I have not found a way to do a cross-compile for Mac OS X from Linux. That doesn’t mean it can’t be done, it’s just not something I’ve come across.

Thanks. Do you know if it is possible to cross-compile (i.e., compile on a Linux box, for the Intel Mac)?

That should be a good starting point.

Hi,

I just got a Mac Mini, Intel Core Duo, which I’d like to use with MythTV. I have SVN builds for my backend, and a Buffalo Link Theater and Xbox frontends too. I tried the nightly build from Sniderpad, menus work, but no video. I learned that Sniderpad is PPC only. Any chance you could write a page or throw a link on how to build? I’ve been searching all afternoon with no luck.

Regards,

Rob

mytharchivehelper does not seem to work with this build. “mytharchive helper not found” anyone have any suggestions. i am trying to export video files to from my backend to my macbook pro. Any help would be great.

Ryan:

if you go into ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt, you can change the settings for where it connects, etc. Your connection is currently being attemped to 192.168.2.50.

I appreciate these builds - that’s really kind. I wonder if there is some way to provide some configuration outside of running the binary? The binary hangs on startup for me - attempting to attach to a mysql database. I’ve not run mythfrontend on this mac before and so have no configuration sitting around.

The process is stuck at:

0 0x9001bd7c in connect ()

1 0x005df634 in my_connect ()

2 0x005e2500 in mysqlrealconnect ()

3 0xb227c02c in QMYSQLDriver::open ()

4 0xc6118034 in MSqlDatabase::KickDatabase ()

5 0xc611c250 in MSqlQuery::InitCon ()

6 0xc611cdf8 in MSqlQuery::testDBConnection ()

7 0xc60397b8 in MythContextPrivate::Init ()

8 0xc6039ef8 in MythContext::Init ()

9 0x0000cfc4 in main ()

Relatively confirmed by the console logs:

QSqlQuery::exec: database not open

Hope I didn’t miss an obvious FAQ somewhere.

The PPC version crashes in Panther when trying to change the selection on the front page. I’m afraid my laptop is stuck on 10.3 until I get an ethernet pc card that is supported in Tiger (or better).
