Myth on Mac - Build status
If you are trying to build MythTV from source, you are usually trying to build a frontend to match a Linux backend. This means you need to build a compatible version. e.g. if the backend is MythTV-0.24, then try to build the same Mac frontend version, or maybe the latest version of that source code branch - MythTV-0.24-fixes.
The developers usually keep these branches very stable, so they should build on most Mac OS versions. However, building the latest and greatest - trunk - may be a little more difficult, depending on what changes have been committed recently, and how hostile they are to Mac OS X and Windows.
This document is trying to be a whiteboard of peoples’ building successes and failures.
