View compile log? (y/n) :

Any clues? I assume I have something missing? I'm running Ubuntu 7.10, all up to date, and I installed all the packages from the README.linux.

BTW, it's SVN revison number 12088

svn builds fine, your side. try deleting surface.o

I know. I have two ubuntu boxes, almost identical in hardware spec, xbmc compiles on one but not the other. Now I could just copy across the binaries from the working box to the other, (haven't tried that - it might not work), but I'd like to understand why it won't compile on one.
I think it's something to do with the nvidia drivers. If I crack it I'll report back - might be useful.

OK, I seem to have cured it. Unfortunately I did 2 changes at once, so I'm not sure which solved it!
I installed nvidia-glx-dev, which uninstalled nvidia-glx-legacy-dev,
then I installed nvidia-kernel-source.
Now it compiles.

Talking to myself ....

I reinstalled nvidia-glx-legacy-dev, which in turn uninstalled nvidia-glx-dev, and the compilation failed again.
Switching back to the non-legacy version solved the issue, so that was the problem.
