Linux HOW-TO compile XBMC from a GIT source

Big_Noid · 2011-08-29 17:43

There is a wrong code in the first post:

Q) Some dependencies been added to script, should I start again?
A) No need, just add the dependencies that have changed or as below.
Code:

apt-get install install libboost-thread-dev libyajl-dev libplist-dev

there is an extra install there.

Hello Every1

I saw some errors in the code and script.

Edit the Script with Notepad or on Linux with Nano.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

NUMPARAMS=1

if [ $# -lt "$NUMPARAMS" ]

then

    echo

    echo "Usage: $0 <upgrade / refresh>"

    echo

    echo "-- UPGRADE = MUST RUN FIRST (& ONLY ONCE) - (Setup build environment and install required Dependencies, then DOWNLOADS XBMC GIT)"

    echo "-- refresh = RUN THEREAFTER to update existing XBMC GIT COMPILE to latest version"

    echo

else

S1="upgrade"

S2="refresh"

    if [ $1 = $S1 ]

    then

        stop xbmc-live

        apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config -y

        add-apt-repository ppa:team-iquik/xbmc-stable

        apt-get update

        apt-get install libplist-dev python-support python-dev ccache libyajl-dev libvdpau-dev debhelper zip git-core make g++ gcc gawk pmount libtool yasm nasm automake cmake gperf gettext unzip bison libsdl-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-gfx1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libfribidi-dev liblzo2-dev libfreetype6-dev libsqlite3-dev libogg-dev libasound-dev python-sqlite libglew-dev libcurl3 libcurl4-openssl-dev x11proto-xinerama-dev libxinerama-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev libmad0-dev libogg-dev libvorbisenc2 libsmbclient-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpcre3-dev libdbus-1-dev libhal-dev libhal-storage-dev libjasper-dev libfontconfig-dev libbz2-dev libboost-dev libfaac-dev libenca-dev libxt-dev libxtst-dev libxmu-dev libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libpulse-dev mesa-utils libcdio-dev libsamplerate-dev libmms-dev libmpeg3-dev libfaad-dev libflac-dev libiso9660-dev libass-dev libssl-dev fp-compiler gdc libwavpack-dev libmpeg2-4-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libmodplug-dev libboost-thread-dev -y -q

        apt-get build-dep xbmc -y

        mkdir ~/setup

        cd $HOME/setup

        git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git

        cd $HOME/setup/xbmc

        make -C lib/libnfs && sudo make -C lib/libnfs install

        ./bootstrap ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-vdpau --disable-pulse --disable-crystalhd ; make -j4

        make -C lib/addons/script.module.pil

        make install prefix=/usr

        start xbmc-live

    else  if [ $1 = $S2 ]

        then

            stop xbmc-live

            cd $HOME/setup/xbmc

            make distclean

            git reset --hard

            git clean -xfd

            git pull --rebase

            make -C lib/libnfs && sudo make -C lib/libnfs install

            ./bootstrap ; ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-vdpau --disable-pulse --disable-crystalhd ; make -j4

            make -C $HOME/setup/xbmc/lib/addons/script.module.pil

            make install prefix=/usr

            start xbmc-live

        else

                echo

                echo "Usage: $0 <upgrade / update>"

                echo

                echo "-- upgrade = full setup (setup GIT, build environment, etc)"

                echo "-- refresh = update existing XBMC GIT COMPILE to latest version"

                echo

        fi

There is a little Bug in this really nice Tutorial ;-)

Q) Can I compile XBMC with airplay support support?
A) Yes since today apparently 23rd Aug 2011

How to:

FIRST:

Code:

Quote:cd $HOME/setup/xbmc/lib/libshairport
make
make install

SECOND:

Add this to the ./configure Line in the Script :-)

Code:

Quote:./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-vdpau --disable-pulse --enable-libshairport

FINISH:

Update with the modded script & enjoy AirPlay Laugh

This is falling over @

Code:

make -C lib/addons/script.module.pil

for me.

Also the OP has an error. Under Step 1 -

Code:

cd $HOME/setup

I think should be

Code:

cd $HOME/setup/xbmc

But I think is going to go obsolete as the OP was by a now Closed Account...?

Hi Experts,

I´ve installed Ubuntu 10.04, pulled the latest GIT-Source-Code and compiled successfully. (BTW, I´m a noob).

Now I would like to change the name of XBMC ("XBMC Media Center") to "XBMC-Kids" (or "XBMC-Adults"). What do I have to do for this?
It would be great, if someone could help me with this.

(2. "nested" question: How do I create a live-cd out of this compiled version?)

Thanks in advance for the help.

Greetings,
Umer

is this script safe to use with beta3 ?

amirite · 2012-02-21 20:32

I used this a month or two ago to update an XBMC Live install to Beta 2. Since doing that last (about a month ago) the git compile fails with a make file error, so I can only imagine that beta3 broke this script as-is. Maybe we're missing some dependancies.

For what it's worth, XBMCbuntu seems to make this script obsolete anyway.

Why would XBMCBuntu make this script obsolete? Has anyone written a similar guide for how to compile from git over XBMCBuntu?

I need that guide! I am using xbmcbuntu off the bat but I want to update via git (to keep up with current releases). Is there a guide for this? I noticed that the guide mentioned in the first post refers to XBMC live and not XBMCBuntu. Please advise.

The guide should work fine in ANY Linux perhpas the op is using xbmc-live which if it is not installed the cmd will return something like "not found"

Though it is outdated (because dependecies) which anyone can add to the list and use it.

It is what it is a GUIDE not a abosolute.

Install commonsense_lib1 and enjoy.
