Can't compile MythTV 0.24.2 (tarball) on Fedora 15

Make of MythTV 0.24.2 from the tarball fails on the link of libmythtv with:

tv_play.o: file not recognized: File truncated

The file is present but has zero length. Compilation of tv_play.cpp
shows no errors or warnings. In fact there appear to be several
zero-length object files in the libs/libmythtv directory. tv_play.o is
probably the first one which appears in the link list.

Any ideas on why I would get zero-length object files without any
compiler errors?

I had no problems with 0.24.1.

Mike

You are probably using ccache and the cache is corrupted.

Try this:
make distclean
ccache -C
./configure --prev
nice make -j2 -k

Ah, Thanks! I was not aware of ccache; I will get educated.

Now I can't get MythPlugins to build because the QT kit has its headers
in a bunch of subdirectories to /usr/include and the make does not know
how to find them. Is there a way to get these directories added to the
-I option of the compiles? I see references to QT-SUBDIRS but I have
not figured out how it works.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. There are some things I would like
to work on but MythTV is a very intimidating project! It is not easy to
figure out how it all fits together.

Another option would be to use the SRPM from RPM Fusion that I
maintain. Unfortuantly I'm having a problem with the builder and I
can't build for F15 due to configure not finding a perl module that's
actually installed, but that's another story...

Using the SRPM would do two things for you.

1. Show you all the various build options it uses
2. Give you a group of RPMs that install and setup a lot of things for
you (mythweb being one of them, also a sysv init script for F15 and I
think a systemd service file starting with F16...
