Did anyone made it? I always get an errer when it comes to

"/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gvariant.h:67: error: two or more data types in declaration of ‘parameter’"

I had a thread about this before and I made a trac ticket, you need to force install an older version of glib-dev as xbmc will not compile with 2.23.
Thanks for that hint! Can yo tell me how i get that version in Lucid?
Download it from Karmic. :p
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic-update...v/download

You'll have to force install this package anytime you want to compile.

Quote:sudo dpkg -i --force-all libglib2.0-dev_2.22.3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

It will "break" your package maintainer and each and every time you want to update you'll need to fix it.

Quote:sudo apt-get install -f
or you can extract the files in the karmic deb and put them in place of the ones in lucid tree
this is what i did and i had no problem for now (but having to put them again when libglib2-dev has been updated some days ago)
are there no binaries available for Lucid through the PPA ?

Yes there are outdated builds of xbmc in the ppa, but this particular thread is about compiling..
