I'd like to compile/install ultrastar-ng on my R5F27 box. According to the sourceforge page for ultrastar-ng, debian systems will require the following packages: Code: apt-get install build-essential libsdl1.2-dev libcairo2-dev librsvg2-dev libasound2-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libxml2-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-serialization-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-regex-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libmagick++9-dev gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 subversion help2man .
I just wanna make sure none of these will conflict the functioning of mythtv and was hoping someone knowledgeable could take a quick look at this list and lemme know. Thanks! |

My understanding... Most of those are *-dev packages so they only get used to compile things. They will not be otherwise used by your KM system. Two questions come to my mind: - It may ask you to upgrade other packages too. That is the potentially dangerous part. - Will the '*-dev' package match the '*' package version? It probably needs to or you will have problems. You may have to force it to use an older *-dev version or (potentially dangerous) upgrade the * package to a newer version. The '-s' option for apt-get will tell it to simulate; i.e. just make a dry run to let you view the messages. I would start with that to make sure it doesn't want to upgrade something important. I would back up my root partition onto say a dvd or my /myth partition before doing this if it looks dangerous. Restore it later (with no recordings in the mean time) to fix it. I am making a wild guess that something like: Code: sync would allow you to restore with a similar dd command. This
dd bs=1M if=/dev/hda1 of=/myth/hda1.dd.backup assumes your root is on /dev/hda1 Cliff |

graysky First I would install Synaptic Package Manager this is a graphical interface front end for apt-get. It will give you information about your packages and dependency's that is very hard to get else where. I have installed this on every system since version 4 and never roached a system. What you choose to install with it could. # apt-get update # apt-get install synaptic There will be a link put on your desktop menu system. location has changed from R27 to RC5.5 . Use the properties button and check dependency's on each package. If you install one package at a time, after you mark it it will tell you what it is going to do. The few packages i have checked below there is a lot of removing and replacing with other packages going on. I checked your list against RC5.5 and this is what I have using default repositories settings. libsdl1.2-dev......................................Installed libcairo2-dev......................................Installed librsvg2-dev.......................................Not installed but available libasound2-dev...................................Installed libgstreamer0.10-dev..........................Not installed but available libxml2-dev........................................Installed libboost-thread-dev.............................Not installed but available libboost-serialization-dev......................Not installed but available libboost-program-options-dev...............Not installed but available libboost-regex-dev...............................Not installed but available libavcodec-dev....................................Not installed but available libavformat-dev..................................Not installed but available libswscale-dev....................................Not installed but available libmagick++9-dev...............................Not installed but available gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3................Not installed but available subversion.........................................Not installed but available help2man...........................................Not installed but available I would get a old hard drive and install KM for testing. The likelihood of problems is high. The only way you are going to know is try. TVBox |

Thanks for the info, guys... sounds like this would be more trouble than it's worth. |
