Just worked for me, on Gentoo ... though I'm running
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64
(if you're running a stable branch, perhaps it's got
too old a version of autoconf or automake ...)

Also, make sure you do not have WANT_AUTOCONF or WANT_AUTOMAKE
set in your environment, as it will use something other than
default if you do, which might be buggy...

These are the steps I took:

# emerge libieee1394
# emerge subversion
# svn checkout svn://svn.linux1394.org/libiec61883/trunk/ libiec61883
# cd libiec61883
# unset WANT_AUTOCONF
# unset WANT_AUTOMAKE
# ./autogen.sh
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
# make install

Then don't forget to add 'firewire' to your USE flags before
emerging mythtv, otherwise it won't have firewire support.

I did emerge libraw1394 1.1.0 and downloaded and built the latest libiec61883 as well.


By saying that you emerged libraw1394, I assume you're using Gentoo.  So am
I, and I've run into a problem building libiec61883.  There's no ebuild for
it, so I fetched a tarball from http://www.linux1394.org/viewcvs/libiec61883/
and tried running autoconf on that.  I keep running into errors, though:

configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:5: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER
configure.ac:8: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL

I let "emerge autoconf automake" pull in several different versions of each,
but even after that, I'm still running into trouble.  How did you get the
build to work?  Does autoconf need some options passed to it?  I just picked
up an SA3250 this afternoon, and I'd like to see if the FireWire outputs on
it work.
