Hi:

Quick question for those who know(TM): so if we build the AVCVideoServices.framework (outside of MacPorts), is it appropriate to store it to store it in /Library/Frameworks/ ? From the look of it, third party software uses this folder for frameworks but I can't quickly see a definitive answer on the Apple Developer site.

Thanks,

Craig

On the mythtv-users list Craig mentioned that it may be possible to enable firewire support on the backend with the macports build. I would be interested in that support, and could contribute some limited time (with my limited skill set) to help with this. Let me know how to proceed.

Hi Joann:

It _may_ be possible. I think it may be a hack job, though, as there seem to be very few firewire users in general anymore and very few on OS X.

(Just about the bottom of the page.)

The recommended strategy is to add another variant to the port that looks for the required framework and turns on the firewire option when found:

Like the recipe for elephant soup, first we need the firewire framework. Are you running the G5 still? I think JYA had to develop some patches to keep it working on Intel. I believe there is something on his web site.

Why don't we take this off-list see if we can figure out something to make this work? Unfortunately, I'm going to be tied up most of the day so I won't be able to do much at the moment.

Craig
