Hi Guys,

I'm trying to build from source on Fedora Core 15, having pulled direct from github, and I'm getting a compilation error.

Code:
g++ -fPIC -fPIC -DPIC -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -D_DEBUG -Wall -O2  -shared -o /home/lucas/Downloads/xbmc/addons/screensaver.rsxs.solarwinds/Solarwinds.xbs ../src/solarwinds/*.o ../src/common.o ../src/color.o ../lib/libmisc.a -lXmu

I know it's expected of bleeding edge stuff, but most tutorials seem to recommend pulling direct from the HEAD. I tried a few different revisions, but seemed to get similar issues - is there a certain revision/tag that I should be using? Or a prebuilt rpm or something?

Cheers

Hi,
xbmc is not a fault, fedora's yajl-devel package is.
Edit /usr/include/yajl/yajl_version.h
Replace
#define YAJL_MAJOR ${YAJL_MAJOR}
#define YAJL_MINOR ${YAJL_MINOR}
#define YAJL_MICRO ${YAJL_MICRO}
with
#define YAJL_MAJOR 1
#define YAJL_MINOR 0
#define YAJL_MICRO 11

Otherwise, you can also edit xbmc code.. changing the preprocessor condition.

I have submitted a bug report to Fedora's bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=714659

What you can do instead of modifying the include file is to update your yajl* packages to rawhide (yum --enablerepo=rawhide update yajl*), it's fixed there.

Thanks - that worked!

Doh! not being a C/C++ guy, I didn't think to actually try and debug it - pretty obvious now - thanks!!

This should be taken care of in 71f5fa909908ac68f002ccb3868246341c9e4a08 if it doesn't please state full build log failing in ticket #11609

EDIT: Oh, just saw about the defines. Well those are surely wrong, so seems to be fedoras fault. Thanks for submitting a ticket to them!

I'm compiling xbmc from git right now and thought I should point this also applies to yajl-devel on Mandriva 2011.0
