So, after my f*ckup, here are the steps to build mythtv-0.22 on freebsd (
mine was 7.2 ) for use with pvrxxx driver.

1. Download source tarball from www.mythtv.org
2. Extract
3. Edit configure, remove "disable ivtv" from freebsd specific section (
search for 'freebsd' )
4. Run configure with "--disable-dvb --prefix=/usr/local
--extra-cflags=-I/usr/local/include
--extra-ldflags=-L/usr/local/lib --enable-ivtv --disable-directfb". although
i believe the "disable-directfb" is not necessary.
5. edit mpeg2fix.cpp ( find . -name mpeg2fix.cpp ). add "#include
<sys/stat.h>"
6. edit videoout_ivtv.cpp ( find . -name videoout_ivtv.cpp ) replace
"#include <linux/fb.h>" with:

"
// Linux headers
#ifdef __LINUX__
#include <linux/fb.h>
#else
typedef struct fb_var_screeninfo { int
xres,yres,bits_per_pixel,xres_virtual,yres_virtual,xoffset,yoffset,nonstd,activate;
} ;
typedef struct fb_fix_screeninfo { int smem_start; };
#define FBIOPAN_DISPLAY 0
#define FBIOBLANK 0
#define FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO 0
#define VESA_VSYNC_SUSPEND 0
#define FB_ACTIVATE_NOW 0
#define FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO 0
#define VESA_NO_BLANKING 0
#define FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO 0
#endif
"

Bernhard: Thank you very much for keeping a mythtv-port up-to-date.  Will
you submit it to the FreeBSD project?

Would you care to include step 6 into your port? it makes it possible to run
on pvrxxx-cards using the ivtv interface ( --enable-ivtv ).

It is my intent to push as much freebsd-patches upstream to the mythtv
project, so "porting" every release takes less effort. I have already done
so with earlier releases, and it has certainly paid off. The MythTV project
is receptive to platform-related patches.

As of .22 I can think of 2 patches to request to the MythTV project:
 1. the #include fix for mpeg2fix.cpp
 2. the fix in step 6. to make ivtv compile

Do you have any more suggestions?
