There aren't any packages for CentOS7 with recent Kodi, and there aren't any current instructions for compiling Kodi on CentOS7, so I did the best I could at translating dependencies from Ubongo.

Now I get an inscrutable compile error:

gmake: *** [all] Error 2

It hangs for a long time, and then craps out with no further remarks.

There is no build log, for some reason.  I... don't know what it wants.

The error is not in your logs. If you build on a VM perhaps you don't have enough memory for linking.

[wsnipex]

it failed way before, probably due to the ancient libs centos provides. You also need gcc >=4.9

[Quantum`]

Ok it seems that compiling is effectively not possible in CentOS7.4.  I'm stuck with RPMFusion's packages.

[fritsch]

It is possible - but not if you hide the issues it makes. Btw. please use the forum search, there were plenty of poor centos users over time that needed help with building kodi.
