I've been building xbmc-linux from the SVN trunk on Fedora 12 i686.

Since -r25648, xbmc fails to configure.

Specifically, xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/Codecs/libbdnav/configure.ac is complaining "Version of OpenSSL does not feature openssl/ecdsa.h, please upgrade".

Fedora 12 ships openssl-1.0.0-beta4, but the package is configured no-ecdsa due to patent encumbrance[1] (and I think [2]). Commenting out the lines in configure.ac appears to allow xbmc to configure, make, install, and run, although I haven't used the dvdplayer or especially bluray support.

Is this check a surrogate for openssl version, or is ecdsa actually required for something, and if so, what?

I'd be happy to help with a patch to improve the check or turn off the optional feature, but I'm not sure what the design intent is...

for OSX, I had to specify the path to openssl for libbdnav's configure. Like this

/configure --with-ssl-dir=/opt/local/include

this would be in xbmc's configure.in

On Fedora, -I/usr/include is sufficient to find openssl/. Most algorithms' headers are there, but ecdsa.h isn't.

since i have stripped off all crypto things from libbluray (and thus just grabbed libbdnav), the ssl test is probably completely unneeded. a fix is simply to avoid checking for ssl in the configure for libbdnav, as nothing links against the ssl library anyways.

Awesome, thanks. I've submitted the patch to trac.

Thanks guys for figuring this out. It was the last problem I was facing and your solution worked for me.

Hi

that patch fails for me:

bash-4.0$ patch -p1 < libbdnav-remove-openssl.patch
patching file cores/dvdplayer/Codecs/libbdnav/configure.ac
Hunk #1 FAILED at 2.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 60.
2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file cores/dvdplayer/Codecs/libbdnav/configure.ac.rej

what am i doing wrong ? Fedora 12 64-bit as well.

Many Thanks in Advance

If you run:

patch -p0 < libbdnav-remove-openssl.patch

it will work just fine.

Just make sure the .patch file is in the xbmc directory you checked out from svn.

I am in the process of installing xmbc to my fedora 12 x64 system and I having this problems with openssl/ecdsa.h when running ./configure. I checked out from the svn earlier today so I am using the latest version available. I did not have this problem with a previous build that is working successfully on my laptop with fedora 12.

I tried applying the patch without error and ran "autoreconf --force --install" but I am still unable run successfully run ./configure.

Am I still missing something?

akuma,

The latest SVN will compile on Fedora 12 now. Check out the http://buildbot.xbmc.org/grid and see the fedora-nightly for the latest svn trunk that will compile on Fedora. When I built the buildslave, I used ATRPMS to get all the dependencies, and that has worked just fine...

Thanks. Got it working.
