Compiling Kodi from Github on Ubuntu 16.04 fails
#1
Hello Team Kodi,

I'm trying to do a build from Github so I can play around with it, maybe try some nightlies and see if there is anyway I can contribute upstream.

I followed the instructions on the readme file from Github:

https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_Ko...u_packages

I'm able to install all but one dependencies using method 2. (The one that didn't install/locate was "libcec1", which I skipped)

Then when I get to Compile (section 4), I'm not able to do so because I do not have files bootstrap and configure under the xvmc folder. So these commands do not work and thus "make" fails too:./bootstrap
./configure

Please advice what am I missing or can try next.

I eventually want to compile and install on Arch linux, but since I have Ubuntu on my laptop, I'm starting with this.

Thanks in advance.

see docs/README.xxx instead, the wiki is outdated.

Thanks @spiff . I will try that and revert if I run into any issues.
