I'm building kodi/master on linux/64,

            [videoplayer] reset VideoCodecInfo in CProcessInfo constructor

        commit fd00a12a838810e1575cfd8861dc3039e5dbfdf5

configure + build looks ok, until late linking steps.

currently fails at

Digging around re:

Code:

    CServiceManager::Init1(): error: undefined reference to 'CPlatform::CreateInstance()'

I think this is causing my issue

Code:

    [platform] - add unique hardware identifier as info label #10543
     https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/10543#issuecomment-249412529

That thread ends,

Code:

    https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/10543#issuecomment-255586521
        "... This code is not merged and likely will not be merged until both a team consensus on scope and size and a public involvement on the forum has taken place.  ..."

Assuming that's the relevant issue here (is it?), until it's resolved, what's the workaround for now?

IS there a cmd-line config, or manual edit, that'll fix this?

Or do I need to drop back to a particular source rev?

1st walking backwards through tags, 17.0b2 appears to be before the ~Sep19-24th commits that start causing this issue.

17.0b2 won't configure without error, lacking

Code:

    https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/247b43a48c5b576df90f04353a07e32002e198cf

OTOH, 17.0b3 includes that^ commit, and gets a sane configure, but build fails as reported above,

Code:

...
libkodi.a(ServiceManager.cpp.o):ServiceManager.cpp:function CServiceManager::Init1(): error: undefined reference to 'CPlatform::CreateInstance()'

and, no surprise, so do 17.0b4 & 17.0b5.

Unless you patched kodi with the UUID PR yourself, it cannot be the problem, since it is not in master...

Pastebin a full build log and your CMakeCache.txt

Not intentionally ...

something is off there, your system doesn't compile platform_common.a, which contains the symbol.
Are you sure you are compiling kodi master, without any patches?

did you already try a clean build?

Code:

git fetch
git reset --hard origin/master
git clean -xfd

then build again

yep, master. no patches.

And I reset & clean each time, unless I do a completely new/clean checkout ...

p.s. just re-did a sanity check. starting from clean checkout. same issue ...

[PGNd]

@wsnipex

your system doesn't compile platform_common.a

With that hint, I can get a complete build if I change my long-standing cmake config, enabling static libs

Code:

    cmake \
    ...
    -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1 \
-    -DENABLE_STATIC_LIBS=0 \
+    -DENABLE_STATIC_LIBS=1 \
    ...

With that change, I get to

Code:

...
gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/dev/src/kodi/build'
[100%] Built target kodi
gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/dev/src/kodi/build'

cmake STATIC_LIBS == 1 has not been previously needed.

What's changed that it is now?

Or is this actually a bug?

[wsnipex]

hmm, guess you found a bug.

Yep, that's a bug: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/10897
Thanks for reporting.
