I'm trying to update my version of XBMC for linux
Its currently running SVN 9.04-beta1-r19898.
As I understand "smooth video" has been merged into the main program
I followed this guide
HERE to hopefully update to 22100
Every thing ran, it configured and compiled ok
XBMC is set to autostart with X in a minimal hardy install ( outined in this guide
HERE) But when I restart the machine it still starts up with svn 19898
please give me some clues as to where its going wrong
Cheers
make sure you use
Quote:./configure --prefix=/usr
make -j2
sudo make install
cheers
You should upgrade your Ubuntu version. Hardy is not that fresh, eh?
Please describe your problem in the thread title in the future...

surely hardy is plenty good enough to run XBMC as its the only program running.
Are you saying that the latest builds are not compatible with hardy ??
I think he's just saying Hardy isn't new anymore. FOSS is always evolving and changing, sometimes for the better. More often than not newer is better. Sometimes newer doesn't work. I prefer to stay with newer so I'm using Jaunty.

All I get now is an error on install
Quote: caution: excluded filename not matched: */Thumbs.db
Copying XBMC binary to /usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin
install: cannot stat `xbmc.bin': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1
Still doing something wrong....obviously
BTW thanks for the help
This is due to the fact you're using Hardy. Hardy will barf while compiling goom, mms and the recently changed smb stuff for sure. Please consider upgrading.

Hi
Updated to Intrepid, which was actually quite painless
Quote:xbmc@xbmc:~/XBMC$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
Codename: intrepid
xbmc@xbmc:~/XBMC$
Its seems to "
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-pulse" and "
make -j2" fine but when I "
sudo make install" I still get the following error
Quote:xbmc@xbmc:~/XBMC$ sudo make install
[sudo] password for xbmc:

What is going wrong ??
Ive done a bit of testing / reading
From the install error I can assume its stopped installing because it cant find xbmc.bin probably because its not been made.
It seems from watching the log that it still
"will barf while compiling goom, mms and the recently changed smb stuff for sure." as you so aptly put it

Do I need to upgrade further to get round this, but isnt intrepid the latest non beta ?
Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) is the most recent stable ubuntu release

Ive just updated to this,
Quote:xbmc@xbmc:~/XBMC$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jaunty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.04"
xbmc@xbmc:~/XBMC$
but now im getting a different error
Quote:make: *** [dvdpcodecs] Error 2
at the end of the compile. which obviously still wont install because it didn't finish without errors
Have you checked readme.linux and readme.ubuntu and installed all the package dependencies mentioned in those?

As far as I`m aware yes.
Ive never had any problems compiling and installing before, although that was back in may with the smoothvideo branch.
My current release is 9.04-beta1-r19898. Its pretty stable and plays the majority of my mkv`s fine.
I just wanted to upgrade to the latest stable release with " smooth video " included, which, as far as I understand it is and its had a fair few tweaks to iron out some problems which would hopefully fix some of my occasional ones.
Did you clean your source? make reallyclean or make distclean.
I kicked gloom from the make file and it finished compiling.
I am using karmic but I don't think there have been that many changes with the build tools and most of the devs would probably be testing on jaunty.
