Meego is just out today. It is an amazing platform.
I wonder whether we can make XBMC running on it?

Lordmozilla has some guides (his blog) on getting XBMC working under Moblin (previous name/version of MeeGo), he might do one for MeeGo eventually so I'd keep an eye out.

Meego == Moblin? If so, then there's not an insignificant chance that someone out there is already working on the project. Probably not a dev, since they're all pretty busy, but one of the crazily active community members.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

I'm actually working on writing a howto. It's not that hard, probably easier than on moblin.

Meego netbook is nearly moblin.

I'm looking forward to it! Meego looks promising, with xbmc it would be very nice...

Quote:Warning : my hal package does NOT work properly. It's simply compiled for a dependancy purposes. Look at the Arch Linux xbmc-svn package build in the AUR on how to remove it.

FYI: since r29991 HAL is not more needed (also not for dependancy purposes) if you have DeviceKit-disks/ udisks installed. Simply disable HAL with:
Code:
--disable-hal

That's great news! Shame I didn't know before Nerd

I changed the instructions a little to follow this. I'll retry the compilation when I get the time just to check this works.

Here's the youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7KTyfBQU9Y
