Build it
To build it, find out your distribution and proceed accordingly:
SUSE
yast -i make automake autoconf gcc-c++ gtk2-devel ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make -j8 && make install
Scan for channels
To scan for channels, open a console and enter
scantv
xawtv 3 stores the channel list under .tv, for xawtv 4 it is not so easy to predict where the channel list will be stored, e.g. it can be under /usr/local/share/xawtv. To find out where the channel list is stored run
strace -e open scantv
