i'm running KM R5F1 on a PVR350-equipped small form factor pc; the PVR350 does TV out, so i am not dependent on output from the on-board graphics card -- which happens to be an nVidia implementation.



on to my problem... when i follow the instructions in
http://www.mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=16178

namely,


i get an error during make, namely "undefined reference to `glXGetProcAddress'", i.e.


a little googling(*) turns up that this is a result of a coherency issue between mythtv sources and the nVidia header files -- others have seen it and some have solved it. apparently, by updating nVidia drivers coincident with mythtv changes, these types of issues can be resolved. however...

note from the first paragraph in this post that i don't use the nVidia card for anything mythtv-related. in fact, my mythtv box runs headless, w/o anything whatsoever connected to the DB15/VGA video port.

that said, for a TV-via-PVR350-out system such as i have described, what ./configure options can i/should i delete to completely remove any dependencies on nVidia drivers?

summary: i don't have any need for nVidia output on my mythtv box; what do i delete from the reference ./configure line above to uncouple a mythtv build from nVidia headers?

thanks for any pointers.

try:

./configure --help

It should print out all kinds of good stuff -- maybe you will see what need. For the lazy -- like me - you could pipe the output to less and use "/" to search for nvidia.

Why not just upgrade to R5F27? We put a lot of time and effort into making that a reliable as possible and documenting how to cope with most of the remaining issues you're likely to encounter...

can you do an upgrade with the machine headless?

No, you will need to have to have a monitor and keyboard attached to get through the first part of the upgrade before there is enough of the newer release installed to allow the switch over to the 350 output. Before you remove the monitor, make sure that the 350 output still works after a reboot.

it was a rhetorical question.

hence why i ask how to compile mythtv from source on the box. for .20 fixes as of about two weeks ago, it worked. now, it's broken due to the dependency on the current nVidia libs.
