I'm trying to compile Kodi for Ubuntu, but am having some issues;
I was wondering if the fact that im running Ubuntu inside a VM (VMWare Workstation) would be an issue?
Its virtualised Gfx card is "Gallium 0.4 on SVGA3D".
Otherwise, if compiling inside a VM should be fine - I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
I'm following the instructions here;
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_XBMC_for_Ubuntu
My issue appears to begin with when i try to get the build dependencies.
I have to admit, I'm fairly new to Linux...
I've been compiling my own xbmc/kodi version for Windows for about 5yrs, but have recently decided to look at changing my HTPC's to running Linux instead of Windows.
