Compiling mythtv
At the time of writing the current (14660) revision of mythtv does not build for Mac OS X. One working build is 14225. To build this:
NB. Ensure you don't have xmms or xmms-shlibs installed via fink/apt-get
- svn co -r 14225 http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv/contrib/OSX mythtv-14225
- cd mythtv-14225
- ./osx-packager.pl -svnrev 14225
Alternatively, to fix the latest version for an Intel Mac:
- svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv/contrib/OSX mythtv
- cd mythtv
- Add "'--arch=pentium4'," to the mythtv args list around line 488 of osx-packager.pl
- ./osx-packager.pl
- You'll get an "ERROR: CPU specific ./configure options failed compile test" warning when osx-packager runs configure for mythtv, but this can be ignored
