Mac OS X: build fails for release-0-21-fixes

[dweller@…]

I am trying to build MythFrontend on my Mac.

I am encountering an error when building the application with the following command:

./osx-packager.pl -verbose -svnbranch release-0-21-fixes

If anyone has any insight as to why this build is failing, I would appreciate your input.

Here is an output of the build process:

[osx-pkg] Forcing -usehdimage due to case-insensitive filesystem

I tried removing the parallel processors option (j9) in osx-packager.pl and got the same type of error.

Here is what I am using for gcc:

I am compiling this on Mac OS 10.5.7 on a Mac Pro (Intel).

I figured out the problem. The configure script at src/myth-svn/mythtv/configure was not detecting my quad-core Xeon CPU correctly. I applied the following patch to fix it:

--- configure.old	2009-08-04 07:54:24.000000000 -0500

(In [21124]) Detect Quad-Core Xeon on Mac OS X 10.5.7. Thanks Devon. Refs #6806

[Nigel]

Devon kindly provided me with the processor ID string:

$ /usr/sbin/sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5462  @ 2.80GHz

That string appears to be detected OK by the trunk configure (where it is mapped to -march=core2). It is only fixes that didn't like it.
