Thanks...I tried the instructions in that readme file, but I guess I'm totally at sea with this stuff. It failed on step 2 (the git clone command).
Can someone who has actually compiled XBMC for the ATV2 provide a simple, step-by-step instruction as to how to accomplish this? The readme file is fairly obscure for people like me who don't really know what's happening here and are not familiar with the intricacies of using github.

If you want help, then you must provide the complete error including the command that you issued. We are not beside you and that damm crystal ball is still broke.

The steps in the readme are as simple and as comprehensive as it can get. I've compiled several times following it. You don't have git, so go ahead and install git first then proceed.
Google: "Install git mac osx your-version"

Thanks, that makes sense--I'm installing git now and will try again. I assume that the instructions in readme.ios create a .deb file on my Mac, which I then upload to the apple TV and install as normal?

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

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.
