Hi all, i want install kodi version on my arch linux but only have xbmc 13.2 on repos how can i install the kodi version on Arch Linux?

Thx

You can build from the aur, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kodi-git/

or you can just build it yourself from git.

XBMC 13.2 is the latest stable Kodi version, if you're looking for stable.

13.2 is xbmc and not kodi.

This is no arch linux helpline, here. We have prebuild packages for Ubuntu. If you cannot manage Arch, don't use it.

Download and extract: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ko/ko...git.tar.gz
Run: makepkg -s -L
-s (Install missing dependencies with pacman)
-L (Log package build process) <-- This will tell you what went wrong. You were probably missing dependencies -s will install all the needed dependencies.
Thats it. Arch packages are easy to build

kodi-git needs a little update, you might want to try https://github.com/dhead666/archlinux-pk...i-snapshot

keep in mind that I only use the package for general testing and not on a production system (get OpenELEC for your HTPC), the service file wasn't updated recently, cec breaks the build process so it disabled, and it's possible that I might disabled other things so diff against kodi-git PKGBUILD.

Thx for the help m8s i try the decaturguy way and the dhead way and i have the same error.

Is there any other way to install kodi on arch ?


Thx for the help

Use the correct libcec dependencies ... it's not so hard.

guess we should disable cec by default...
