Post subject:  Cable Box Hookup
I had previously used the HowTo in the wiki on setting up my digital cable box with R5A26. I recently upgraded to R5C7 and I'm having trouble figuring it out now :(

http://knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=MotorolaDct2000

The wiki says this about R5B7 (I assume it's the same as for R5C7)
Quote:
In R5B7 the source file is at /usr/src/mythtv/source/mythtv-0.19-fixes.tar.bz2 and the dct-channel is located within the file under contrib/channel_changers/dct-channel.tar.bz2.


I had previously used this recap to get it to work the first time but I'm having trouble with it now.

Code:
mkdir -p /home/mythtv/tmp;
cd /home/mythtv/tmp;
tar xvjf /usr/src/mythtv/source/mythtv-0.18.tar.bz2;
cd /home/mythtv/tmp/mythtv-0.18/contrib/dct-channel;
make clean; make;
cp ./channel /usr/local/bin


I have tried the same thing substituting
Code:
tar xvjf /usr/src/mythtv/source/mythtv-0.18.tar.bz2
for
Code:
tar xvjf /usr/src/mythtv/source/mythtv-0.19-fixes.tar.bz2
It then creates this path after unpacking that I cd into

/home/mythtv/tmp/mythtv/contrib/channel_changers (the file dct-channel.tar.bz2 is there)

I then try the next command
Code:
make clean; make

And I get this as a response
Code:
make: *** No rule to make target `clean'.  Stop.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.


If anybody can point to what I'm doing wrong I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Okay I figured it out....

Code:
mkdir -p /home/mythtv/tmp;
cd /home/mythtv/tmp;
tar xvjf /usr/src/mythtv/source/mythtv-0.19-fixes.tar.bz2;
cd /home/mythtv/tmp/mythtv/contrib/channel_changers;
tar xvjf dct-channel.tar.bz2;
cd /home/mythtv/tmp/mythtv/contrib/channel_changers/dct-channel;
make clean; make;
cp ./channel /usr/local/bin


After going through what I posted I realized dct-channel.tar.bz2 was a compressed file and needed to be uncompressed. After untarring it, finding the new /dct-channel directory and the Makefile in there all became clear (kind of)

Anyway, if someone who knows what they are doing would take a look at that code and make sure it looks correct, I'll add it to the wiki for others to use setting up thier cable boxes.

Thanks!
