There's now an ansible script to help reduce all of those yeses.  It should
work but will need one patch file in its current state. Just let me know if
you go that route.  Here's what you'll need to do for ansible (besides the
patch...).

sudo port -v selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated

sudo port install py38-ansible

sudo ansible-playbook-3.8 -i hosts.macports qt5.yml


Also, the build script is updated here in the second post (I had some
errors in the older versions):

What version of QT and Xcode are you using?

Can you send out your output from when you run the configure command?  I'll
see if I can find any missing dependencies.

Also, try downloading and running these two .dmg's.  These are the versions
I built off of my VM with a non-case sensitive filesystem with Xcode 10.3
and 10.4.  Maybe one of them will make the black screen go away...

BTW, do you have an old .mythtv directory in your User folders?  If so, it
might be worth archiving it and seeing if the compiled app comes up.

Good luck!!!!
