From start to finish without a hitch. Thankyou.

In case anyone refers to this mail in the archives:

If you need get an install.app from apple. All the other installs I could source failed.
I needed a High Sierra install and the only way I could get apple to give me that was to use a machine pegged at High Sierra eg iMac27 2011 and download from their developer site (google)

Install on a VM. I found parallels to be faster than vbox.

Install macports
Install Xcode as per the doco for macports

Sync to github (google)

Run John's compileMythtvAnsible.zsh (todays, 22 Dec 2022, worked)
I have apple Xcode and High Sierra Install. They are over 10G so it'll be messy to share.

Dealing with apple changes with time, I can't see THIS way changing, but you may need to spelunk
