You can build from the aur, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kodi-git/

or you can just build it yourself from git.

XBMC 13.2 is the latest stable Kodi version, if you're looking for stable.

13.2 is xbmc and not kodi.

This is no arch linux helpline, here. We have prebuild packages for Ubuntu. If you cannot manage Arch, don't use it.

Download and extract: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ko/kodi-git/kodi-git.tar.gz
Run: makepkg -s -L
-s (Install missing dependencies with pacman)
-L (Log package build process) <-- This will tell you what went wrong. You were probably missing dependencies -s will install all the needed dependencies.
Thats it. Arch packages are easy to build

kodi-git needs a little update, you might want to try https://github.com/dhead666/archlinux-pkgbuilds/tree/master/kodi-snapshot

keep in mind that I only use the package for general testing and not on a production system (get OpenELEC for your HTPC), the service file wasn't updated recently, cec breaks the build process so it disabled, and it's possible that I might disabled other things so diff against kodi-git PKGBUILD.


RE: Install Kodi on Arch Linux - Smallville - 2014-11-12

Thx for the help m8s i try the decaturguy way and the dhead way and i have the same error.

PeripheralCecAdapter.cpp: In member function ‘void PERIPHERALS::CPeripheralCecAdapter::SetConfigurationFromSettings()’:
PeripheralCecAdapter.cpp:1272:35: error: ‘CEC_CLIENT_VERSION_2_2_0’ was not declared in this scope

Makefile:517: recipe for target 'xbmc/peripherals/devices/peripheral-devices.a' failed

Is there any other way to install kodi on arch ?


Thx for the help


RE: Install Kodi on Arch Linux - fritsch - 2014-11-12

Use the correct libcec dependencies ... it's not so hard.


RE: Install Kodi on Arch Linux - wsnipex - 2014-11-12

guess we should disable cec by default...
