Compiling mythtv-core.25 on G4: byteswap.h not found

[mfourtytwoi@…]

Compileing mythtv-core.25 gives me the errors:

:info:build avformatwriter.cpp:29:22: error: byteswap.h: No such file or directo
ry
:info:build avformatwriter.cpp: In function ‘void bswap_16_buf(short int*, int, 
int)’:
:info:build avformatwriter.cpp:314: error: ‘bswap_16’ was not declared in this s
cope

I can't find any byteswap.h file under /usr nor /opt/local. But I get some bswap.h files in the mythtv temp directories. I've linked them to byteswap.h in their respective directories, but the compilation isn't finished yet.

I'm afraid that this port is completely untested on PPC and I'd be surprised if it will build; let alone run. I have not heard of anyone running mythtv-core.25 on OS X prior to 10.6; which, of course, won't run on a PPC Mac.

There is a version of byeswap.h on the Myth github repository but I have no idea if it is the right one or not.

It is conceivable that you could install Linux on your G4 and build a Linux version of Myth. There is a G5 buildbot and I see that it completed a successful build as recently as Sep 10. You might ask for more details on the mythtv-users mailing list.

Sorry, but given that I don't have a PPC machine anymore, I can't support this port on that platform.
