Linux HOW-TO compile XBMC from a GIT source

X3lectric · 2011-07-22 21:36

desktop is more forgiving than xbmc-live you also dont need to install xbcm-live... I been asking in IRC about your woes, and so far no luck.

when you do

add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstable

it automatically grabs the keys but none the less its worth a shot in xbmc-live only this time I would ask you to install the version 10.0 not 10.1

anyways if you can get into chat or something Im willing to go through this shit with you. send me a pm with your msn e-mail or your preferred chat.

at leats it comiples with desktop this stupid thing is doing my head in.

hi,

i got it working! i had a feeling after playing with the desktop that adding the lines to sources.list might not be needed.

So, here is what i did, after making root passwd.

Code:

apt-get update

stop xbmc-live

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

add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstable

apt-get update

apt-get install 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

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

make install prefix=/usr

start xbmc-live

and it worked. thanks for all your help!

Your serious? really?

I'll be dammed, adding the lines to sources.list is what mad eit work here for build-dep...

Ill revise the instructions based on your imput and revise script, it should be up in a while.

X3lectric · 2011-07-22 23:27

btw can you compile libnfs as well and still works?

X3lectric · 2011-07-23 00:09

NOTICE:

Main compile instructions been updated to remove the addition of the ppa to sources list via echo command as this was reported by Neil as being the cause for recent compile associated issues.

The script also contains these modifications.

Both script and manula compile instructions still build Libnfs by default, if you dont wnat it or need it please feel free to remove it.

thanks to Neil for his perseverance on this, even though I couldn't reproduce problem.

I hope this helps other users having similar issues.

The struggle goes on...

Thanks again Neil for the heads up.

neil.j1983 · 2011-07-23 00:24

i hope you don't mind, but for a few days i'm gonna leave it as it is!

next time (probably a week or so) i'll do it with the libnfs compile too.

X3lectric · 2011-07-23 01:21

No I dont mind mate its up to you, you only need to compile NFS if you have use for it...

I dont wanna pressure you please don't get the wrong idea.

Ill be here, gimme a holler btw I rep you up before check you user cp

Im glad it was simpler to solve and Im glad that you have it working... Trully.

neil.j1983 · 2011-07-23 12:14

did a compile of gnif's audio engine, that compiled fine.
and did a compile including libnfs, that works fine.

regards.

X3lectric · 2011-07-23 13:12
