Hi!
I set up a Raspbian system on my RPI. But I am not able to build
XBMC on it, not even configuring.

Code:

checking for main in -lgpg-error... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library.

libgpg-error and the -dev package is present. However it seems not
to be found by the configure script.
Are the modifications presented here still necessary?
http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianXBMC
First I tried without any modifications, only ./bootstrap and

Code:

./configure --with-platform=raspberry-pi --disable-gl --enable-gles
--disable-vaapi --disable-vdpau

I tried it with the modifications and got the same error as above.
However I checked out the main branch, not xbmc-rbp.

You're trying to compile XBMC on the R-Pi itself? I hear that takes a loooooooooooooooooooong time to finish. Which doesn't answer your question, but I just thought I would mention it (I'm a bit of a compile noob).

Yes, I wanna compile it pin the pi itself. I don't want to set up
a toolchain. It could compile overnight. But I wonder, why
libgpg-error is not found.

Post your config.log, it will hopefully explain exactly what is going on. "checking for xxx ... no" is never the whole truth.

About 12 hours or so to be exact

That said, I somehow lost the ability to compile it on the newest Raspbian

checking for main in -ldl... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.

Hi guys,
I know is an old post , but I have the same error:

checking gcrypt.h presence... yes
checking for gcrypt.h... yes
checking for main in -lgpg-error... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.


And if I execute: "sudo apt-get install libgpg-error-dev" the result is:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libgpg-error-dev is already the newest version.

Somebody knows how to fix this?
Please let me know.

Thank you
