I downloaded the garbear/xbmc fork and built Kodi for Ubuntu 15.04:
Everything went great and the Kodi binary launches and runs fine. It has the "Games" tab as expected. I have garbear's xbmc at ~/code/kodi/xbmc-retroplay
I also downloaded a handful of the kodi-game repos. As an example, I have the peripheral.joystick repo at ~/code/kodi/xbmc-game/peripheral.joystick. Here's how I built the joystick addon:
This build seems to have successfully completed and so did a handful of libretro projects (game.libretro, game.libretro.snes9x, etc).
Now I'm stuck as I don't know how to make use of the addons. The addons haven't magically added themselves to kodi, I can't seem to find them in any of the addons lists from within kodi, and I can't find any zip files to install. I've poked around in the ~/code/kodi/xbmc-retroplay/addons, ~/code/kodi/xbmc-game/build, and ~/code/kodi/xbmc-game/peripheral.joystick directories. What am I missing?
Thanks in advanced,
Dan
Edit: I'm realizing I probably should have made a new thread for this question. Should I move it?
Code:
./bootstrap
./configure
make -j2
