Hi,

I'm trying to compile under Centos so I'm following this doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-RmE...YD55Ag2Rhs

But now I'm stuck at:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/opt/xbmc --enable-libbluray

Code:

checking for TAGLIB... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.

Ok, grabbed latest cmake version:

Code:

./configure --prefix = / usr
gmake
gmake install

than build the latest taglib:

Code:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX =/usr/local -DCMAKE_RELEASE_TYPE=Release  .
make  
make install

But still the error persists, what else am I missing to clear this error ?

Thank you !

Welcome to forums.

That guide is certainly not official and looking at it, most required dependencies are missing. You should be looking at https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...ADME.linux at very least.

[wsnipex]

that particular error clearly says that you are missing taglib = libtag(-devel). Min required version is 1.8

[zanga]

Thank you very much for your support !

I managed to build it.

The problem was wrong path while trying to cmake taglib, it's /usr not /usr/local.

[zanga]

While doing

Code:

make -j2

it's now exiting with

Code:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltasn1
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [xbmc.bin] Error 1

[wsnipex]

libtasn1-devel

My congratulations.
I'm also trying to compile under Centos 6.5 during last week. I'm following as you this doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-RmE...YD55Ag2Rhs
But unfortunately I couldn't get such beautiful result as you got.
I always received such result:

I'd like ask you to prepare short manual "HOW-TO". If you could.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

I have got some progress.
I could execute:

Code:

./bootstrap

But when I executed:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/opt/xbmc --enable-libbluray

I always received such result:

Code:

checking for main in -ltinyxml... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.

What does it mean?
And what should I do?
Please, help me.
Thank you in advance.

Man - read(!)

tinyxml development dependencies is missing for you ...

[Shvarc]

Man - read(!)

tinyxml development dependencies is missing for you ...

OK!
Could I ask You?
Did You read README.linux?

Code:

You will then need the required libraries. The following is the list of packages
that are used to build XBMC packages on Debian/Ubuntu (with all supported
external libraries enabled).

Build-Depends: autoconf, automake, autopoint, autotools-dev, cmake, curl,
  debhelper (>= 7.0.50~), default-jre, gawk, gperf, libao-dev, libasound2-dev,
  libass-dev (>= 0.9.8), libavahi-client-dev, libavahi-common-dev, libavcodec-dev,
  libavfilter-dev, libavformat-dev, libavutil-dev, libbluetooth-dev, libbluray-dev,
  libboost-dev, libboost-thread-dev, libbz2-dev, libcap-dev, libcdio-dev, libcec-dev,
  libcurl4-gnutls-dev | libcurl4-openssl-dev | libcurl-dev, libcwiid-dev, libdbus-1-dev,
  libenca-dev, libflac-dev, libfontconfig-dev, libfreetype6-dev, libfribidi-dev,
  libgl1-mesa-dev | libgl-dev, libglew-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev | libglu-dev, libhal-dev,
  libhal-storage-dev, libiso9660-dev, libjasper-dev, libjpeg-dev, libltdl-dev, liblzo2-dev,
  libmad0-dev, libmicrohttpd-dev, libmodplug-dev, libmpcdec-dev, libmpeg2-4-dev, libmysqlclient-dev,

  libpulse-dev, librtmp-dev, libsdl-dev, libsdl-image1.2-dev, libsdl-mixer1.2-dev,
  libshairplay-dev, libsmbclient-dev, libsqlite3-dev, libssh-dev, libssl-dev,
  libswscale-dev, libtag1-dev (>= 1.8), libtiff-dev, libtinyxml-dev, libtool,
  libudev-dev, libusb-dev, libva-dev, libvdpau-dev, libvorbis-dev, libxinerama-dev,
  libxml2-dev, libxmu-dev, libxrandr-dev, libxslt1-dev, libxt-dev, libyajl-dev,
  lsb-release, nasm [!amd64], python-dev, python-imaging, python-support, swig,
  unzip, yasm, zip, zlib1g-dev
Note: For developers and anyone else who compiles frequently it is recommended to use ccache.

   $ sudo apt-get install ccache

Unfortunately it is once more about Debian/Ubuntu.
But where can I read about Installation on CentOS/RedHat? But if You read from the very beginning, You could see, I have CentOS 6.5.
Maybe when You told:"Man - read(!)" you mean something else? In this case, please show me it.
I know that tinyxml development dependencies is missing. But maybe You could show me the required libraries that should I install for resolving this issue?
Thank You in advance.

[wsnipex]

We don't have a redhat guide. The libs will be very similar, but there is no c/p howto. PR welcome

[fritsch]

Here: https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/yum/s...kages.html

Use yum to search for packages, e.g. yum search tinyxml dev

[fritsch]

And here to add - you are approximately the 5th centos user, that asks for help during this process and _none_ of you came back to post a complete howto. So next time I see a centos "howto build question" I will just close that topic and tell: "Ask your very own distribution cause they obviously don't want you to have xbmc - cause they don't provide it for you!".

Oh, it is very tricky! I see.
And your c/p howto from Debian/Ubuntu to other Linux looks very, very Good.
My congratulations!
I guess many others CentOS/RedHat users very happy with me too.
But in any case. Thank You very much!!!

Thank You. I will try to do it.
