Linux Compile Kodi /w libcec 3.0 on updated Ubuntu 14.04
#1
I always compile kodi myself, which is working fine (sometimes with a hickup Smile ).

However for some time I am working with the latest pulse-eight and latest kodi (githup) and I see Libcec is not supported anymore (checking for CEC... no)
When I was searching after a couple of months I found this thread:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...t=libcec+3

This looks like it should work. However I also found this PR in github:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/6891

My config log looks like this:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/11940852/

What I found in it was that, I need to have:
"Package 'platform', required by 'libcec', not found"

However this is not an available package for apt-get.

Whooooo, great... Installing the libplatform did the trick:

Code:
sudo apt-get install libplatform-dev

Thanks for the help, really appreciated.
(Why did I not raise the question earlier, now compiling a new kodi)
