I currently try to compile the v18 Alpha 2 on my raspberry pi, but after running for some hours the compiler stopped with an error.

checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/pi/pocorn/xbmc/tools/depends/target/pcre/raspberry-pi2-release':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

I posted the config.log here https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xcbdkw3knQ/

I am relativly new to compiling so I have no idea what to do now.

You don't have to compile depends if you build on your pi. Just install the required libs from your distribution.

How would I do that ? I added the nightly repository, and installed all libs I found here. If I try to install kodi from the nightly repository I get an error that I could not be installed (I guess cause of raspbian, and the nightly repository is made for Ubuntu). Sorry if this question sounds nooby, but I never had to work with libs and and nightly builds before.

[Rechi]

Nightly ppa is only for ubuntu and i386 or amd64 processors.
Installing the libs listed at https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...ux#L46-L60 is already correct, where you get them from doesn't matter.


I recommand following http://blog.nunosenica.com/compiling-kod...n-stretch/.
Note: CORE_SYSTEM_NAME was renamed to CORE_PLATFORM_NAME.
You may also want to use -DENABLE_INTERNAL_RapidJSON=ON as additional cmake argument as your distro doesn't ship a recent enough rapidsjon version.

[User 411814]

I found that guide and tried it, but also got errors. I got the RapidJson-Dev from the nightly build, so that is fixed. The CORE_SYSTEM_NAME threw me some errors, so I removed it, but atleast now I know why and can try again. Also it seems the CMakeFile was moved to ../ rather than ../cmake/ , as I always get an error that it doesn't exist in /cmake/. I just tried to run cmake, and it ended in an error.

Found the error, I used -CORE_PLATFORM_NAME=rbpi \ and should have used -DCORE_PLATFORM_NAME=rbpi \

RPi 3 has the same problem as RPi 3B?

[Rechi]

Which problem does RPi 3 have?
