Unable to compile XBMC with PVR addons - Wotim - 2014-05-18
Hello together,
I don't get it.... I want to compile XBMC Gotham with PVR addons. When I compile XBMC (which works like a charm), the PVR Repository is not added. So I tried to compile the PVR addons to zip using "./configure && make zip". But when I try to install the resulting zip in XBMC, it says "could not load dll".
In the compile process of xbmc I see in ./configure
"PVR add-ons: No"
This suggests that it would be possible to compile xbmc already with the pvr addons. But I searched and searched. no where an information how to do it. Also "./configure --help" says nothing of how to enable pvr addons.
So: Can anyone help me to get xbmc gotham compiled with pvr addons? There really seems to be no doc out there explaining this.
Thanks
Wotim

why compile? most newer installations of xbmc come with the pvr addons.

for in-tree building pvr sources need to be located in xbmc/pvr-addons

same question with IIRC same problem was asked just 1-2 weeks ago. PVR addons are a git submodule, so for intree compile you have to initialize/fetch the git submodules upfront (IIRC).

"could not load dll" usually means there's an API mismatch or something. You'll see the exact error in the logs.
