Hi there,

I've successfully compiled kodi 19 from source with some addons (tvh.pvr visualization.projectm etc..).

So for these addons it's simple.
git checkout addon (optionally switch to Matrix branch).
cd addon; mkdir build; cd build
cmake -DADDONS_TO_BUILD=visualization.projectm -DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../kodi19/addons -DPACKAGE_ZIP=1 ../../kodi19/cmake/addons
make

Now for flycast for example it doesn't work, I'm running cmake from the game.libretro.flycast/build directory:

Code:

$ cmake -DADDONS_TO_BUILD=game.libretro.flycast \
    -DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=../.. \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../kodi19/addons \
    -DPACKAGE_ZIP=1 \
    ../../kodi19/cmake/addons

Any ideas?

I'm on Odroid XU4, so I want to compile them from source with so I can tweak the depends/Makefile with some optimized flags.

You can try my Kodi compilation scripts. For Odroid XU4 maybe you will need to change the build dependencies a bit. Even if you don't want to use my scripts the process is well documented and you can have a look inside the scripts to see the commands they invoke.
