Till recently I was able to compile new versions of Kodi with PVR support.
Kodi is installed on its normal location (prefix - default /usr/local)

After configure I do:

Code:

make -j2

Next step would be to build addons right?

Code:

make -C tools/depends/target/binary-addons PREFIX=/usr/local ADDONS="pvr.hts"

and last would be

Code:

make install

However while building the addons I get:

Code:

[ 75%] Performing configure step for 'pvr.hts'

WARNING: sudo rights needed to install to /usr

Even though I can supply the root password while installing the PVR addon is not working duhhh however what has changed recently?
In an other thread it is clear that I reinstalled everything yesterday, however on my old install it was not working either...

Found the problem, but I think this is something for the devs...

If I change the following line:

Code:

make -C tools/depends/target/binary-addons PREFIX=/usr/local ADDONS="pvr.hts"

into:

Code:

sudo make -C tools/depends/target/binary-addons PREFIX=/usr/local ADDONS="pvr.hts"

It is working and it does not give me the error anymore. Has something changed in the code?

yes, this is a bug.

[tudstudent]

Do I need to make a track bug report or does it already exist?

Feel free to create a ticket, I don't know when I'll find time to fix it though.
