[ubuntu-mythtv] How to compile

[Gunnar Strand]

You are of course right, Thomas. I am not trying to change the port, I am
trying to determine why mtythtv does not listen on the port. Well, shame on
me for not making proper log search, I now found that there is an error
which looks like this:

2011-09-09 20:49:29.279 ERROR: Master backend tried to connect back to
itself!

This led me to install the "mythtv-dbg" package:

http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2009-November/272651.html

which apparently includes debug symbols. This will hopefully let me do some
more investigation into the port listening issue.
