To be sure, I'm not using the port; it's marked Broken, and i386 only to 
boot! (also, when I tried making it, having cleared out the flags, the 
compile eventually failed also, giving me the sort of errors I would expect 
from the assembler being told to put together the wrong sort of code. 
("(%rdx,%eax)' is not a valid 64 bit base/index expression")

Looking over the port, I've grabbed a couple of the patches 
(httprequest.cpp, videoout_xv.cpp) and applied them (and the one for 
yuv2rbg.cpp that it requires from the obsd.patch I found trawling past posts 
on the list) on a fresh svn checkout, and it now compiles  (I'm very 
impressed) almost to the end of compiling mythfrontend! It's now failing at

cd mythfrontend && qmake mythfrontend.pro -o Makefile
WARNING: Failure to find: version.cpp
cd mythfrontend && make -f Makefile
echo 'const char *myth_source_version =' '"'`(svnversion 
/home/builds/myth/mythtv 2>/dev/null) || echo Unknown`'";' > .vers.new ; 
diff .vers.new version.cpp > .vers.diff 2>&1 ; if test -s .vers.diff ; then 
mv -f .vers.new version.cpp ; fi ; rm -f .vers.new .vers.diff
*** Error code 2


while it's still in the mythfrontend directory. I went back into the 
directory, made clean, went back and applied the patch I found in the port's 
files directory, and went back to the make process, however this didn't get 
the process any further.

Thank you for your help so far!

Many regards

Dicky
