Win Building addons
#1
Hi there,

so i build Kodi successfully from the retroplayer-15alpha2 branch and could start it. I then tried to build the addons as told using the generated kodi-addons.sln. Unfortunately only game.libretro managed to build - both game.libretro.nestopia as well as peripheral.joystick failed.

I digged through all the scripts, cmake files and batches but hell this is a complicated buildscript beast Smile I couldnt find any hint as to what exactly is going wrong so i thought some of you guys might be able to help.

So game.libretro.nestopia says (http://pastebin.com/5uHgrGpy) :

The error seems to be:
Code:
4> Performing build step for 'nestopia'
4> Der Befehl "mingw32-make" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder konnte nicht gefunden werden.

I dont know why hes complaining bout this because part of kodi building was executing "DownloadMingwBuildEnv.bat" which dl'ed exactly this and i even checked if its there (it is). So something in the cmake files might be going wrong? But again im kind of lost in all these different makefiles calling each other.

The second one peripheral.joystick is even funnier (http://pastebin.com/9EV46bqi) :

Code:
4>------ Neues Erstellen gestartet: Projekt: peripheral.joystick (ExternalProjectTargets\peripheral.joystick\peripheral.joystick), Konfiguration: Debug Win32 ------
4>  Building Custom Rule D:/Dev/xbmc_dev/retroplayer/project/cmake/addons/CMakeLists.txt
4>  CMake does not need to re-run because D:\Dev\xbmc_dev\retroplayer\project\cmake\addons\build\CMakeFiles\generate.stamp is up-to-date.
4>  Creating directories for 'peripheral.joystick'
4>  No download step for 'peripheral.joystick'
4>  No update step for 'peripheral.joystick'

4>  -- Could NOT find PkgConfig (missing:  PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE)
4>  -- Could NOT find PkgConfig (missing:  PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE)
...
...
...

It goes on for a while trying to find PkgConfig until cmake crashes and then quits building. Im even more lost here because 1st i dont know why hes endlessly looping to try finding pckconfig and 2nd where this dependency comes from.

So guys, any clues? Im on win7, kodi build and i verified that all dependency loading scripts went through and i now dont know what else to do Big Grin

Thanx for your time!
