Comment (by ctreleaven@…):

 I'm afraid that this port is completely untested on PPC and I'd be
 surprised if it will build; let alone run.  I have not heard of anyone
 running mythtv-core.25 on OS X prior to 10.6; which, of course, won't run
 on a PPC Mac.

 There is a version of byeswap.h on the Myth github repository but I have
 no idea if it is the right one or not.

 It is conceivable that you could install Linux on your G4 and build a
 Linux version of Myth.  There is a G5 buildbot and I see that it completed
 a successful build as recently as Sep 10.  You might ask for more details
 on the mythtv-users mailing list.

 Sorry, but given that I don't have a PPC machine anymore, I can't support
 this port on that platform.
