Mint LDME and Gotham (again) - Mario22 - 2014-05-24
I have found some other threads dealing with the alpha9 situation in linux mint LMDE.
But none with a solution ..
Has anyone found an easy trick to install latest Gotham version in linux mint LMDE ?
Without manual compilation ??
I wish to install xbmc on a mint LMDE with very little disk space. So I can't add all the dependencies needed for source compilation.
(doxygen & co). Cross compilation is not an option here.
The alph9 version works quite smooth, but I need to store my library on a sql server, and share it with my iMacs xbmc. And guess what: alpha9 and latest Mac versions don't use the same DB version (MyVideos76 vs MyVideos78)..
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks !

compile on a similar host, sshfs, and make install on the target host.

Alternative: Don't use a bloated OS, e.g. use a minimal ubuntu and use our ppa.

Well, I eventually managed to compile from git, using an external hard drive to gain some space.
Unfortunately the code extracted from git repository seems to be using a newer database structure (MyVideos79 vs 78 used by the iMacs binary).
I think the newer version asked mysqld to "migrate" MyVideos78 database to MyVideos79, so I can't share the same data across my 3 platforms.
MyMusic database was not migrated .. so I miss all the music information.
Maybe I'm asking a little bit too much. I'll try to forget about the linux client, and use only my iMacs for xbmc.
Maybe I should just wait for a more stable release ..
(btw: I used dropbox to share userdata across these computers, and a NAS hosted mysql server for the database. If I keep fooling around with different versions I might corrupt the userdata structure and loose the metadata for my huge collection)

Sounds like you compiled master not Gotham.
