Compile XBMC for AppleTV 2 - raygao - 2011-04-06 I am trying to compile XBMC for my Apple TV 2, because I want to customize it's features, e.g. displaying graphics and playing streaming medias. Is there any detailed guide / information for compiling XBMC for Apple TV 2, (which is ATOM based processor with iOS 4.2x OS)? Thank you very much - Memphiz - 2011-04-06 1. apple tv2 is arm based 2. README.ios (which is inside the root dir of the git project) will tell you how to compile it... good luck memphiz - strelok18t - 2011-12-01 Just tried to compile from source and as expected ran into problems. I read the README.ios, I am stuck trying to open Xcode project, XBMC-ATV2.xcodeproj. " 4.1 Start XCode and open the XBMC project (XBMC-IOS.xcodeproj or XBMC-ATV2.xcodeproj)located in $HOME/XBMC. " Will XBMC ATV2 project compile under Xcode 4.2.1 or does it need Xcode 3.x? I am having trouble installing 3.2.5, stupid Lion . README.ios says that the current build system is Xcode 3.x, so does that answer my own question? - davilla - 2011-12-01 strelok18t Wrote:README.ios says that the current build system is Xcode 3.x, so does that answer my own question? Yes. The readme also mentions 10.4 SDK which is not present in Xcode4. - strelok18t - 2011-12-02 GREAT SUCESS! Thank you! I was able to compile and install XBMC from source, System Info reports today's build date . To compile XBMC for ATV2 Xcode 3.x must be used, it will NOT work with Xcode 4.x (Xcode 4.2.1 at the moment). Installing Xcode 3.2.5 on Lion OSX 10.7 is a small pain! Here are some notes, in case someone stumbles upon this: 1). Get Xcode 3.2.5 here: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/download.action?path=ios/ios_sdk_4.2__final/xcode_3.2.5_and_ios_sdk_4.2_final.dmg 2). To install 3.2.5 on OSX Lion 10.7 read this: http://anatomicwax.tumblr.com/post/8064949186/installing-xcode-3-2-6-on-lion-redux # export COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL=1 # open "/Volumes/Xcode and iOS SDK/Xcode and iOS SDK.mpkg" 3). Xcode installation will hang, complaining about iTunes being open, even if it is not. Do this: # killall iTunesHelper 4). After you follow README.ios and compilation finishes (with 3 warnings) using Xcode GUI, don't forget to make DEB package to install on ATV2. # cd tools/darwin/packaging/xbmc-atv2/ # ./mkdeb-xbmc-atv2.sh release 5). Copy .deb file to ATV2 using SFTP and install # dpkg -i <file.deb> Tested YouTube video playback, works fine . Next I need to figure why UI doesn't look right, there is "no black" in menus. I believe that was reported in forums earlier somewhere. - Memphiz - 2011-12-02 strelok18t Wrote:GREAT SUCESS! mhhh @davilla ... whatsup with the texturepacker? Do we have an issue here or not? Wonder why buildbot succeeds ... - davilla - 2011-12-03 texturepacker packing (or lack of) fixed in trunk. |
