Full Version: Kodi-18 and binary addons in Slackware.
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Nearly all the documentation for Kodi-18 seems to be aimed at Ubuntu or its derivatives, which isn't much help when trying to build kodi from source in the wider Linux community.

After a lot of faffing about, I've managed to create some experimental slackbuilds for kodi-18 and some binary addons that work for me. The whole saga can be found here:

Slackware, Kodi-18 and addons

The final slackbuilds are near the end of the thread. They have only been tested on Slackware-current (the development branch) with AlienBob's Plasma5 upgrade, so use at your own risk! However, they work for me, and create packages that can be installed and removed with Slackware's own package management tools.

Have fun!
