My steps might be the hard way, but here were all my steps to build the update .tar for OpenELEC:

aboredguy,

Nice write up on the steps. I wrote that entry on the xbmc wiki with build instructions a while back, sorry I hadn't updated it when OpenELEC changed their build system. I just went and updated it with the few changes needed. I also switched it from fetzerch to janbar version. Anyway, building should boil down to simply this once you have a machine with all the dependancies:

Code:

# grab soruce
git clone https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv.git

# go into source directory
cd OpenELEC.tv

# checkout version you want
git checkout 4.1.2

#run script from http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=MythTV_PVR/BuildFromSource#Build_MythTV_git_into_OpenELEC
~/update-xbmc-pvr-addons.sh

# build project - come back tomorrow
PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 make release

No need for apache or anything extra like that. Obviously change PROJECT and ARCH as desired, also may want to change Generic in script (although I doubt it'd matter). If you're going to be building semi-frequently it's worthwhile to keep the "source" directory around between builds as it'll save having to redownload all the source files every single time.
