Full Version: Cleanest way to compile/upgrade XBMCbuntu Eden to include one patch?

I've installed XBMCbuntu Eden (final) and it's working great, but ticket #12231 wasn't included and so my iPhone/iPad QuickTime movies are played upside-down.

What's the cleanest method of recompiling my own version of XBMC Eden?

I've completely compatible of grabbing, patching, and compiling the source but I'd prefer not to clutter my system with development build dependencies, etc. Ideally I'd just like to recompile the xbmc binary (on another machine?) and then just copy it to the XBMCbuntu box.

Is that possible?

EDIT: So I've performed the following actions:

1) Added deb-src to apt for xbmc
2) apt-get install dpkg-dev
3) apt-get source xbmc
4) apt-get build-dep xbmc
5) ./configure... (using same options from buildlog.txt on launchpad)
6) make

However, the binary (xbmc.bin) that is created is a different size that what's included with XBMCbuntu. Shouldn't this be the same since it should have been compiled exactly the same way? My new binary WORKS and I can simply swap it out on my other XBMCbuntu machine but I'm not sure what might break if I continue to use it...
