System: Debian 8.4 32bit

Tried to compile Jarvis after http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_Kod..._or_Ubuntu, stuck at "LIBDCADEC" as described above.

I don't see anything on the wiki at that link. There might be a different solution, by now, but, since I started this thread and found a solution for its topic problem, I'll just comment on that.

Problem: There is no installable libdcadec-dev for Debian Jessie.

It's been a while since I solved my problem but in the README I linked in OP, at that time, there was an instruction for generating dcadec.pc from the git sources of kodi:

$ make -C tools/depends/target/crossguid PREFIX=/usr/local

as I said. I haven't run into a need for libdcadec-dev

After that, thanks to owrjeyz, I found I had to put dcadec.pc where pkgconfig will find it: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2104485

"I copied dcadec.pc to /usr/share/pkgconfig/ and that got configure past this roadblock."

# cp tools/depends/target/libdcadec/native/dcadec.pc /usr/share/pkgconfig/

Of course, if your pkgconfig path is different, I would expect that path to be used. IDK, that is how I solved my problem with "./configure fails at libdcadec not found"

Hello and thx for your feedback!

Right now Debian is configuring...

I followed fritschs hint: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2114744

and apt-get installed in addition:
ffmpeg gnutls devscripts

I had to compile
dcadec
crossguid

via https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archiv.../+packages
and with "debuild -b -uc -us"

I installed further:
TagLib 1.10 from here: https://taglib.github.io/

I followed the instructions in the following link, but must have missed that they were deprecated...
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_Kod..._or_Ubuntu

...but the new instructions appear empty: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_XBMC_for_Debian

So far so good, would be nice if someone could write down new compiling instructions for debian.

What about you? You can register for a wiki account.

My knowledge is limited with compiling.
I would suggest to provide an debian repo, wouldnt that appear to be an good idea for you? Theres an ubuntu ppa already, right?

More work for us. And debian stable is most of the time totally useless for multimedia anyways, therefore a little minority of our users uses it.
