Hi guys,

because I found out, that the gentoo-ebuilds aren't working I try to install from source.
I followed the steps EXACTLY at wiki and from the README,
compiling and installing did fine...but now I cannot start kodi.

if I type 'kodi' direclty into terminal (as user) I get a "command not found", starting it from /usr/local/lib/kodi/kodi.bin or /usr/local/bin/kodi results in
"Unable to find path to Kodi data files!"

there has a '.kodi' folder been created during installation, though in the /root folder and not the user folder, but even if I copy the folder over to user-directory, same error occurs.
If I understand that thing right, the .kodi folder isn't necessary, it should be recreated on first start...the data files should be somethin else...?

the /usr/local/bin/kodi file says the following at beginning:

Code:
APP=Kodi

bin_name=kodi

SAVED_ARGS="$@"

prefix="/usr/local"

exec_prefix="/usr/local"

datarootdir="${prefix}/share"

LIBDIR="${exec_prefix}/lib"

CRASHLOG_DIR=${CRASHLOG_DIR:-$HOME}

USERDATA_DIR="${HOME}/.${bin_name}"

and the files are located in /usr/local/share/kodi/ and /usr/local/lib/kodi/ directories

EDIT: no change as root, same errors...

Any idea?

1.) make sure you compiled from a clean vanilla kodi source tree (git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git) or git clean -xfd if you already have a clone
2.) make sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH
3.) make sure /usr/local/share/kodi/ exists and is not empty
4.) make sure /usr/local/lib and its sub folders exists

if all fails, please pastebin the output of
strace /usr/local/lib/kodi/kodi.bin

Hi,

thanks for answering!

/usr/local/bin is in my PATH, I also tried to add KODI_HOME and XBMC_HOME as env-variables to system or directly to binary call, but no change...
I did clone the git repo with your suggested command before, now I try with latest stable: git clone -b Isengard https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git

after compiling I will try again and post the strace-output.

1.) did compile with: git clone -b Isengard https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
'./configure', 'make' and 'sudo make install' worked fine

2.)

Code:
kodi@Sigma /xbmc $ echo $PATH

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.9.3

3.)

strace output is too long to put all in one post, so as pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/LnNUjr0K

At the end there's a line searching for userdata in /usr/local/lib64/kodi/ but the folder is beyond /usr/local/share/kodi/

All in all it looks like the share dir and the lib dir-links are messed up.
I tried to manually create a link /usr/local/lib64/kodi/userdata -> /usr/local/share/kodi/userdata/
after that the strace output ends with following:

So, what else could I try?

there is something really strange going on. I have no idea why It would try to install anything to lib64.
Please pastebin config.log and config.status

Also, does it work if you use a non-system path as prefix?
i.e. configure --prefix=~/kodi

lib64 and lib are symlinked together, if that is confusing you, I have a multilib system:

I am compiling with local path, let's see...

even if I install to home, no change...

Code:
kodi@Sigma ~/xbmc $ make install

Copying kodi binary to /home/kodi/kodi2/lib/kodi/

You can run kodi with the command 'kodi'

Copying support and legal files...

Done!

Copying system files to /home/kodi/kodi2/share/kodi

Copying bindings to /home/kodi/kodi2/include/kodi

strace output:

same as before:

Code:
...

stat("/home/kodi/kodi2/lib/kodi/userdata", 0x7ffcc10ecf60) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

...

whilst files are in /home/kodi/kodi2/share/kodi/userdata ...

never seen this. Config logs are fine. Only thing that pop out is your hardened kernel and gcc. If that is not the issue, I'm out of ideas.
There are a few devs running gentoo, so it can't be a general issue.

hmm...

what gcc-version do you use for compiling?
though 4.9.3 is latest stable on my sys I could go unstable if necessary...but I am not sure this will solve the problem...

maybe someone of the gentoo-devs could bump in and have a look?

tausche, mind giving my overlay at https://github.com/herrnst/gentoo-kodi-overlay containing kodi live ebuilds a try?

EDIT: If you're trying them with specific branches, be sure to use EGIT_BRANCH for all ebuilds where applicable, mixing branches will(!) break things.

hi herrnst,

I already got your overlay (dcadec is part of ffmpeg so to get rid of ffmpeg I had to get it from somewhere else -> your overlay).
but if I try to install your kodi ebuild it pulls in ffmpeg again (and a bunch of other packages from the tree)...so I will have the same problems as before?

Code:
Sigma ~ # emerge -va =media-tv/kodi-9999

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

EDIT: found your system-ffmpeg use flag, though it has no description I'm pretty sure disabled this leads to interal ffmpeg

Well, especially the kodi ebuild is taken directly from the portage tree, with additions like the system-ffmpeg flag and updated depends, didn't care about use.desc at all (yet), so - PRs welcome ;-) (seriously, wouldn't mind receiving improvements for the overlay).
