Ugh, that's bad. Really bad.

And these patches can go anywhere in the file(s)? As long as they are
not in another context (like #if #else #endif for example) of course.

I took the patches verbatim from you mail (see attached files)
but my first try was not very successful:
cd libmyth && make -f Makefile
g++ -c -pipe -I/usr/local/include/artsc -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -g -Wall -W -O3 -pthread -Wall -Wno-switch -fomit-frame-pointer -DPIC -fPIC  -DUSING_FREEBOX -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DPREFIX=\"/usr/local\" -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/local/lib\" -DUSING_OSS -DUSE_ARTS -DUSING_XRANDR -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -DQT_SHARED -DQT_TABLET_SUPPORT -I/usr/local/share/qt/mkspecs/freebsd-g++ -I. -I../../../../../../../local/include -I../../../../../../../X11R6/include -I../libmythsamplerate -I../libmythsoundtouch -I../.. -I.. -I../../../../../../../local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -o lcddevice.o lcddevice.cpp

I will have to look closer at that, perhaps I made a mistake when implementing the patches.

What? sorry, but I'm not very experienced with this sort of thing.
How do I change "threading style"?
