	All old-school stuff. Terminal, cvs, vi, make, vi.
gdb if you are lucky :-)

	Using an IDE is possible, but high maintenance.
The code turnover of MythTV is very high. New source
files are added, and DEFINES or compile flags changed,
often. Each of these changes would need to be tracked
and also implemented in the .xcode or CW project file.
Not worth my time.

	I haven't heard of anyone trying to use CW,
but you don't need to use an IDE to compile Qt.
You would build it as per the instructions
(untar, cd, configure, make), and then make its
headers and libraries available for your CW project.
