[SOLVED] Help building XBMC eden-pre

[zeke]

Can anyone help me build XBMC 11.0?

I am trying to follow instructions here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HO ... ource_code

I have the current version from git.

$git pull <---returns 'Already up to date'
$make clean
make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop.
Also,
$ ./bootstrap
./bootstrap: line 5: autoreconf: command not found

These are the instructions for updating. You are presumably doing a fresh install.

Also,
$ ./bootstrap
./bootstrap: line 5: autoreconf: command not found

You need to install the autoconf package.

Code: Select all

urpmi autoconf


(as root) should fix this. You may find you need to install other packages - urpmf helps find the package name if you only know the missing file name.

You missed an important step, installing all required dependencies: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HO ... u_packages
The easiest wqy to do this would be to download the src.frpm, f.ex. from ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/mirrors/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/SRPMS/core/release/xbmc-10.1-1.pvr.4.mga2.src.rpm
and then in a terminal change to the folder where you've downloaded it, and as root do

Code: Select all

urpmi --buildrequires ./xbmc-10.1-1.pvr.4.mga2.src.rpm

I already have 10.1 installed from the mageia repo, so I think this is in fact an upgrade?

Doktor, would using the link you provided work even though I am trying to upfgrade to 11.0, rather than 10.1?

Shouldn't I already have all of these packages (for 10.1) since I already have the 10.1 rpm installed and working?

No - you haven't built from source before, so this is a first time build.

No - what you have installed is a pre-built (binary) package. You are now trying to build from source, which means you need to install all the tools required to build the package.

OK, so far so good,

Still cant execute
$make clean
make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop.

But I did get all the dependencies installed as well as autoconf and automake
and then I fail here:

$ ./bootstrap
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force
autoreconf: configure.in: tracing
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
configure.in:439: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

I found in the wiki that a libtool error can be fixed by running autoreconf...but that fails:
$ autoreconf
configure.in:12: required file `build-aux/config.guess' not found
configure.in:12: `automake --add-missing' can install `config.guess'
configure.in:12: required file `build-aux/config.sub' not found
configure.in:12: `automake --add-missing' can install `config.sub'
configure.in:11: required file `build-aux/install-sh' not found
configure.in:11: `automake --add-missing' can install `install-sh'
configure.in:11: required file `build-aux/missing' not found
configure.in:11: `automake --add-missing' can install `missing'
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1


So this is the advice from the wiki:
libtool issues

Libtool archives (*.la) contain a list of the used libraries, recursively. Default libtool specificies all those libraries explicitly, even for dynamic linking. This is fixed using a patch from debian.

However, usually software bundles their own libtool. One way to update it is to run "autoreconf" before configure. But it sometimes fail, so Mandriva has a script "fix-libtool-overlinking" called in %configure and %configure2_5x

I have nop idea what that even means....

[doktor5000]

Try to run autoreconf -isfv, then ./bootstrap, then ./configure, and if that succeeds, continue with make.

[zeke]

$ autoreconf -isfv
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force
autoreconf: configure.in: tracing
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
configure.in:439: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

Works fine here. Maybe you need to install libtool?

BTW: Would be nice if you could use Code-Tags, that's the Code-button above the forum editor.

Ok, I will use the Code button from now on.

I did need to install libtool, and that got me to the ./configure step. But this is failing because of of a missing library:
the yaj library.

So I installed argyllcms-1.1.0-3.mga1.x86_64.rpm (and it's dependency, lib64icc2-2.12-1.1.mga1.x86_64.rpm) because it says it provides lib64yaj.so.0, but ./configure still fails with the same error. How do I get this library?

[doktor5000]

lib64yaj.so.0 != lib64yajl.so which you'd need. You would need to rebuild yajl from cauldron, as f.ex.:

Code: Select all

wget ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/mirrors/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/SRPMS/core/release/yajl-2.0.4-1.mga2.src.rpm   <-- (as normal user)
urpmi --buildrequires yajl-2.0.4-1.mga2.src.rpm   <-- (as root)
rpmbuild --rebuild yajl-2.0.4-1.mga2.src.rpm   <-- (as normal user)

and then install the resulting packages, libyajl and libyajl-devel, they should be in /home/username/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586 (or x86_64)

Once again, thank you so much!

Got it built with your help.

SOLVED!
