Re: [Solved] Building Mythtv 31.x on Catalina

Post by bill6502 »

John,

Thanks for testing the tiny ansible playbook. I needed to prove that the macports module works
(https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest ... odule.html).

And for everyone,

Before I go further, is anyone using ansible for OSX? I can't find anything mentioning it in the
existing playbooks.

I'm guessing ansible wasn't used or that some other package manager matched the ansible_pkg_mgr,
e.g. freebsd. I can get a macports solution started, if it's of value.

Comments?

@bill6502 There is no 'nix-style package management system on a stock macOS system. There are several options for users that want to install one. The two leading ones would be Homebrew and MacPorts. They take quite different approaches to package management, however. Both Homebrew and MacPorts support installing ansible. Unfortunately, I don't know anything more about the ansible system.

@Craig - I just installed and loaded mpstats

@bill6502 - I would happily use ansible, there was no playbook available so I started adding ports until I got things chugging. The ports listed in the second post of this thread include what's needed for v31. Anyone wanting to use ansible will need to install the py38-ansible port.

During this compile adventure, I had started with homebrew. Unfortunately it's qt5 install was missing webkit, so it looks like macports is the only current viable option for building without rolling up your sleeves and adding a cask to homebrew or compiling qt5 on your own.

Thanks both. Attached is a patch to the existing MythTV ansible playbook. It can be installed
by changing to wherever the existing playbook is and doing: git apply mythtv-ansible-macports.patch

N.B. I don't have an OSX box (and can barely spell OSX.) Most packages (ports?) will fail, only the
py38 ones are likely OK. I'd be happy to take corrections and will commit this if you're interested.

The only instructions I found via Google for installing ansible involved pip. If that's true, then I'll
update the README.md.

Corrected version of the patch is attached.

Patch above was corrected. If it's easier, here's the bulk of the ports it would add:

Couple of quick observations on the patch.

The MythTV OSX port doesn't use X11 or pulseaudio; stuff internal to OSX is used (CoreVideo/VideoToolbox + CoreAudio). Also, video for linux doesn't exist on OSX. Those running a backend are almost all using HDhomerun boxes from Silicondust. A very few (1?) jump through some hoops to use Firewire.

Don't think g++ is needed--clang is included in Xcode and works fine.

At the moment, I'm not in a position to actually test any of this. @dhampton?

I'm actually working on this now. Will probably need some help once I get through the port matching fun.

@jhoyt I think the patch may have a number of redundant entries. MacPorts is pretty good about walking down the recursive dependency list so you may not need to specify every dep.

Also, I haven't looked at the Qt5 playbook. This could be a nightmare for different versions of OSX. The most recent Qt5 versions only support very recent OSX versions. Choosing the 'best' Qt5 version for a given OSX isn't straightforward and few people have the resources to test the various combinations.

Here's a corrected patch file (at least for ports that are in macports).
mythtv-ansible-macports.patch
(4.84 KiB) Downloaded 125 times
I suspect I'll need to add more packages to cover the missing qt pieces (qt5-qtwebkit qt5-qtscript qt5
qt5-mysql-plugin), apache-ant, and py38-pip.

Is there a way to get ansible to call pip to install mysqlclient (py38-mysqldb)?

Output from ansible:

Code: Select all

ansible-playbook -i hosts qt5.yml

Code: Select all

  - name: get mysqldb
    pip:
      name: py38-mysqldb # Just a guess based on the above
You may like to add this: DISPLAY_SKIPPED_HOSTS=0 ansible-playbook -i hosts qt5.yml
while testing. It gets rid of lots of the skipping lines. Some versions of ansible need ANSIBLE_ in
front of it (a warning message will print if so.)

Not sure but is py38-pymysql a functional replacement (ie a "pure python" version)?

Unfortunately no. ./configure throws the following error when mysqlclient is not installed via pip.

@Bill any chance you know how to tell ansible to use the recently installed version of pip to install sw?

Adding the Qt5 patch. Once, there was a Qt4 version, but that's long gone.

I actually went a different path with the qt-macports.yml. Here's what I did (based on freebsd), happy to learn what the right way to do this is....

Code: Select all

- name: create list of qt5 libraries
  set_fact:
    macports_pkg_list:
      - qt5
      - qt5-qtwebkit
      - qt5-qtscript
      #- qt5-mysql-plugin
      # packages in repo for fedora, and in epel for centos7/rhel7
      # - none yet
  tags:
    - qt5

# This looks like overkill, but the intent is to provide future maintainers
# with a template to add more (especially conditional) packages.

- name: add qt5 runtime dependencies
  set_fact:
    macports_pkg_list:
      - '{{ macports_pkg_list }}'
      - qt5-mysql-plugin
  tags:
    - qt5

- name: final port qt5 package list
  debug:
    msg:
      '{{ lookup("flattened", macports_pkg_list) }}'

- name: install port qt5 packages
  macports:
    name:
      '{{ lookup("flattened", macports_pkg_list) }}'
    state:
      present

As I recall, early in the Python v3 conversion, pymysql wasj tested, because another
distribution didn't have MySQLdb at the time. I can't find the emails, but pymysql wasn't working
with the bindings and it was dropped.

John, not sure I understand the "any chance you know how to tell ansible to use the
recently installed version of pip to install sw?" question. The pip module 4 posts
above worked for me on a different project. If installing pip itself is required, then
the 'proof of concept' format done earlier could be placed early in the task/main.yml.
That way it could be installed earlier and be available for other ports.
