I am trying to build alpha3 specifying a local tarball for fstrcmp, but I must be specifying the syntax incorrectly because cmake cannot find it:

Code:

...

Like ffmpeg, fmt, crossguid, and the other components, I am pre-downloading the source tarballs and specifying it like this:

Code:

pkgbase=kodi-pre-release
pkgname=("kodi-${pkgbase#kodi-*}" "kodi-eventclients-${pkgbase#kodi-*}" "kodi-tools-texturepacker-${pkgbase#kodi-*}" "kodi-dev-${pkgbase#kodi-*}")

I stumbled over something similar lately as I couldn't compile Kodi on Ubuntu as well.

While using Ubuntu I had to install fstrcmp-devel as a build-dep. After that everything worked as expected.

I too verified that if I build fstrcmp and install it on the build machine, I am able to build a3, but my goal is to avoid introducing an extra build dep.  As well, for Arch Linux and Arch ARM, there is not an official package for fstrcmp.  Is there any possibility of using the sourcetarball method to accomplish this?

if you pass -DENABLE_INTERNAL_FSTRCMP=1 to cmake while configuring kodi it will download and build inline. unless you have network restrictions that should the easiest solution (barring cross compiling ickyness, can't guarantee how well it will work in that case, not tested).

it will use the URL you pass in there as well.

[Rechi]

You miss -DENABLE_INTERNAL_FSTRCMP=ON (like you have done for fmt), setting FSTRCMP_URL doesn't automatically enable the internal build. Have a look at https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...rcmp.cmake.

@spiff @Rechi -  Yes, thank you both.  Adding the line works (built with network cable unplugged as a test of downloading externals).
