mythtv 0.24-rc will not compile with gcc 4.7

Anyone have any luck compiling myth with gcc 4.7? I just upgraded and
everything seems to be broken. First it was ffmeg where h264_qpel_mmx.c
needs to be patched, which I managed to fix. Now I'm stuck on compat.h
in libmythbase. Nothing seem to be picking up unistd.h from compat.h.
Everything which requires a function from unistd.h fails. When I add
unistd.h directly to the .cpp file, it compiles fine. What am I missing
here?

After a few hours bastardizing the source code, I only needed to add
unistd.h to few header files. I have patches available if anyone is
interested. Since there is a lack of response, it seem not many people
are on 4.7.

I would suggest making patch files and creating a trac ticket. Right
now, most of the development effort is on getting this release out,
but shortly after release, I'm sure it will get looked at.

I submitted a patch for this recently and it was more or less accepted.

What do you mean by 0.24-rc? If you mean 0.24 release candidate, that
would be pretty old I don't think would get backported fixes. Why not
run the latest 0.24/fixes?

Pretty sure he meant 0.25-rc. Also, please note that any hacks in ffmpeg
code will be superceded by the ffmpeg sync shortly after 0.25 release.

I build MiniMyth with gcc 4.7.

The patch I created for MythTV 0.25-RC1 is here
<http://code.google.com/p/minimyth/source/browse/trunk/gar-minimyth/script/myth-master/mythtv/files/mythtv-master-gcc_4.7.patch>.
As MiniMyth supports back to MythTV 0.22, the tree contains patches for
MythTV 0.22, 0.23 and 0.24 as well.

None of the changes impact the embedded ffmpeg files. ffmpeg does not
require any patching to build with gcc 4.7.

The embedded ffmpeg does need patching. The patch has been submitted
upstream and should be included when ffmpeg is synced.

What is the patch? I have not needed a patch for MiniMyth.

I was told that the latest git master FFmpeg (and/or the libav
fork, should mythtv move to that library) already have the
needed patches for the changes in gcc 4.7 (although FFmpeg
did provide the initial test case for a compiler bug in gcc that
was fixed just a few weeks ago in gcc).

That all said, there is a wide range of apps that have older
FFmpeg source (and other sources) that have been experiencing
"opportunities" with gcc 4.7. As Richard indicated, with
Fedora 17 defaulting to gcc 4.7, a lot of packagers and
upstream packages have gotten the word, but it takes
time with some of the less actively maintained packages
out there to see an official new release.
