I have built the PVR addons as a step of the build process, then using XCode to run the kodi build, followed by the deb target as per the docs.

When I run the app deployed via Xcode I can't see any of the PVR addons. 

Have I followed the process incorrectly or is there a step I'm missing?

The documentation is wrong. The reason why it works in our CI is https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/fade69...ns#L19-L20.

So I just need to set the install prefix correctly and then it should be ok?

Or does each addon need to built separately setting the install prefix?

[Rechi]

Yes INSTALL_PREFIX has to be set to your-kodi-build-dir/addons. There is no need to build every addon seperately.

As we generate the xcode project build dir after building the binary addons will that make a difference?

Or does this matter once they exist in the right place (i.e. just build them in the right place before generating the project)?

I will try this later today and find out.

So if using make the following would build the addons correctly when run from the xbmc source dir:

Code:


INSTALL_PREFIX="../../../../../build/addons"
make -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) -C tools/depends/target/binary-addons ADDONS="pvr.*" INSTALL_PREFIX="../../../../../../kodi-build/build/addons"


If using a separate build dir, i.e. $HOME/kodi.build:

Code:


INSTALL_PREFIX="../../../../../../kodi-build/build/addons"
make -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) -C tools/depends/target/binary-addons ADDONS="pvr.*" INSTALL_PREFIX="$INSTALL_PREFIX"


Once I verify this is working I will create a PR for the docs.
