Hi,

Unfortunately I just jumped on the Mac bandwagon. How do I compile Kodi for OS X 10.11.4? I'm following the README.osx, but at the first make I get errors.

Thanks for any help! The only reason I got a Mac was to build my Philips Hue music visualization for you guys.

Which kodi branch and which xcode Version are you using?

[hardyt]

@Memphiz: Jarvis, Xcode 7.3

[Memphiz]

well jarvis can't be compiled with xcode 7.3 - you would need to backport this commit to the jarvis branch and start from scratch:

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/4d5a...e41e9312b1

(you can simply "git cherry-pick 4d5a2b68173403da2117c62e9c8382e41e9312b1" it)

or you compile master which has this in already (but is krypton based then...)

[Memphiz]

ohh btw i know that the README.osx stated that xcode 7.x is supported - lesson learned. At the point of writing we had no issues with xcode 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 and i thought it would be save now. But as usual apple breaks things for us with xcode updates once in a while ...

[hardyt]

There must be something else to change:

Code:

../libtool: line 1298: func_opt_split: command not found
libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.2.6, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.4.6.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6
libtool: and run autoconf again.

make[3]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: *** [macosx10.11_x86_64-target/libmysql/.libs/libmysqlclient.a] Error 2
make[1]: *** [mysql] Error 2
make: *** [target/.installed-macosx10.11_x86_64-target] Error 2

Sorry, I just don't know enough to fix all this myself yet. If you have any additional points, please let me know. Thanks!

[Memphiz]

cherry-pick what i said then

Code:

git clean -xfd
rm -r /Users/Shared/xbmc-depends/buildtools-native

then follow the readme from the start

[hardyt]

@Memphiz: I ran those commands previously. I tried again and it still failed building the mysql lib. I downgraded to Xcode 7.2 and it built.

[Memphiz]

sorry then this one is needed too i guess - i wasn't around when libtool got bumped so i don't have an exact overview what else is needed but i guess thats it

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/1edf...97451dd1e8

https://github.com/MrMC/mrmc/commit/5f5f...afe794cca1

[Memphiz]

that one doesn't apply to kodi - kodi master is fine with the 2 commits i pointed out...

[MrMC]

of course it will not directly apply master is missing a few things plus all the libtool hacks can get removed if you patch libtool with those three patches. They are also safe for iOS and OSX.

[hardyt]

Thanks guys. I'll give it a shot now that this old macintosh seems to have a busted hard drive.
