jj702 Wrote:same problem on refocus skin, thumbnails are rebuilding each time, I went back to the official build and it's smooth as silk again.

Still stuttering in this build, going back to 10.0-7

Ger Teunis Wrote:I don't think those are useful comments. First of all Keith can't do anything abou it. Secondly if you really want to help you might want suit a bug in xbmc's buck tracker, provide lots and lots of data in there. Try to find the two builds which was working to which wasn't and add that comment in there as well so if and I mean if the deva look at it can determine what patches where applied in that timeframe. Just my 2 cents.

R0MSTER Wrote:Yes i am aware of all that, i did provide logs before, and someone else did so i assume someone saw that, if not i will gladly post the log again, as for bugtrack, i was under the impression it's only for official builds, otherwise all the bugs reported in this thread will be ignored unless it's in bugtrack

I actually tried building with LLVM 2.0 and build process fails. It even fails when using LLVM GCC 4.2 instead of standard GCC 4.2.

So I guess we have to wait for that a little longer. By the way: I had lots of trouble with LLVM when submitting my iPhone Apps to iTunes Connect. Sometimes the build was released without error, BUT I got many negative feedback with incompatible devices and / or firmware versions. And other times the build with LLVM was rejected because of crashes I couldn't reproduce, while the same code built with LLVM GCC didn't make any problems.

So, long story short: I am keeping LLVM GCC as my default compiler. LLVM 2.0 and 3.0 are still very buggy.

Whats the future plan for XBMC, is that to update for LLVM? Apple is moving away from GCC. Have you tried compile with the unofficial LLVM build (3.x branch)? Would be nice to see if XBMC actually gain speed from switching from GCC to LLVM.

emkay Wrote:Hey davilla,

Building under Xcode 4 already works. I'm doing it all the time using the standard GCC 4.2

davilla Wrote:The plan is to stick with the current build process until we are forced to change it. As a long time developer, someone who has been developing before most others were born, I don't believe in jumping to the latest and greatest just because it is available. Such jumps generally cause several disruptions in the development process. Been there, done that and hated it. I remember the 1st release of Xcode when Metroworks CoreWarrier was still around. Utter piece of crap it was.

The current build process works and it rock stable without any compiler issues. I see no reason to change at the current time. That said, I am looking into updating tools/darwin/depended, the Xcode projects and XBMC source code itself to support building under Xcode4. It is a long term project as there is no impending need to do it at the current time. There have already been commits to support this. Code development is like playing Chess, you plan your moves long in advance.
