[XBMC-LIVE][HOW-TO] Install nightly to get Alaska Revisited working - Firas.AlShafei - 2011-04-03 Script originaly from here - check the original post guidance and references I really wanted the new Alaska skin on my Zotac Mag running linux but i couldn't have it since it was an xbmc-live install. It took some looking around but i finally found out how to compile the nightly xbmc from git source. [NOTE] The default installation comes with the horrible vim-tiny installation, the first thing i did was upgrade vim so i can edit my files in peace. Install vim-nox using the following commands Code: sudo apt-get update - Get root Code: sudo su - - Create /home/xbmc/XBMC-build_git.sh Code: vi /home/xbmc/XBMC-build_git.sh - Copy this into script Code: # Script to compile xbmc from source - Run script Code: sh /home/xbmc/XBMC_build_git.sh upgrade - Wait... It takes approximately an hour to complete the first time around, once it's done it will restart xbmc live and you will have the latest nightly! - Install Alaska This script was created by boykster in this post. I'm just adding it here for easy access since i know a lot of people here want to try out the Alaska Revisited goodness. [NOTE] Future builds can be compiled by using the same script with the refresh option since you would already have all the git stuff installed Code: sh /home/xbmc/XBMC_build_git.sh refresh - Rumik - 2011-04-20 Hi there, thanks for writing this script. However, it stops part way through and complains that there's no rule to make it install. Any ideas? Thanks - t2ffn - 2011-04-26 I want to try this but don't want to destroy my perfectly functioning XBMC Live install. Does this work, above post says no... Can I install/run all of the above to a USB drive to preserve my current XBMC Live install? If so, what changes do I need? Thanks for any advice, I want the newer skins! - X3lectric - 2011-04-27 Firas.AlShafei Wrote:I really wanted the new Alaska skin on my Zotac Mag running linux but i couldn't have it since it was an xbmc-live install. if your going to rip off someones work please at leat given them credit... this is where you ripping your shit off from http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=89817 please dont do it again without giving credit. and btw nano doesnt require so much messing around specially to peeps who have no idea about linux so that everyone knows thers no issues building from git sometimes it happens that main trunk gets screwed up thats why my ppas for nightlies stoped - The-Boxhead - 2011-04-27 "This script was created by boykster in this post.

I think he gave you clear credit and link to org post. - boykster - 2011-04-27 Rumik Wrote:Hi there, thanks for writing this script. However, it stops part way through and complains that there's no rule to make it install. Any ideas? Interesting - sorry you're having trouble with the script. Are you running it as root (not sudo, but actually as root after doing a sudo su -)? What do you see in the $HOME/setup directory? It sounds like the build failed, and there's nothing built to install.... - boykster - 2011-04-27 I was able to use my script to build XBMC this morning; make install worked as well, so I'm not sure what errors others are getting. Make sure you are running the script as root, not just with sudo. Copying the files at the end requires root on most systems - Baswazz - 2011-04-27 Thx for sharing i think i will give it a try. - Rumik - 2011-04-27 Do you mean logged in as root? Cause I am and it still won't work - Rumik - 2011-04-27 Actually, the only piece of the instructions I couldn't follow was "- Copy this into script" - I didn't know how to do that. I'm fairly new to Linux and I couldn't work out how to save the script once i'd pasted the code into it. So I created the script in notepad and copied it over. Can you tell me how to save the script once it's created? Maybe something's getting lost in notepad? thanks EDIT: Okay, just figured it out - press Esc then type :wq to save. EDIT: Ran the script again but it still didn't work configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform. make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. xbmc-live start/running, process 29236 Any ideas? Thanks - Baswazz - 2011-04-27 Don't use notepad. To make a script it is quite simple. First download SSH for your windows pc. Or use the terminal in Ubuntu for example: ssh -p 22 username@ip You can also use nano. so: sudo nano /home/xbmc/XBMC-build_git.sh copy/past the code and hit ctrl+O to save. then follow the rest of the steps. - boykster - 2011-04-27 Baswazz Wrote:Don't use notepad. +1 - this is how I do it; I use nano as a lightweight editor. @Rumik - it sounds like the script just isn't running properly for you - you can download it already turned into a script from my post here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=738445&postcount=36 just follow the directions there. Also, what distro are you using? I didn't test the script on any distro other than LIVE installed to a drive - other distros may be different and need some tweaking. - X3lectric - 2011-04-28 The-Boxhead Wrote:"This script was created by boykster in this post.

Copying the files at the end requires root on most systems yes look at commit https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/69482f8d4e6006829f2c6f774bd08af879b3ce46 ppl cant build doesn't mean its script or how-to compile instructions. ppl assume way too much and dont post properly informed posts, this cause users to get more confused. just reading this whole topic makes me cringe. Please dont litter forums with unnecessary posts just because xbmc needs to be a particular version for a particular skin to work, confuses ppl like rumik and t2ffn cause they dont know linux had they read the original post the concerns about Quote:"I dont want to destroy a perfectly good xbmc installand other comments rae answered and sorted on original post. This entire topic and issues could have been avoided by proper informed posting, and why building breaks sometimes in trunk. As the git commit shows above when you cant compile goto IRC and ask if trunk is building ok 9/10 times if building in Linux is broken bet is developers know about it. if they going to fix it or not idk. As for credit due for original poster please read the whole post where script is and follow up there. - Rumik - 2011-04-28 Yeah, i have no idea what you just said. Boykster - thanks for the file, but I tried it and I'm still getting the same problem. I'm running 10.1 Live. Anyone have any other ideas about how I could get this working? Thanks - The-Boxhead - 2011-04-29 X3lectric Wrote:boyskters script was part of a combined effort, please read original post. where the topic starter should have posted his information, because of below info. Ok i see and totally agree my reading glasses was out of reach i guess |
