David, some discussion on your changes:
* I'm trying to build a backend, so that's been enabled in the script.
I suspect that most people will _not_ be building
the backend for a while, so I would like to leave that
default as is. How about a '--enable-backend' flag?
* Many of the SourceForge download addresses in there wouldn't work
for me. I changed the script to use a different mirror
I guess we should have a variable up near the top
to select a particular mirror. I have added:
our $sourceforge = 'http://internap.dl.sf.net'
* FreeType is now at 2.1.10 and you can't get 2.1.9 anymore; updated
Indeed. Will check in that change now.
* As part of one flawed attack at the problem above, I tried it with
QT 4. Its configure options are completely different. I left those
lines in the script, commented out, in case it becomes useful to
someone.
Thanks. It will come in handy.
* After I got the QT mac version test program to compile, it wouldn't
link. Based on
http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2005-05/thread00265-0.html I
added -lobjc to the link line. Since it seemed to have the answers
I also added '-platform macx-g++' to the configure options. I don't
remember offhand whether that addressed a specific obstacle or if I
just went on faith based on that article. I know it was necessary
when I was trying to work with QT4, so it may well have been needed.
That doesn't seem to be needed for a frontend build against
QT/Mac 3.3.4, so I have left it out for now.
* In libexif-0.6.12/libexif/exif-utils.c, line 86, exif_get_sshort is
defined as static after being already declared without; I had to
comment out the 'static' in order to make the compiler happy
* In qt-mac-free-3.3.4/mkspecs/macx-g++/qplatformdefs.h,
#define QT_SOCKLEN_T int
needs to be
#define QT_SOCKLEN_T socklen_t
in order to work with the latest system headers.
Weird. The build just works for me. Are you using a newer GCC?
% gcc --v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)
* Some QT things were failing to find -lXext at link time, and after
mucking about with fink for *way* too long trying to find it (and I
hope I didn't mess up my configuration), I realized it was already
installed. So I added -L/usr/X11R6/lib to qmake_opts and QT got
happier.
That is not a correct fix. The OS X frontend
does not use _any_ X11 code. Nada. Ziltch.
If something is trying to pull in X11 stuff,
then _it_ needs to be fixed.
I will do a --enable-backend build next,
and see if I can reproduce this fault.
Is it possible that you have a Qt/X11 build
(e.g. Fink's) that is somehow being referenced?
* mythtv seems to hardcode the use of distcc into its Makefiles, and
OSX doesn't have a distcc binary available
Hmmm. My 10.3.9 install has it:
% which distcc
/usr/bin/distcc
I am not sure why it is often enabled,
but configure lets you turn this off:
% ./configure --disable-distcc
# Basic Settings
Compile type release
Compiler cache no
DistCC no
...
% head config.mak
# Automatically generated by configure - do not modify
PREFIX=/usr/local
QMAKE_CC=cc
(instead of the default:
% head .osx-packager/src/myth-svn/mythtv/config.mak
# Automatically generated by configure - do not modify
PREFIX=/Volumes/MythOSXbuild/.osx-packager/build
QMAKE_CC=distcc cc
)

Why increase this? The previous size is plenty big enough
for the frontend plus some extra growth (extra plugins, a few
archived copies of the frontend, et cetera). Bigger means that
people need that much extra space on their disks to actually
create the image.
