sudo ./XBMC_upgrade_live.sh is OLD and Hasnt been uploaded/supported in main post in over a month or more.

secondly the script should be ran like.

Code:

sudo ./nameofscript.sh upgrade

and there after

Code:

sudo ./nameofscript.sh refresh

please read first post. Actually read it cause I have no idea where you got ./XBMC_upgrade_live.sh from

I already installed via compile and I'm trying to update. I copied your update code into XBMC_upgrade_live.sh and I tried running it like this:

Code:

sudo ./XBMC_upgrade_live.sh refresh

and got this:

michael@XBMCLive:~$ sudo ./XBMC_upgrade_live.sh refresh
[sudo] password for michael:
xbmc-live stop/waiting
make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'. Stop.

xbmc-live start/running, process 4872

I can't tell what I'm messing up. Thanks for your help.

ok you cant read

I said./XBMC_upgrade_live.sh IS OLD AND NO LONGER SUPPORTED (PLEASE READ FIRST POST)

Don't invent scripts

first

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4325533/XCI/xgb.sh; chmod +x xgb.sh

then sudo ./xgb.sh refresh

\\Edit if you wanted to put my second part into a script its would be

Code:

#!/bin/bash

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

make -j4

make install prefix=/usr

start xbmc-live

then saved, than chmoded then ran like

Code:

sudo ./nameofscript.sh

no need for adding anything elase because thers no options in there that are supported e.g. upgrade/refresh

those are EXCLUSIVE to the script version

X3lectric · 2011-08-23 19:49

also when you ran the first part did you run with sudo or root?

this is VERY important cause if you run with sudo the path where
cd $HOME/setup/xbmc is with sudo is not the same as when running as root.

this could account for

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

aslo sorry for the exceedgly big txt but I wnat to make sure you understand and read what and how and what your suppose to do, not invent ways of breaking what isnt broken...

Hope you get it fixed lemme know.

update

From today xbmc supports airplay

anyways new script and instructions already contains new dependency see this commit

for who isnt sure install it today

Code:

[SIZE=6]

[SIZE=2]apt-get install libplist-dev[/SIZE][/SIZE]

Apparently support has been added to IOS/OSX and Linux dont ask me about it I dont know anything.

The main post has been updated and so as script, but I already said that no?
