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?
