Hi,

This is my first post on this forum, so please excuse me I there is any mistake on my side. I am new to Mac OS X, I am trying to compile XBMC source code for which I have to install Samba 3.0.28 (downloaded from http://news.samba.org/releases/3.0.28/). When I try to configure samba source code it configure but when I try to compile it generates following error
{{{"Compiling lib/smbreadline/smbreadline.c

The following command failed:

Can some help me out in sorting out the above problem.

First question is why Samba 3.0.28 when Samba 3.2.8 is present in the xbmc macports depends?

See http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-port-depends/ on how to install a macports that is compatible with the xbmc build system.

[ravishankar]

Hi Sir,

I have tried to install port form the link which you have provided and continued form step 3.1 given in link (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...ource_code), but was not able to compile the xbmc source code. I also tried to start the hole procedure of installing ports, but this time around I was getting following error while installing libsdl package
{{{

Forget that wiki link, it's old and out dated.

follow http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-port-depends/

step 7 says to continue with step 3.1 in README.osx.

Also, you must have 10.4SDK installed, we don't support any other build method at this time.

If you follow the above link and the README.osx to the letter, then you will get XBMC building. If you deviate, the build will fail.

[ravishankar]

Hi Sir,

The link which you have provided is exactly the same as the previous one,
previous one :- http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-port-depends/
Now : http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-port-depends/
Please provide me with both the links which I should follow to compile the source code.
I have 10.4 SDK installed.

The link YOU quotes (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...ource_code) is out of date.

Follow http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-port-depends, the last step (step 7) tells you to continue at continue with step 3.1 in README.osx.

If you have done this, then pastebin the output of

./bootstrap
./configure
make
and config.log

Hi Sir,

I have tried to follow the instructions given in the corresponding documents provided by you but was not able to install mac port 1.7.1 as I have (Intel based) Mac OS X 10.6.4. I try to install mac ports 1.7.1 using source code form xbmc-port-depends-read-only it compile but generate error while make install when searched about this error I got this link (http://www.celsius1414.com/2007/05/07/ho...stallation) I have tried suggestion given in this link but end up with same error elaborated below. When I try to install mac port 1.7.1 using installer then it prompts that this mac port can only be installed on mac os x 10.5.x. I have tried to build the source code by installing mac port 1.9.1 ever thing goes smoothly until I execute "sudo port -f install samba3 macosx_deployment_target=10.4". It gives following error.

Again, any other macports version but the one at http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-port-depends/ will NOT work. That page describes why.

"I try to install mac ports 1.7.1 using source code form xbmc-port-depends-read-only it compile but generate error while make install" -> you did not restore the gcc to the default. Step 5) mentions this " However, remember that macports itself needs to be built using the xxx-4.2 version or it will fail when doing "make install"" That means make the symlinks to xxx-4.2 for install of macports, then to xxx-4.0 for building the actual macports ports.

[ravishankar]

Hi Sir,

Yes, you are right I forgot change the gcc complier to default. Now the mac port compiles with out error but I have another problem in the readme.osx I can't make out what value to in place of "ppc i386"
c) change "universal_archs ppc i386"
to reflect the arch you are building by removing the unused arch.
When I try to install ports without making changes then
sudo port install pcre +universal, generates error where as sudo port install pcre compiles with out error.
I have also tried out universal mode with universal set to x86_64 i386, but it generates error while installation.

if you are building for OSX ppc, remove the i386, if you are building for OSX intel, remove the ppc. Do NOT use x86_64, 64 bit builds are not supported. Do you see anything in the guides about using x86_64? No, do not stray from the guides and add random bits unless you fully understand the build process.

Hi Sir,

Finally I was able to compile XBMC, this was only possible because of your able and precise guidelines. Sir one last request can you please suggest me some tutorials which can help me exploring XCODE and MAC. Thanks one again for your guidance, is there any point system in this forum as in stack over flow.

google "xcode tutorial", there are plenty of guides out there.

XBMC is two parts, 1) the main binary app and 2) the various internal/external libs and their support. "make xcode_depends" builds support for 2), the xcode project is used to build 1). The xcode project is also used to package XBMC and it's various bits into an XBMC.app container.

I have followed the instruction given in this thread but was not able to compile the source code, can some suggest me where am I going wrong. I got error below when executed command (sudo port install pcre +universal) I also swithed between the compliers 4.2 and 4.0.
