Ok, so the latest version of MythWeather in gentoo as of this date is still having issues because the data from the weather info provider changed in format. So, I decided to grab the latest from MythTV - apparently the mythweather-revamp work has replaced the broken older version of MythWeather.

So grab the latest plugin from mythtv.org's svn repository: (I put mine in the directory mythtrunk-2007-07-22)

# svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythplugins/ mythtrunk-2007-07-22
[snip]
Checked out revision 14027.

change into that new directory:

# cd mythtrunk-2007-07-22/

then configure according to instructions at:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Using_mythweather-reavmp_with_trunk_mythtv

# ./configure --disable-all --enable-mythweather --prefix=/usr

then compile the program:

# make
cd mythweather && /usr/bin/qmake mythweather.pro -unix -o Makefile
cd mythweather && make -f Makefile
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/mythweather-revamp/weather/mythtrunk-2007-07-22/mythweather'

ARGH! >:( errors - typical but luckily (?) I've seen this recently - when I installed the unsupported MythStream plugin - the issue is my gentoo MythTV box has both QT4 and QT3 installed - MythTV wants QT3 and QT4 is coming up.

First, clean up install files that contain the wrong config data:

# make clean

then move the (or delete) then old Makefile as it contains incorrect paths:

# mv Makefile Makefile.old

Now we need to set the qt3 bin path in front of all others:

# PATH="/usr/qt/3/bin/:$PATH"

as well, we'll need to set the "QTDIR" environment directory, then configure again:

# QTDIR=/usr/qt/3/; export QTDIR; ./configure --disable-all --enable-mythweather --prefix=/usr

now when we 'make' it should have the right values:

# make

have a look at the new improved Makefile to be certain:

# less Makefile

no luck - hmmm well let's delete the directory and start fresh with properly set values ...

# rm -rf mythweather

grab again from svn - will be fast as we're only grabbing MythWeather ...

# svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythplugins/mythweather mythweather

Ok that started to compile ok and then fizzled - looked up issue it seems I'll have to compile the whole trunk - sigh ... another day

# less Makefile
