ( ../../settings.pro )" that are
important. Also, make sure you have installed the -devel packages for
your distribution.

Re: Plugin development. [In reply to]

I have installed all de devel packages for mythtv in the ubuntu repository.
Ive checked out the latest version of mythtv to my home drive.
I've also made the same for the mythplugins and placed them inside the
mythtv.
I've compiled the mythtv instalation and made some changes on to the code
regarding the " include (
../../mythconfig.mak )" and "include ( ../../settings.pro )"
Now I have it like this "include ( /home/zbenta/mythtv/config.mak )
include ( /home/zbenta/mythtv/settings.pro )".
Ive replaced the "mythconfig.mak" for "config.mak" because that is what I
see in my mythtv directory, as for the rest I've written the full path for
each of the includes.
After having tried to compile the mythhello plugin I get the following:

zbenta [at] death-sta:~/mythtv/mythplugins/mythhello$ sudo make

Re: Plugin development. [In reply to]

I believe that my problem has something to do with paths.
I've edited all the includes on the mythhello plugin and added the full path
for each header file.
Can anyone give me a hand on how to define the path for the libs in mythtv?

I've compiled the plugin with all my changes and now would like to add it to
the menu on mythtv.
I've followed the tutorial but it doesn't appear on the menu.

I'm not sure how things are set up for ubuntu, but in Fedora, I've got
a copy of mythconfig.mak in /usr/include/mythtv and in my copy of the
source. My guess is that the "config.mak" file in your
/home/zbenta/mythtv/ directory is **NOT** the same file. My
suggestion would be:

1) download the source from www.mythtv.org for **BOTH** mythtv and the plugins
2) go to your copy of the source and run the configure script with
whatever you need for parameters (e.g., for building on Fedora, one
wants to install to /usr so I usually use --prefix=/usr, but there are
other things as well, type ./configure --help for a list). You will
need to run the configure scripts in both the mythtv and mythplugins
directories (I think).
3) You DO NOT need to compile mythtv -- only run the configure scripts.
4) Move your source tree for the mythhello plugin into the plugin directory
5) change back to using ../../mythconfig.mak and /../../settings.pro
in your .pro file
6) qmake-qt4 -recursive
7) make
8) see what happens.

Have you install the mythdev libraries?, e.g

sudo apt-get install libmyth-dev

That was all I needed to build plugins.

Are you building within QtCreator or are you building from a terminal
window? QtCreator (I believe) sets a bunch of environmental variables
that might be causing interference. If not, and you are building from
a terminal window, I'm at a loss. Sorry.

Re: Plugin development. [In reply to]

I've followed your directions and tried it both ways.
The result as been the same.
I've sucessfully managed to compile the mythhello plugin, but for that I had
to give the full path for each of the header files within the code.
I didn't knew how to fix it, so I located all the headers that are mentioned
on the code and replaced for example:

"#include <mythcontext.h>"

for

"#include </home/zbenta/mythtv/libs/libmyth/mythcontext.h>"

and got no errors while compiling.
This is one thing that I would like to solve, or else I will have to write
the full path for each header when I'm developing.

The other problem that I'm having now is that after having compiled the
mythhello plugin, i cant seem to add it to mythtv, I've followed the
tutorial but the button doesn't appear in the mythfrontend.

Best regards,
Zacarias Benta
