I ended up with a mythtvbackend.app, which I suppose needs to be

        I will look at adding that to the script.
(but then there are all the other programs, too)

        An easy test hack is to just symlink the relevant
libraries into the current directory:

cd .osx-packager/src/myth-svn/mythtv/programs/mythbackend
ln -s ../../../../../build/lib/*
ln -s ../../libs/lib*/*.dylib .
mythbackend.app/Contents/MacOS/mythbeckend

that's apparently revealed by install_name_tool:

  [osx-pkg] Writing Info.plist for myth framework

  [osx-pkg] Parsing myth
  [osx-pkg] Could not parse library file name myth

  [osx-pkg] Parsing libqt-mt.3.dylib

  Died at ./osx-packager.pl line 1031.

I'm not sure if that's deep, or ignorable.

That's good to know. I'm not sure if that's going to cure the problem [osx-pkg] Processing shared library dependencies for /Users/dave/ myth/MythBackend.app/Contents/Frameworks/myth.framework/Versions/A/ myth [osx-pkg] Parsing /Users/dave/myth/MythBackend.app/Contents/ Frameworks/myth.framework/Versions/A/myth [osx-pkg] Could not parse library file name /Users/dave/myth/ MythBackend.app/Contents/Frameworks/myth.framework/Versions/A/myth [osx-pkg] /usr/bin/install_name_tool -change myth @executable_path/../Frameworks/myth.framework/myth /Users/dave/ myth/MythBackend.app/Contents/Frameworks/myth.framework/Versions/A/ myth [osx-pkg] /usr/bin/install_name_tool -change libqt-mt.3.dylib @executable_path/../Frameworks/qt-mt.framework/qt-mt /Users/dave/ myth/MythBackend.app/Contents/Frameworks/myth.framework/Versions/A/ myth [osx-pkg] Could not find @executable_path/../Frameworks/qt- mt.framework/qt-mt

FWIW, I got past this by commenting out the line that calls
MakePackage for MythFrontend, on the hunch that somehow the libraries
needed by the backend were getting "renamed out of the way."  It's
probably misguided, of course; I'm just grabbing at straws.

The resulting backend executable launches and then apparently just
exits.  On the other hand, maybe I really need to run it from within a
terminal to see what it's doing.

/Applications/Utilities/Console.app

All output is directed here when launched by double clicking.
