I'm building in a local Raspbian chroot (on Opensuse)
for target RPi, from popcornmix's newclock4 sources,
with libgpg-error installed,
and
configuring
but, without the platofrm spec

libgpg-error is clearly there. unclear what's unique about the rasppberry-pi spec'n that causes the 'miss'.

EDIT

As a test, I (re)checked-out clean/latest trees for both "newclock3" & "newclock4" branches

I.e., only ./configure of newclock4, with opt "--with-platform=raspberry-pi" currently fails to find lgpg-error

what says? you have in your $LDFLAGS ?

also paste the whole config.log from xbmc after you get the error

Actually I just got this on a clean build (I think if you build newclock3 first and then newclock4, I think it works).

The error in config.log was:

I fixed it with:

I think the build system does copy these files, but possibly not early enough to make the configure stage work.

Ah - I think this patch may be needed. Milhouse can confirm:

Yes, that patch is required (and called "keep/build/enable_mmal.patch" in my hacked together build system, the patch applied in oepull.sh).

milhouse, can you PR this patch for our master?

Will do (created PR:3451).

Hi, is there a way to "duplicate" this patch for a non-openelec build? I have the exact same error on a cc machine since beta1 (till alpha4 builds were ok). Thanks in advance

Shouldn't really be that hard, just track down where the firmware libraries are referenced and add the mmal libraries, although chances are your problem is due to re-branding as this mmal change pre-dates the alpha builds.

yup, you're right, just needed to copy the libs...(still don´t know why it broke)

anyways, ill leave here what i needed to copy:

/opt/vc/lib/libmmal.so /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libmmal.so
/opt/vc/lib/libmmal_core.so /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libmmal_core.so
/opt/vc/lib/libmmal_util.so /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libmmal_util.so
/opt/vc/lib/libmmal_vc_client.so /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libmmal_vc_client.so
add to LDFLAGS
export LDFLAGS="-march=$TARGET_SUBARCH -mtune=$TARGET_CPU $TARGET_LOPT -L /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf"

Hi,

I have the same issue as in the title.
I am trying to ./configure KODI Helix 14.0 RC3 from git on Raspberry PI.
I have libgpg-error-dev installed.
The config.log file is at http://pastebin.com/tCs22Hhb

[edit] Worked after folowing the copy steps above.

Hello and sorry to disturb you from your rather profound meditation, but I might need some help over here and ran out of ideas.
First, I'd like to thank you for the resolution provided in this thread, as it was my first problem that I've solved by adding LDFLAGS="-L /opt/vc/lib/" before configuring Kodi and managed to get rid of the reported confusing lgpg-error that actually hasn't had anything to do with the real dependencies issue:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmmal
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmmal_core
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmmal_util


Now, to be more specific, I'm trying to compile a minimal and PVR (tvheadend) specific Kodi popcornmix (newclock 5) - with omxplayer and support for OpenMAX (not really sure why I need this one, tried to disable it with --disable-openmax without any success) on a Slackware (14.2)-CURRENT arm HF driven Pi2B and failing due to some openmax dependencies, detailed in the following make error lines:

- I deliberately renamed the release (folder) in xbmc-16.1-Jarvis because I'm using a Slackbuild script to build and generate a Slackware package and I've found it simpler to just rename the archive&folder instead of modifying parts of the script

I'm building Kodi natively and I didn't set up a chroot / sysroot, therefore I tried to add the path to the Raspberry Firmware and Libs, like I did with the missing mmal deps, with the help of LDFLAGS="-L /opt/vc/lib/ -L /opt/vc/include" and I'm still failing. Additionally, by considering that all the patches have merged into the latest Kodi releases, I tried both Kodi 16.1 Stable and latest master branch 17.03 Beta, but to no avail. Worth to mention that although I'm running Slackware, I'm using Raspberry's original and actual (some weeks ago) kernel and /opt/vc (firmware) and the needed dependencies are functional and available in /opt/vc:

cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib
/usr/arm-slackware-linux-gnueabi/lib
/opt/vc/lib

QUESTION - is there any specific place (Makefile) where I can hard code the path to the missing openmax deps or any trick to make the build scripts see them, without setting up a cross-compilation / toolchain /sysroot environment (useless, since I can compile Kodi natively in 25 minutes and my SD Card is a very good and resisting Samsung EVO). I can build all Kodi releases starting from 15.2 up to the actual Beta if I don't use --with-platform=raspberry-pi2 --enable-player=omxplayer.

Thanks!

Apparently I got over it by manually copying the following dependencies from /opt/vc/include :

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 14 08:58 IL
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2342 Oct 14 08:50 bcm_host.h
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep 23 05:34 interface
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 14 08:58 vcinclude

into the /kit/tmp/SBo/xbmc-16.1-Jarvis/xbmc/linux directory, where they were needed and statically linked in some .h files with include statements. Why?
I hope that there are no permanent static linking (relative/absolute) inherited in the resulting build, otherwise Kodi will not work without having them in that specific place...

And then, just for encouragement, I got into another EGL related issue - opened here:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2436419

I was wondering why is the pretty standard /opt/vc folder not checked during the configure script / make file? There should be some standards/discipline, otherwise things are getting really messy and it's a pity for such a great project like Kodi. I must confess, I had a lot of issues with missing libs, then crash-testing the Kodi configure/make scripts and I'm still grateful that my SdCard hasn't got destroyed by my ~ at least 50 build attempts (including removing the whole build directory and unpacking a fresh Kodi.tgz).
