Please help as i dont find a good resource online to install kodi on cent os 7

You miss pthread and dependencies. Please search this forum for centos - we had that 4 times already iirc.

Thank you.
Somehow i managed to get it( kodi 17.6 ) installed.I am not sure how properly it is installed because i was see a lot of warnings/deprecated etc while compiling/install.

To check for dependencies i downloaded kodi src.rpm file and ran rpmbuild --rebuild <kodi.src.rpm> it gave me a lot of missing dependencies to be installed. I installed them all along with sshlib.
followed source : https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_Ko...Hat/CentOS

ran these:

sudo git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
git checkout 7e52c1d

$ make -C tools/depends/native/JsonSchemaBuilder/
$ sudo cp tools/depends/native/JsonSchemaBuilder/bin/JsonSchemaBuilder /usr/local/bin
$ sudo chmod 775 /usr/local/bin/JsonSchemaBuilder

$ PREFIX="/usr/local" # You could also make this /opt/kodi for instance. Whatever you like
$ sudo make -C ./tools/depends/target/libdcadec PREFIX=${PREFIX}
$ sudo make -C ./tools/depends/target/crossguid PREFIX=${PREFIX}
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PREFIX}/lib/pkgconfig"
