ATM we're 2.3 and higher I believe. ATM it's ARM (with neon, though we're trying to do non-neon as well) + x86.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

Fantastic work! I've compiled for 2.3.3 and above, and have tested on an MK802 and a Mini X and they both work well!

Download the binary here: removed due to XBMC team not wanting to release binaries

I'm also compiling. Dependencies built fine. But when I try to build the main app after a while I get

checking sys/inotify.h usability... yes
checking sys/inotify.h presence... yes
checking for sys/inotify.h... yes
checking boost/shared_ptr.hpp usability... yes
checking boost/shared_ptr.hpp presence... yes
checking for boost/shared_ptr.hpp... yes
configure: Using Python 2.6
checking for main in -lEGL... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.
make: *** [../../../..//libxbmc.so] Error 1


If anybody can point me in the right direction Smile

Likely some dependencies didn't build correctly, try running "make" for the depends again, this time without -j N, and see if it finishes properly or not. You can get a hint on what is missing by looking at config.log for the exact error (it is likely not EGL, but probably e.g. python).

Thanks anssi, I do in fact have an error in my dependencies. It's trying to get libzip from http://www.nih.at/libzip/libzip-0.10.tar.gz but i cannot connect to that.
I will try to download the tarball manually from another location and put it in the tarball dir. Don't know if it's as easy as that?

Yes, that should work. Just make sure it is the same one, i.e. 0.10 and gz compressed.
