OK, the git command that wasn't working now works. But in the next step, I get this:

MacBeth:~ Dave$ git submodule update --init addons/skin.touched
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
- ATV2 4.4.4 (iOS 5.0.1) build 9A406a, running Frodo (final version)
- Macbook Pro, running OSX Mountain Lion
- Skin: reFocus
- Connecting to MySQL database on Synology DS411+ NAS via NFS.

forget that one, the touched skin is only used for iOS and not atv2.

forgot the "cd xbmc" before that command?

I think I might've Wink I tried again and it worked in terms of adding the touched bit (although I understand per davilla it's not needed, I just wanted to see if it worked). However, it's still not completing according to the instructions in the readme.ios file.

This is what I've got so far:

Code:
macbeth:~ Dave$ cd xbmc
macbeth:xbmc Dave$ git submodule update --init addons/skin.touched
Submodule 'touched' (git://github.com/xbmc/skin.touched.git) registered for path 'addons/skin.touched'

Submodule path 'addons/skin.touched': checked out '1d03746646111f97e28b807a290bd762c7db547c'
macbeth:xbmc Dave$ cd $HOME/XBMC
macbeth:XBMC Dave$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin; sudo cp tools/darwin/depends/gas-preprocessor/gas-preprocessor.pl /usr/local/bin/
macbeth:XBMC Dave$ cd tools/darwin/depends
macbeth:depends Dave$ ./bootstrap
macbeth:depends Dave$ ./configure --with-darwin=ios
configure: error: error in configure of --with-sdk=5.0
macbeth:depends Dave$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
macbeth:depends Dave$

This is using the latest Xcode/SDK package downloaded today from Apple, on Lion 10.7 install.
- ATV2 4.4.4 (iOS 5.0.1) build 9A406a, running Frodo (final version)
- Macbook Pro, running OSX Mountain Lion
- Skin: reFocus

sigh, xcode4 I bet. not supported and it does say that "The current build system is Xcode 3.x and iOS SDK 4.2/4.3" in the README.ios, so you have to remove xcode4 and install xcode3.

Guys, I do really appreciate your help here and elsewhere (seriously, I really do, you guys do a lot of work for little thanks); but it sure would be nice to have someone here cut me a little slack once in a while, considering that I do my best to try to help people here when I can Blush

Earlier, davilla, you told me one of the things in the readme.ios (about the skin.touched submodule) didn't apply. It also says at the top of the IOS README that "There are two ways to build XBMC for Mac", even though this is instructions for building for IOS (right?). Then it says the two ways are "using the command line or the GUI", but there appears to be only one method described in the readme file. So this all seemed to indicate that there might be several incorrect things in the readme. In any case, I'm trying to follow the readme instructions as best I can.

I Googled "Xcode for Lion 10.7", got a link to it on the Apple page, downloaded and installed it. I did not realize that this was not the proper version of Xcode. Even so, I would have thought the latest version of Xcode would include support for earlier versions. I see that is incorrect now, but was not aware of it at the time. I've never used Xcode, nor tried to manually compile anything (I'm not a programmer), so this is all totally new to me.

I know you guys are intimately familiar with all this. As someone who's worked in computer tech support for 20 years, I know how frustrating it can be when you think someone isn't doing something simple correctly. All I can ask for is a little patience.

I'll see if I can find the proper version of Xcode and try again.

I have no problems compiling on Snow Leopard with Xcode 3.2.6 if that helps

That was exactly what i did here:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=988...stcount=15

i counted you in there ...

Beside that the readme.ios is just not intended for non programmers. You should at least have used xcode before imho. If you get the right xcode version its 100% like it is stated in the readme ...

Not quite!

Snippted from README.ios (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/README.ios)

"Install latest Xcode. You can download it from Apple's site after registration at (http://developer.apple.com/tools/download). The preferred version is Xcode 3.2.5 and iOS SDK 4"

Same goes for README.osx (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/README.osx):

"Install latest Xcode. You can download it from Apple's site after registration at (http://developer.apple.com/tools/download). You also need to install the 10.4 sdk. If using Xcode 3.x, you MUST use Xcode 3.1.2 so update your existing version if you are running a previous Xcode 3.x version. Xcode 3.x only runs on 10.5."

Either the instructions are wrong/fuzzy or they need to be updated regarding Xcode 3.x is mandatory...
