I have installed xbmc gotham (13.2) on ubuntu 14.04, but there seem to be no PVR clients installed by default. If I do a search for PVR, the Mediaportal PVR client shows up, but when I try to install it I get an error saying "dependencies are not met". What am I doing wrong here? I remember that I had to add some PPA like xbmc-pvr-addons or something on another PC running Xubuntu 14.04 before I got it to work, but I can't find any reference to that PPA or how to add it.
Can somebody help me?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc-pvr-addons

No luck with that branch either:
tomas@tomas-740u3e:~/Hämtningar/xbmc-pvr-addons$ ./bootstrap
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
configure.ac:15: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

Ok, so I finally got around to tinker with this again. With Mikes advice I managed to configure and make the zip-files. I even did
./configure --enable-addons-with-dependencies
but when trying to install the add-on from zip in XBMC I get "unmet depencies"...
I just can't believe it can be this difficult to get pvr set up and working with XBMC in Ubuntu 14.04. I have succeeded on another pc running Xubuntu, but I can't recall how I did it. I am certain, though, that it didn't involve anywhere near all the steps I have been trying now. I think I just added the ppa and apt-get installed, but that doesn't work on this pc.

This is now solved. I don't know when the setup for pvr clients in Kodi/XBMC changed, but I have now finally found out that Live TV needs to be activated before any pvr clients show up.
Thanks everybody that chimed in to help!
