Description (last modified by )
I did a plain ./configure, qmake and make-> install with mythplugins. Most of them installed correctly, but quite a few did this:
cp -f "mythweather_es.qm" "/share/mythtv/i18n/" cp -f "mythvideo_it.qm" "/share/mythtv/i18n/" cp -f "libmythnews.so" "/lib/mythtv/plugins/libmythnews.so"
Some installed correctly. Parts of mythgallery for example, do this, and other parts install correctly...

I suggest adding text in the README, in the plugins package, that inidicates Myth must be compiled before doing _anything_.
Initially I compiled MythTV, but before I replaced my working/existing Myth, I wanted to make sure the plugins compiled correctly. I was concerned about compiling and installing Myth, then having a problem with the plugins, and then having to revert my Myth install back to a previous version. (NOTE: it would be quite nice if one could verify plugin success before installing Myth).
Anyhow, I read the README, which simply stated that I should simply do a configure followed by a qmake and then make. I did these things, only to find out that there were issues without Myth installed. At that point, I installed my new myth install, and proceeded with mythplugin....
This must be why mythconfig.mak was not there before, or from an older version. I suggest adding anything, something to the README to let users know about this gotcha.
I'm trying a fresh install of plugins, now, from a make distclean perspective. I'll report back...

Yes, the scenario above caused this issue. Plugins installed fine this time around.
Hmmm, I just tried this and it worked for me.
Did you install the same revision of MythTV before running ./configure for the plugins?
When you run "ls -l mythconfig.mak" does it say:
Is that the file just installed by MythTV, or is a link to a prior installation of MythTV elsewhere?
