I mirrored the debian rules from the PPA and everything seemed to kick off ok, but in the FFMPEG piece had trouble copying a directory. Seems a directory is not set, or something else.

Code:

Code:

make[1]: Entering directory '/build/kodi-17.0+git+bsos'
ls: cannot access tools/depends/target/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-*.tar.gz: No such file or directory

you have to actually download the ffmpeg tarball before building. This is a workaround for build services that do not allow net access during build stage.
run https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...tobuild.sh -d

If you can download during build stage, just remove the FFMPEG_URL override from debian/rules. Same for libdvd stuff

I took a peek at the build log on Launchpad, which downloads the tarballs into those expected locations under the depends directory. Strange though, the ffmpeg download was not there, i'll have to do a double check before I kick off the build.

Code:

wget -O "${SRC_DIR}/tools/depends/target/ffmpeg/3.1.6-Krypton.tar.gz" "https://github.com/xbmc/FFmpeg/archive/3.1.6-Krypton.tar.gz" -nc -q --show-progres

Hopefully that is all it takes. Thank you wsnipex, I appreaciate it.

Ah. I had made a mistake, I noticed launchpad set '3.1.6-Krypton.tar.gz', but the rules file was looking for a string that started with ffmpeg. renamed it.

as said above, better use autobuild.sh -d, since that will always download the correct version.
