[mythtv] MacOS X _HideMenuBar

[Bruce Dillahunty]

I think you don't have the top level settings.pro file set right... you 
need to comment out nearly everything (including OSS and Alsa, etc.). 
Its trying to compile in some of the Linux sound support stuff that 
isn't supported on the Mac, I believe.

I posted this to the list recently... I think its correct, but... If 
you find mistakes, let me know :-)

If you have used the below settings and don't have ALSA commented out, 
try that.

Not trying to steal any thunder from Nigel, just trying to help answer 
some
questions since I can't help much otherwise... Nigel and I had some 
"offline"
communication awhile back about how to get this done... some of the 
important
stuff was:

freetype-2.1.7.tar.bz2
     default configure, make, sudo make install
lame-3.96.tar.gz
     default configure, make, sudo make install
mysql-max-4.0.20-apple-darwin6.8-powerpc.dmg
     default install
qt-mac-free-3.3.2 (I have used 3.3.3 successfully)
     configure -system-zlib -thread -stl -freetype -qvfb 
-plugin-sql-mysql 
-I/usr/local/mysql-max-4.0.20-apple-darwin6.8-powerpc/include 
-L/usr/local/mysql-max-4.0.20-apple-darwin6.8-powerpc/lib
     make, sudo make install


fink version of QT installs the X windows version which isn't what is 
needed,
apparently.

After that, you need to get mythtv (I just grab the latest CVS, but 
Nigel
uses 15.1 with a ton of patches, I think.

You must change the settings.pro file... either comment a ton out, or 
use
the method Jeremiah Morris recommended and put this at the bottom:

# Defaults for Mac OS X
macx {
     DEFINES -= USING_OPENGL_VSYNC
     EXTRA_LIBS -= -lGL -lGLU
     CONFIG -= using_opengl
     CONFIG -= using_ivtv
     DEFINES -= USING_IVTV
     CONFIG -= using_oss
     DEFINES -= USING_OSS
     CONFIG -= using_x11
     CONFIG -= using_xv
     EXTRA_LIBS -= -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXinerama -lXv -lX11 -lXext 
-lXxf86vm
}

then make, sudo make install
then edit /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt to point to your backend database

Right now, the backend won't run on the Mac (I'm correct in this, right
Nigel?)

Then you need to make sure your environment is set properly for QT to 
work...
I didn't "install" QT but run it from my development directory, so I 
have
some environment variables set.

I execute from a terminal window like this:

/usr/local/bin/mythfrontend/MacOSX/xxxxxxx/mythfrontend

(sorry, don't have the full path and can't access the Mac from here)
This lets you see all the normal terminal output.

-----

Thanks to Isaac for a great system and Nigel for a great port!

I'm currently playing with compile settings (optimization) trying to 
get this
to run better on a lower end machine... my last attempt seemed to break
database access, so I don't think I can report success yet :-)
