In order to compile mythtv, I needed to resolve many of the dependencies myself. To help someone else, who may need to do something similar, I'm writing these notes.
I was able to use "yum" to install some of the packages; others I needed to compile. I kind of thrashed around trying to resolve dependencies. I believe that if you use the order below, it may work. It took me sometime to get mythbackend and mythweb to work, so I will not repeat it to test the procedure below. Take it for what it's worth.
First, the packages that yum should find for fc7:
libdrm-devel-2.3.0-5.fc7
libXt-devel-1.0.4-1.fc7
libSM-devel-1.0.2-1
libICE-devel-1.0.3-2.1.fc7
libxkbfile-devel-1.0.4-1.fc7
libfontenc-devel-1.0.4-2.fc7
libXfont-devel-1.2.9-3.fc7
libXfont-1.2.9-3.fc7
libXxf86misc-devel-1.0.1-3.1
libXxf86vm-devel-1.0.1-3.1
libXmu-devel-1.0.3-1.fc7
libXaw-devel-1.0.2-8.1
libxkbui-1.0.2-4.1
libxkbui-devel-1.0.2-4.1
git-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
gitk-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
git-gui-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
git-email-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
git-cvs-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
git-arch-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
git-svn-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
git-core-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
perl-Git-1.5.3.3-3.fc7
cvsps-2.1-4.fc6
subversion-perl-1.4.4-1.fc7
tla-1.3.5-4.fc7
libXinerama-devel-1.0.2-1.fc7
python-lxml-1.3.6-1.fc7
perl-Net-UPnP-1.2.1-1.fc7.rf
Also, some for which I could find rpm packages:
libxkbui-devel-1.0.2-4.1.i386.rpm
libxkbui-1.0.2-4.1.i386.rpm
perl-Net-UPnP-1.2.1-1.fc7.rf.noarch.rpm
Next, some compiles that need to be done first:
re2c-0.13.5
lemon.c (Note 2)
Now, you should be able to compile these and then mythtv:
yasm-1.2.0
qt-all-opensource-src-4.5.0
xorg-server-1.3.0.0
mythtv-0.24.2-17 (Note 3)
Finally, you need version 5.3 of PHP to run mythweb 0.24. Compile PHP and mythplugins:
php-5.3.10 (Note 4)
mythplugins-0.24.2
--------
Note 1 -- Of course, the best way to install the newest version of MythTV, is to install the latest version of your favorite linux distribution first. I've used Fedora distros for some time, so I stay with it. With the latest linux distro, you can install MythTV with a package installer such as "yum." Having gone through the pain (see above) of finding and installing/compiling the dependencies myself, I really appreciate yum as never before. :-)
Note 2 -- Lemon ( https://www.sqlite.org/src/doc/trunk/doc/lemon.html) is needed to compile the sqlite extension with PHP. You only need to compile the one source file and put the executable in your PATH. You can find the c file on sqlite.org or here.
Note 3 -- I used "git" to obtain the lastest fixes of mythtv 0.24.2
Note 4 -- It took me a while to determine the necessary PHP extensions to run mythweb 0.24. These confiture options worked for me:
./configure --with-apxs2 \
--with-mysql \
--with-mysqli \
--enable-mysqlnd \
--with-zlib \
--enable-xml
