I saw this guide previously also by searching the forum

I also run command mentioned in post #129

But it gives error that Make is not found.

This is a bit challenging for me
Can you please share specific steps from scratch?

[SoulReaver]

@abhi0077 make sure to cd into the kodi folder before running the command. All the steps should be in the linked guide.

I was missing "make" as my system is windows 10

I downloaded it and now I'm able to run "make" command

Do I need to install every prerequisites like toolchain & ares CLI?

[sundermann]

You can't build it on windows 10. You need some kind of linux either native or through WSL2

[abhi0077]

Okay thank you
I was scratching my head since 2 hours

Will try again in wsl


EDIT: Tried it in wsl2

Facing following error while running "make -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)"

@sundermann
I'll be getting access to PC tomorrow now

Can you build it for me if it's possible for you?

Thank you

[SoulReaver]

Yes you need the prerequisites. Set up the toolchain and also you are probably missing a lot of packages/dependencies before you can build. Check this page to get those installed as well.

Yes you need the prerequisites

yes, that is why they are called such - otherwise they would be called preoptionals or some such
 

plural noun: prerequisites
a thing that is required as a prior condition for something else to happen or exist.

Thank you for guiding me into a direction
I'll try this later

I know that
But in my case I don't want to build Kodi
I want to build a single addon without building if that's possible

This is the first time of building anything from scratch

That's why I was asking a question to get some clarity

Thank you

[sundermann]

You build kodi first and then you can build addons. If you don't want to go through that process, just wait patiently until binary addons become available from the official repositories.

[izprtxqkft]

I want to build

builds have prerequisites - no matter what you are building

EDIT: Tried it in wsl2

this is not going to go well, in my opinion, real linux > wsl

use a live usb or a virtual machine in virtualbox or something other than windows

https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/how-to-run-...virtualbox

https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-...ou-install

similar for Debian just less user-friendly

I use wsl2 on Windows 11, and everything works perfectly.

i dont know how your or my success is going to help that user

[abhi0077]

Thank you everyone

Thanks a lot @SoulReaver I was missing those dependencies

I was able to build ISA finally

Now I have to figure out CDM Widevine part as the add-on which I want to use requires that.

Thank you everyone for your time & efforts
