i am cross-compiling Kodi for the device Librem5 with PureOS10 (a Debian10 fork) on arm64.

i could build it successful but not with no sound.
In Kodi Settings/System/Audio i see only a PipeWire device.

Unfortunately PureOS10 supports only PulseAudio and not PipeWire.

how do i enable PulseAudio in compile process?
by default it's off

kodi configure:
-- Could NOT find PulseAudio (missing: PULSEAUDIO_LIBRARY PULSEAUDIO_MAINLOOP_LIBRARY PULSEAUDIO_SIMPLE_LIBRARY PULSEAUDIO_INCLUDE_DIR)

-- PULSEAUDIO enabled: No

any help is much appreciated!

that looks like it couldnt find the pulseaudio development packages

so maybe....

sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev pulseaudio apulse

de-selecting PipeWire did the trick

make -C /home/purism/kodi/source/xbmc/tools/depends/target/cmakebuildsys BUILD_DIR=/home/purism/kodi/build/ CMAKE_EXTRA_ARGUMENTS="-DENABLE_CEC=OFF -DENABLE_PIPEWIRE=OFF"

now I'm having some problems with addons.

The Kodi add-on repository and the added Kodinerds addon repository show me "Could not connect to repository"!
I also compiled the pvr.hts addon and it doesn't show up either!

What do I miss here?
Do I need to set an environment VAR?

the build folder created by compile i have copied to
$HOME/kodi/

purism@pureos:~/kodi$ ls -rtlha | grep -i '^d'

on first startup Kodi has created
$HOME/.kodi/

i dont know where to put the pvr.hts addon so that it shows up in Kodi,
neither i don't know how to make kodi default repo work?


i need some help please!

that's my Kodi startup script to start Kodi in none default path location

    #!/bin/bash

    export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0
    export SSL_CERT_FILE=/home/purism/kodi/cacert.pem
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu:/home/purism/kodi/build/opt/xbmc-deps/aarch64-none-linux-gnu-release/lib
    export LIBDIR="/home/purism/kodi/opt/xbmc-deps/aarch64-none-linux-gnu-release/lib"

    export prefix="/home/purism/kodi/opt/xbmc-deps/aarch64-none-linux-gnu-release"
    export exec_prefix="/home/purism/kodi/opt/xbmc-deps/aarch64-none-linux-gnu-release"
    export datarootdir="/home/purism/kodi/opt/xbmc-deps/aarch64-none-linux-gnu-release/share"

    /home/purism/kodi/kodi.bin "$@"

this works for Kodi alone.

still figuring out how to tell Kodi the paths of binary addons like pvr.hts.

[adamNo]

copying the pvr.hts libs to
~/kodi/addons/pvr.hts/pvr.hts.so
~/kodi/kodi.bin

made the addon works!
