Was following this guide to compile a new version of Kodi to run on my Fedora 19 box

http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_Kod...Hat/CentOS

I cloned the source from git,
after I issued the command
./configure --with-lirc-device=/var/run/lirc/lircd

I got this error

checking for UUID... yes
checking "for libcrossguid"... configure: error: crossguid not found

So is there a package for crossguid/libcrossguid to be installed for this compilation?

Cheers,

Vince

Hello friends:

I have the same issue and compiled crossguid, as shown here:

Code:

$ make -C tools/depends/target/crossguid PREFIX=/opt/KODI.d/

However, as you can see, my destination is /opt/KODI.d not /usr/local. Consequently, I still get this error:

Code:

checking "for libcrossguid"... configure: error: crossguid not found

So what environment variable(s) and/or option(s) to the ./configure command do I provide to find it here:

/opt/KODI.d/lib/libcrossguid.a <--- this is where it is.

I've tried various things (setting environment variables; symlinks to /usr/local; etc), but nothing that works.

Thank you in advance! =: )

We changed to cmake and removed autotools, documentation can be found directly on github.

I'm new to cmake too

Got a link to the documentation ? I'm looking at https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/tree/master/project/cmake and I've got it building okay I think, just don't actually know how to install it after building...

I'm using

Code:

sudo cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCPACK_GENERATOR=DEB -D DEBIAN_PACKAGE_TYPE=nightly kodi/project/cmake/

sudo cmake --build . -- VERBOSE=1 -j$(nproc)  # or: make VERBOSE=1 -j$(nproc)

Thanks for answers,
I tried luna_s command
sudo cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCPACK_GENERATOR=DEB -D DEBIAN_PACKAGE_TYPE=nightly kodi/project/cmake/

and running in another error:

Can it be more clear?

Could NOT find GIF (missing: GIF_LIBRARY GIF_INCLUDE_DIR)

Check the Readme on which packages to install before trying to compile ...
