[mythtv-users] Mac frontend

[jam at tigger.ws]

My excuse:

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure that you are using the latest
version of MythTV from git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
mythtv-dev at mythtv.org mailing list

After much ado I’m trying to use the osx-packager.pl script to build a frontend.
It is the latest I can find:

#!/usr/bin/perl

All the pre-requisits build (I needed to weed out some dead urls.)

During build:
...
[osx-pkg] Failed system call: " /usr/bin/make distclean " with error code 2

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure that you are using the latest
version of MythTV from git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
mythtv-dev at mythtv.org mailing list or IRC #mythtv on irc.freenode.net
Include the log file "config.ep" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.

Now (at this point) I’m using the ‘copy from Qt5.5' solution for webkit stuff, so errors are not unexpected

but if I cd mythtv/mythtv and cut and paste the config line all works normally and $? == 0 as it should be.

Can any body give me a nudge in the correct direction - thanks
