me-tv / dvb-apps - /usr/lib/libdvbapi.a clash

[Michael Lamothe]

Hi Mark,

I've put a new version of Me TV up on mentors which is awaiting my
uploader (pkern) to check.

To answer your other question, yes, Me TV did include a copy of the
dvb-apps source, I've now removed that code and am linking to the
libraries provided by your new dvb-apps package.  I'm a bit confused
however, the new package seems to provide the libraries and the
headers, so why would you need a -dev for it?  Also, I had to link
directly to the library files because I could not find pkg-config
details for dvb-apps.  I'm not sure if that's the right way to do it,
I'm new at this.

BTW, the last time I looked, kaffeine was doing exactly the same thing
i.e. linking in a copy of dvb-apps.  If you haven't done already you
might want to speak to hftom (upstream) about that.

I hope that I haven't missed the freeze.

Thanks,

Michael
