Building and running MythTV -0.26

Post #1 of 4 (2336 views)

After running Myth 0.26 for a few weeks on my SL6 laptop I thought I
would like to experiment with patches and have tried rebuilding using
Stephen's specfile (posted 2 December) and a new git download. That
worked fine, but afterwards the original installation wouldn't play
properly.

The problem seemed to be that the build required nvidia support and the
video hardware is Intel. Playback worked again after removing the
nvidia packages. I tried disabling some nvidia options in the specfile
but the build cleaned itself away near the end, leaving nothing.

I could install nvidia, build, remove nvidia, but feel there ought to be
a better way. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Paulo. I'll look into it.
