Linux Git Compiled version not installing
#1
I am getting the following error after a successfull build:

htpc01@htpc01:~/Download/XBMC/xbmc$ sudo make install
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘xbmc’: File exists
make: *** [install-scripts] Error 1

I have no idea where it wants to do something, or how to adjust.
I uninstalled my previous revision.

Update: Manually deleted all old files which resisted in my system (updatedb -> locate) and after that it installed

Probably failing due to https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5216 if so no idea.

Can't open this web, https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5216, what's it?
I'm also blocked on this issue.

You are not blocked - most likely your provider is blocking you - get some free internet, if possible.

Concerning the OP. There is a problem recreating the symlink - do sudo make uninstall before the sudo make install
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

the error says that $PREFIX/bin/xbmc exists already. Remove it.
