If you are not familiar with MacPorts, start simple and build the
port in phases.
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/CommittersTipsAndTricks#TestingPortPhases
http://guide.macports.org/#reference.phases
You can work on anywhere convienent if you execute the port commands
from within the directory.
Create a directory somewhere named MythTV:
$ mkdir ~/Desktop/MythTV
$ cd ~/Desktop/MythTV
$ touch Portfile
Edit Portfile adding items 1 thru 13 here:
http://guide.macports.org/#development.introduction
Then test the fetch phase:
$ sudo port -v fetch
Continue on to patch etc...
Thanks, I appreciate the pointers. I take it that it is not
necessary to use SVN, at least to begin with?
BTW, your last comment is about patching--if that is necessary, this
is over! ;) But I know the code builds on OS X so I hope it is just
a case of getting the right configure flags, etc.
