Update xbmc from cvs
#1
Hi,

In fear of asking something that may have been answered many times allready.

Two simple questions that I could have just tried and failed or sucseeded.

1. After I've downed the latest CVS and compiled should I un-install before downloading again for the latest updates or just do the same as first install?

2. When using the latest CVS can I stil use apt-get for scripts and skins?

I know I should just try and see but hey easy questions easy answers.

Just do the following....

svn up
make clean
./configure
make -j2
sudo make install

I would do also a sudo make uninstall, as first step. Not a cruical test, but to be on the safe side. And obviously you have to be in the directory, where you have downloaded xbmc source.

So:

sudo make uninstall
svn up
make clean
./configure
make -j2
sudo make install

or, if you want to revert:

sudo make uninstall
svn up -r xxxxx
make clean
./configure
make -j2
sudo make install

where xxxxx is obiosuly the revision number, which you want to revert

FWIW - Never had any problems not doing the uninstall.

Ditto! I have yet to ever do this. I have had things go wonky once or twice but uninstall usually didn't help then either. <shrug>

Does anyone know the procedure to definitively uninstall the version compiled from SVN to revert back too packaged builds?

Do I just

Code:
sudo make uninstall


And then re-download from the repos?
