Comment (by dreamcat4 <dreamcat4@…>):

 This is an issue for FreeBSD users, since on FreeBSD platform LAME is
 marked as 'restricted'. Which means there is no binary pkg for LAME.

 [12:29] < dreamcat4> stuarta: the problem is that LAME is restricted, so
 can't be distributed as a pkg
 [12:30] < dreamcat4> stuarta: which in turn means mythtv isn't installable
 as a binary pkg either
 [12:30] < dreamcat4> as mythtv pkg is built with lame as default option
 (default dependancy)
 [12:30] < stuarta> yep, if it'll build without it, you lose transcoding
 and ability to record from framegrabber cards (that is no loss tho)
 [12:31] < dreamcat4> stuarta: i guessed that. it isn't really important
 enough to warrant being excluded from pkgs
 [12:31] < stuarta> we have a ticket open somewhere to make it an optional
 dependency
 [12:31] < stuarta> it's not optional atm iirc
 [12:32] < dreamcat4> stuarta: do you mean to make it optional in freebsd
 port Makefile, or in mythtv srcs itself ?
 [12:32] < stuarta> src
 [12:32] < stuarta> if you don't have it installed, the configure error's
 out
 [12:33] < dreamcat4> right ok, so that's a problem for FreeBSD users who
 want an easy install (from binary pkgs)
