Linux Compile XBMC on openSUSE Linux - Can't MAKE
#1
Hi All,

I am running openSuSE 12.1 and the KDE 4.0+ desktop manager. I do know that there is an earlier version of XBMC in the repos, but decided to compile it. I have followed the how to, but keep getting stopped with this message in Terminal:

[b][b]linux-97bf:/home/xbmc # make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
linux-97bf:/home/xbmc #
[/b][/b]

I have tried to compile several times, and am sure (?) that I have resolved all dependencies. Any assistance here? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hi All,

I keep going at the install here, but still getting nowhere. Perhaps the screen shot below will help. This is the contents of my /home/jjm/xbmc folder.

Do I actually have the right files to MAKE? Thanks in advance for any replies.

It looks like you didn't ./bootstrap first.

cowfodder,

I followed the HOW-TO:Compile XBMC on openSUSE Linux here.

In terminal I ran:

jjm@linux-97bf:~> su
Password:
linux-97bf:/home/jjm # cd /home/jjm/xbmc
linux-97bf:/home/jjm/xbmc # ./bootstrap

Then:

Creating config.mak and config.h...
./configure: line 29464: ./configure: No such file or directory
configure: error: Submodule lib/libdvd/libdvdcss failed to configure
linux-97bf:/home/jjm/xbmc # make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
linux-97bf:/home/jjm/xbmc #

I have the full terminal output saved to file, but it is too big to post here. I just love dealing with Tar Balls. It is a black art. LOL!

Thanks for your post.

Hi All,

Problem solved! I have installed XBMC successfully from source code on openSuSE 12.1 and the KDE 4.0+ desktop. What a killer app!

I had made a few mistakes in the past not being in the right directories, and a few sloppy cut / pastes.

You are all to be congratulated on a great application.

What did you change?
I have tried this 5 times installing in the downloads folder but failed in this lines too:

checking for expat.h... no
configure: error: Expat header file is required
configure: error: Submodule lib/cpluff failed to configure
linux-684k:/home/test/Downloads/xbmc/xbmc-11.0 # make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop

What did you do to run 'make'?

it tells you exactly what the problem is. you are missing expat. you have to install all the dependencies listed in docs/README.linux
