The problem is with line 325 of mythplugins/configure:
if test x`which sdl-config` != x ; then
test expects one word on either side of the != so all that "no sdl-
config in ..." crap gives it heartburn. Down at line 691 theres a
which that redirects stderr to /dev/null. I assume that is to
protect from chatty which programs but Apple's which writes to
stdout. It's true we could change the test to pipe which's output
to grep -v ^no but that goes against my principles on the grounds
of uglyness. Still, it would work.
OTOH those two tests aren't very crucial so I don't see why they
caused my build to fail. I'll remove the /sw/bin from the script's
path and try again.
If you don't like the "grep -v ^no", the only other suggestion I have
is to write a custom "which" like function, that basically parses the
$PATH variable and checks each path element for the binary, shouldn't
be too many lines of code. IMHO I don't think that the grep option
is too ugly, it should work across most platforms doesn't require
additional manual coding.
