Linux build.sh script

The code in question is

CORES=$(grep "processor" /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l)

which would give incorrect info regarding the cpus, for example if the "model name" contains the key word "processor", like the case of appletv.

Sample output of appletv's /proc/cpuinfo

processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 13
model name : Genuine Intel® processor 1.00GHz
stepping : 8
cpu MHz : 600.000
cache size : 2048 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes

Solutions:

CORES=$(grep ^processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l)

One more thing about the script is that sometimes it needs too much end-user attention. It will be a good idea to add a "-y" switch to auto answer all the questions.

submitted two patches to sourceforge

Has anyone successfully run this in Ubuntu64 7.10 gutsy?

Funny as it was developed on gentoo...anyway this is getting us nowhere. I'm going to add the patches that have been posted recently and make a flag that doesn't suppress any output. I'll need you to run with this flag and http://www.pastebin.ca the output.

I think you're looking for the "CONFIRM" option. --help was added to be read...
I'll add your other patches though, thanks.

The linuxport as a whole doesn't support 64bit so no attempt has been made to get build.sh to work with it yet.

UPDATE: Ok, updates sent to pike. Should be in svn when he wakes up.

One thing I noticed about Changelog.py is that if you run it at a location other than the XBMC source folder it will complain about

svn: '.' is not a working copy

since the svn wasn't provided the svn root folder.

Here is my patch for Changelog.py

althekiller, do you mind submitting that patch as well? Thank you all for your great efforts.

The build script from now on will be executed at 6 pm every day on my machine. Good luck to me!

Changelog.py was tossed together in a few minutes just to get changelog in linux, I've been meaning to rework it for awhile now.

I was using an older version of XBMC Linux.. i figured it would be best to start fresh versus trying to upgrade. I deleted my original folder and made a new one. Downloaded the latest svn did the apt-get line and tried build.sh got errors. tried sudo got the same errors.

please anyone, i am somewhat failure with the command line.

i meant familiar with the linux command line interface.

Run "ls -l configure" from your source tree". Output should look similar to


if the permissions are not -rwxr-xr-x, run "chmod 755 configure" and all should be well.

Thank you... its compiling..... much love.. Thanks!
