Myth on Mac - Historical Build status

This document is intended to capture the build status of outdated MythTV versions.

MythTV 0.15.1, 0.16

Nigel has a tarball of those source trees that used to compile on 10.2 and 10.3 machines (of course, PowerPC only). 10.2 also required dlcompat to be installed. (rough 10.2 build instructions here)

MythTV 0.17, 0.18, 0.19

0.17 was the first release to compile “out of the box” on a Mac. Nigel thinks these were 10.3 only.

MythTV 0.20

The first release to compile on an Intel Mac. The Myth_on_Mac_x86 page lists many of the historical gorey details involved in getting there.

MythTV 0.21 (and -fixes)

OS	Arch.	XCode rev.	GIT rev.	Status
10.3.9	PPC G3	???	v0.21-9-gf91d914	working?
10.3.9	PPC G4	1.5	v0.21-9-gf91d914	working?
10.3.9	PPC G4	1.5	v0.21-281-g43776c3	Packager fails to build libfaad. Comment faad out of everywhere, and the build finishes, but gives a memory fault (in QString constructor) when running.
10.4.11	Intel	???	v0.21-272-g9d25ba1, v0.21-283-g9e956af	Working

MythTV 0.22 (and -fixes)

OS	Arch.	XCode rev.	GIT rev.	Status
10.3.9	PPC G4	1.1 or 1.5	v0.22-rc1-44-g53fa257	faad2 will not build, Qt 4.4 will not build, MythTV will probably not build
10.4.11	Intel Core Duo	2.5	v0.22	Silently fails to write a Makefile
10.5.6	Intel Core 2 Duo	3.1.1	???	Working?
10.6.1	Intel Core Duo	3.2	???	Not building (*_mmx.c compile errors - not enough registers, probably a compiler bug). Need to force 32-bit #7519.
