A note on building under Mandrake9.0..

Just a word of advice to anyone who's getting grief building under
Mandrake 9.0.. The CVS makefiles that come with mythtv seem to have gcc
and g++ hard-coded, which then tries to link using g++ 2.96..

Unfortunately, this causes an incompatibility with libqt3, which is
built using gcc/g++ 3.2. The makefiles need to be modified:

CC = gcc-3.2
CXX = g++-3.2
LINK = g++-3.2

Normally this would've been taken care of using automake/autoconf, but
mythtv doesn't use those, so manual changes are necessary. If you get
some compiler errors having to do with undefined references
"QApplication", "QString", etc... then that's why.

I learned the hard way, so I thought I'd share..

Cheers,
Aaron C:\STEWART>

I stand corrected.. qmake was referencing an incorrect mkspec.

Cheers,

What does a failure look like? I got it to compile on Mandrake 9.0 but it
doesn't run.

Uh, what makefiles? CVS contains _no_ makefiles aside from top level ones,
which have absolutely no information about gcc, etc. The rest of the
makefiles are generated at build time by qmake. So, if they have incorrect
information in them, complain to Mandrake about their broken packages.
