Well, As the thread subject says, I'm having issues compiling XBMC from source. For the past couple of months I've been trying to familiarize myself with XBMC's source code and build process (I'm understand the source structure better now but the build system is WAY over my head). I recently had to wipe out my Ubuntu install and now I'm having trouble getting the automated build system to work correctly. I've cloned the GIT repository as per the usual method, and I even wrote a very simple shell script to apt-get install all the dependencies listed in the README.linux, however after when I attempt to complete ./configure, system bitches at me and fails claiming that I don't have the nessary dependances... based on the following terminal output my guess it that it can't find curl.
However, I know for a fact that curl is installed and up-to-date...
Can someone please shine a little light on the subject, Like I say XBMC's build process is more complex than I am used to dealing with so I don't really know where to start, esp because like I said, I've installed all the packages that the README said are required.
Cheers,
