Yes spot on. That is you need kodiplatform in the mock env.

[wsnipex]

and kodi as well, at least the addon headers and cmake helper files.

[boblfoot]

Still no joy even with kodi installed to mock when kodi-platform was built and then isntalled kodi-platform to build pvr.hts.

Well I need a break, I'll revisit this after some bball watching /NCAAs.

[boblfoot]

OK , NCAA is over, KY lost yeah.

Now about kodi, kodi-platform and pvr.hts.

I got sick and tired of playing in mock, but I refuse to build on a production system that is doing other things, so I opened a Fedora 21 VM instance running gnome and built from git all three packages. They all built and installed as expected but when I try to run them I get a message "an unknoiw error has occurred. PVR addon could not be loaded. Could not load dll.

I guess this means I am really messing something up, but I am not sure what.

[negge]

@boblfoot make sure you create "Release" builds, not "Debug".

[negge]

Can someone make instructions for OS X? I simply can't get it to work, every time I call cmake I end up with "couldn't find dependency "kodi" of target "kodi-platform" or something like that. I did get it to work once, then OS X decided to become stupid and now it doesn't work anymore no matter what I do.

[boblfoot]

@ negge the following is what I did in the fedora vm and in a mock instance of centos to build all three apps {kodi, kodi-platform, pvr.hts}

Code:

FOR KODI
from /home/user folder
mkdir git
git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
cd xbmc
git checkout 32c1f532084a2fd642a19c75a185dd2a3434c5d2
./bootstrap
./configure
make
make install

FOR KODI-PLATFORM
from /home/user folder
cd git
git clone https://github.com/xbmc/kodi-platform.git
cd kodi-platform
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
make
make install

FOR PVR.HTS
from /home/user folder
cd git
git clone https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.hts.git
cd pvr.hts
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
make
make install

I just need to find and add the instance to make flag to the cmake command iirc.

[negge]

@boblfoot I don't want to build Kodi itself, just a single addon.

[manül]

I'm/my build script is doing:

Code:

addon="pvr.your_pvr"
git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
git clone https://github.com/kodi-pvr/${addon}
mkdir build
pushd build
cmake -DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=".." \
      -DADDONS_TO_BUILD="${addon}" \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=output \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
      -DPACKAGE_ZIP=1 \
      ../xbmc/project/cmake/addons
make VERBOSE=1
# optional: make -C ${addon}-prefix/src/${addon}-build/ addon-package

As far as I remember this also worked on OSX.

Are there required changes the cmake build systems for libplatform on win32? I can build pvr.nexpvr fine from the commit https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.nextpvr/commits/master 1ecbf87 but it fails with c138e2 and libplatform I use prepare-addons-dev.bat pvr.nextpvr from http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1935737 to create the environment.

Thanks,

Martin

[wsnipex]

yes, see https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/7069
still not 100% fixed though.

[emveepee]

yes, see https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/7069

Thanks that pull works, I agree that this new system is sure spaghetti, I didn't search it out because to me it make senses to have working dependencies and then change the dependency rather than vice-verse..

Hi all,
i trying to build pvr.iptvsimple for my kodi 14.2:

i have:
/home/mediacenter/Scaricati/pvr.iptvsimple ( from git clone https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.iptvsimple )
/home/mediacenter/Scaricati/xbmc ( from git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc -b Helix )

i already installed kodi from /home/mediacenter/Scaricati/xbmc (sudo make install)

i created build folder under /home/mediacenter/Scaricati/pvr.iptvsimple and launch cmake:
cmake \
-DADDONS_TO_BUILD=pvr.iptvsimple \
-DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=/home/mediacenter/Scaricati \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/mediacenter/Scaricati/xbmc/addons \
-DPACKAGE_ZIP=1 \
/home/mediacenter/Scaricati/xbmc/project/cmake/addons

i think nothing was done.

I use Mageia 4 - x86_64
could help me please

[ironic_monkey]

try this instead;

1) build and execute 'make install' for kodi (you already did..)

2) configure pvr.iptvsimple without all those options. point cmake to *its* source directory, not /home/mediacenter/Scaricati/xbmc/project/cmake/addons

3) build and execute 'make install' for pvr.iptvsimple

there is no need to use the in-tree buildsystem on non-crossbuild linux.

hi ironic_monkey,
thanks for your response.

i tryed to:
cd /home/mediacenter/Scaricati/pvr.iptvsimple
$ cmake .

Seems that i need to install kodi-platform, but if i try to build kodi-platform
