Useful Commands

mdinfo 
Mac equivalent to locate (since it seems locatedb isn't periodically updated for OS X)

Installing from the command line

  • hdiutil attach file.dmg
  • cd /Volumes/mount/
  • sudo installer -pkg install.pkg -target "/"

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

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
