Compiling vs Installing libs on osx
#1
Caveat right up front: I haven't compiled Kodi on OSX yet.

I'm working through the steps to compile (based on the README.osx.md), and it looks like it's downloading/compiling all the dependencies.

Is there a way (e.g. through homebrew or something similar) to download the lib-devel packages, rather than having to compile them all individually? For the Linux README, there's a build-depends clause which lists all the packages, to avoid the dependency compilation.

If so, it'd make building from git source a lot quicker on OSX.

Or is there some quirk about dev on OSX that prevents this?

Nope there are no pre compiled dependencies with the correct compile flags available through anything like macports or homebrew. Also note that compiling depends is mostly only needed once for quiet some time - once done normally only the Xcode project needs to be compiled
