win32packager mythplugins make install installs dlls in the wrong location

[Jonathan Martens <jonathan@…>]

It seems that the DLLs installed by the make install command in the win32-packager script are installed in the wronf folder, the installation puts them in:

$build/bin/mythtv/plugins

but they are not picked up by mythfrontend when they are located there, where if you copy them to

$build/share/mythtv/plugins

they are picked up by mythfrontend and displayed in the menus.

Corresponding fix for win32_packager.pl

[Jeff Lu <jll544@…>]

I've attached two patches to fix this problem: 5993_plugins.patch - fix plugin install dir and mythvideo naming for win32 5993_packager.patch - corresponding change to win32_packager script

The change to win32-packager.pl seems correct, but is reverting part of one of David's old patches [18464].

The targetdep.pro one will work, but is a little fragile. It would be better to use a different variable name (e.g. SHARELIBDIR for the installs, or LIBDEPS for the dependencies). I will try to do some testing.

I don't understand the need for the mythvideo.pro one?

[Jeff Lu <jll544@…>]

mythvideo.pro fix is just to get the file named correctly... Currently, the mythvideo plugin is built as mythvideo.dll, which is not recognized by win32 frontend. The libs-targetfix.pro include sets the name to libmythvideo.dll

All of the other plugins already have libs-targetfix.pro included in their respective .pro files; it seems mythvideo was missed when these includes went in.

Nigel, these both look OK to me, and seems a better long-term solution than what I originally presented in [18474], so long as it worked in practice. ( I have not tried it). - David/Buzz.
