Ok I'm really not sure what went wrong, but my mythtv-git folder must 
have got stuffed up. Even though I git reset and cleaned it every way I 
could find before the final compiling yesterday, and I deleted 
.osx-packager/build and all the extracted folders in .osx-packager/src/, 
I got that error.

Today I did the same but deleted mythtv-git as well and let it pull a 
clean copy down. It then compiles fine, although still leaving no 
.osx-packager/build/bin/pkg-config at the end - I didn't realise it's 
deleted as a post process of some other part of the script. There must 
have been some stale configure cache or Makefile or something in my 
previous mythtv-git causing the problem.

Is there a guaranteed way to clean the mythtv-git folder other than just 
checking out a fresh copy?
Yesterday I tried:
git reset --hard HEAD
git clean -f
git checkout
I thought they'd get rid of any other stuff, but apparently not.

Also, just to be sure, is the osx-packager-qtsdk.pl script on mythtv git 
the best version?:
http://code.mythtv.org/trac/browser/packaging/OSX/build/osx-packager-qtsdk.pl

I did have to change it slightly to allow compilation with the older qt 
4.7.4:

--- a/OSX/build/osx-packager-qtsdk.pl
+++ b/OSX/build/osx-packager-qtsdk.pl
@@ -447,7 +447,7 @@ else
      if ( $hostos =~ m/^1[12]\./ && $QTVERSION !~ m/^4\.[89]\./ )
      {
&Complain("You must use Qt 4.8.0 or above with your OS");
-        exit;
+        # exit;
      }
      $QTBIN="$PREFIX/bin";
      $QTPLUGINS="$PREFIX/plugins";

I didn't want a 64 bit only build, so grabbed the older universal qt. Is 
there anything in particular that works better in 4.8.0 on lion such 
that I should be using it instead?

Thanks,
Andrew
