I can see quite a large problem, unfortunately (And being a former
Amiga owner and fanatic, it's a little dissapointing).

I don't believe QT is available for AmigaOS, which means that
compiling Myth is going to be virtually impossible.

However, the latest Amiga boards (Like the Pegasos) can run PPC Linux,
and as Myth will compile under OSX (Which is NetBSD on PPC), it may be
possible to compile Myth. But that would be running on Linux/PPC, not
AmigaOS or MorphOS.

Sorry.

[mythtv-users] Myth on Amiga

2005-06-27 Thread flim
Just out of curiosity, can anyone see any problems with compiling Myth to  
run on Amiga?


I've been thinking about getting an Amiga for quite some time now, due to  
their superior multimedia capabilities.  If it helps, the current Amiga  
systems run on, essentially, a slightly modified PowerMac.  Presumably,  
compiling Myth for the PPC architecture wouldn't be a problem, so I can't  
really see why it wouldn't work, but I don't want to start trying to get  
it to work if there's a fundamental problem - like if a required  
dependency won't run on Amiga OS 3.9/4.0...


Cheers,


flim.
