I want to study and modify the source code xbmc but do not know where to start. XBMC wiki instructions very difficult to follow. Please help me.

I am fluent in php and basic C/C++/C#

thank you

Thanks nickr.

I've looked at grithup

I tried to run it but get an error.

I downloaded the source code at grithup and xbmc.org but error runs





thank you

Did you read HOW-TO:Compile_for_Windows (wiki)

[bnp88]

Thanks Kib

i have read and follow around 6-7 times before exhaustion

in step 6

build using VC + + 2010

I really need help

[nickr]

I don't know much about compiling on windows, but if you are at Step 6, amy be conclude that building the project at Step 5 completed without error?

[Prof Yaffle]

It might be unkind to point it out, but this might be a long programming journey if you don't know how to compile it in the first place. If you're modifying code, you'll inevitably have many more times when things don't work properly.

Perhaps this is an initiation test... :-)

at Step 5, too

2 failed, 6 up-to-date, 1 skipped
========== Build: 29 succeeded, 2 failed, 6 up-to-date, 1 skipped ==========


Where you usually compiling, nickr ?

I will try compiling on that platform

thanks nickr

Today, I think I need to learn to develop skin + addon instead seeks to edit source xbmc

I need to compile it because I want to install many different TV box with my skin and addon

[nickr]

Clearly you don't understand XBMC at all if you think you have to compile to install a skin or addon.

[TugboatBill]

At least he(she) is trying.

I want the setup file to contain my skin and add on (edited) when i install on any box.

simple to understand that I want to clone from box to box

(So, I think need to recompile XBMC)

At least he(she) is trying.

Thanks TugboatBill

yes I'm trying but it's hard.

I compile on windows to try but I really need is on android. You know that android can not use "norton ghost" or other program to create an image file as windows.

(So, I think need to recompile XBMC)

[nickr]

I think you need to look at your packaging rather than your compiling. The compiled program will be no different. Even the default skin (confluence) is not compiled.

And I didn't mean to be disparaging, sorry if it came across like that.

Like many problems, if people say what they are trying to do, it makes it easier to help

I understand and will research more, thank you very much ^^

[un1versal]

What is there to research?

Skins and addons are 100% independent packages to xbmc, sure they need xbmc but they dont require any xbmc source code compiling of any kind unless of course you compiling for specific android hardware

Look at any addon or skin that already exists for xbmc and you will see.

You mention you really need to compile for android and you need to install in many boxes -- so I presume you are getting ready to ship/sell your own version of xbmc, pre-packaged in boxes with any addons/skins by default,

Do note, that any thing you ship/provide yourself is 100% your responsibility and duty to support both the xbmc and addons/skins you "ship", and you are also legally responsible for providing anything that may be legally questionable or may give the wrong impression of xbmc..

idk for sure what you up to or really trying to achieve and perhaps I jumped the gun there, but, given what I read so far, thats the impression you left me with.

[bnp88]

Thanks uNiversal

I will install on multiple box with skins and add on (edited) and sell it.

I do that because, I see XBMC is a open source. Can i do it ? (have any violate ?)

I was studying the skin and add on.
