XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - Kafluke - 2012-05-21 I have successfully setup my Android Tablet to dual boot an ICS ROM and Ubuntu Oneiric. I did this with the sole intent of installing XBMC on the linux boot so I can have XBMC running on a tablet. I can't seem to get it to install. Here is a screenshot of the error: RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - john.cord - 2012-05-22 Because XBMC wont run on an ARM Android Tablet. RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - Kafluke - 2012-05-22 Well that's too bad. It will run on a raspberry pi why not something with more power? Is is just the fact that nobody has compiled the code for it? Sorry, I'm not trying to be cynical I just truly don't know how it all works. RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - john.cord - 2012-05-22 EDIT: There IS a XBMC for Tegra... RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - Kafluke - 2012-05-22 "Only a Sith deals in absolutes" BTW, you understand that I'm trying to install this on Ubuntu Linux right? Not Android? So what I'm running is a ARM Linux tablet, not a ARM Android Tablet. RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - wsnipex - 2012-05-22 There is XBMC for arm, but launchpad ppas don't provide arm packages. You'll need to compile from source or find some prebuilt xbmc package for your processor. RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - Prof Yaffle - 2012-05-22 There's clearly "XBMC for ARM" because there's XBMC for Raspberry Pi and this uses an ARM11 (ARMv6 codeset) processor. The ASUS Transformer uses an NVidia Tegra 2 chip which is ARMv7. So... wsnipex has the answer I'd pursue... and post back how you get on, you may be missing libraries that you'll also have to source/adapt/compile. But you've really whet my appetite here, and I'm off to look at the XDA Developers' forum... :-) RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - Kafluke - 2012-05-22 All you'll find inside the XDA Dev forum on this is me linking to this thread. I'm not a programmer so I don't know how to compile. I can follow steps though easily enough. If I could get this thing to run XBMC it would truly be the ULTIMATE hand held device. (Dual boot with XBMC and Android are you kidding me?) RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - Kafluke - 2012-05-22 Okay so I downloaded and installed "Sourcery CodeBench Lite Edition for ARM GNU/Linux" (cross-compiler) on my Ubuntu x86 laptop. Now I guess I need the xbmc source code? Is that right? I'm a complete idiot and really have no idea what I'm doing. RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - Kafluke - 2012-05-22 *update* Okay, I've downloaded and installed a cross compiler for ARM on my Linux PC. I've followed http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Compile_XBMC_for_Linux#Getting_the_source_code guide to get the XBMC source code. Now my "linux buddy" is telling me that I have to point "./configure" to my newly installed cross compiler. How do I do that? (He's gone home for the day). So in this guide I'm on the step that says "Default compile and install". I've stopped there and haven't gone any further. RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - FishOil - 2012-05-23 You did a sudo apt-get update before trying to install right? RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - Kafluke - 2012-05-23 Yes. RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - Kafluke - 2012-05-23 Okay so here's XBMC running on a Tegra2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3xZCd0XUPQ and more info on Tegra 2 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=98211 RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - Kafluke - 2012-05-24 I can't get a cross compiler to work so I'm now trying to compile xbmc directly on the transformer. LOL, I doubt this will work. RE: XBMC on Asus Transformer android tablet - Kafluke - 2012-05-24 Following this guide: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Compile_XBMC_for_Linux I'm on this step: Code: Here is the magic command to get the build dependencies (used to compile the version on the PPA). After running this command I get this output Code: Reading package lists... Done I've looked and looked and can't figure out how to install "libcec-dev". I've added the Pulse Eight PPA and tried to install libcec-dev and it can't find the package to install. I don't know how to get past this. |
