Hi:
I'd like (1) to test LIRC on the Mac (2) but I'm having trouble
building a version of the frontend with Lirc support. The problem is
that MacPorts (3) installed Lirc under /opt/local/ and
osx-packager.pl expects it to be somewhere else.
If I understand src/myth-svn/mythtv/configure correctly (which is
doubtful), it ensures that the Lirc client, libraries and header
files are all present before compiling in Lirc support. How do I
tell it to try /opt/local/ ?

(1) I'm using a Harmony 880 in my home theatre setup and it doesn't
emulate the Apple Remote very well--usually have to press a button
twice to get the action to take place. Besides, the Apple Remote
doesn't have enough buttons.
(2) There is no direct Lirc support for the IR receiver built-into my
Mac Mini BUT I have confirmed that Lirc can receive commands from the
IR receiver in the HDHomeRun! I can tell the 880 it is controlling
something else (say a DVD player) and then map the buttons to useful
actions in Myth.
