Hi All

Hope someone can help a total newbie when it comes to linux.

Just installed latest live cd build, 9.04 onto my hard drive, but l would like to use the latest svn build, could someone please tell me what commands l need to use to upgrade to the latest svn build?

Thanks

Hi People

i'm also a linux newbie, so please forgive my poor information....
@Haggy... what you are saying is that it is possible to update Live using linux branch svn ??
just by using this :

Code:

# sudo apt-get install subversion
# cd $HOME
# svn checkout https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport/XBMC

# cd $HOME/XBMC
# svn up
# make clean

# sudo apt-get update

# sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc

# cd $HOME/XBMC
# ./configure
# make
# sudo make install

and that's it ?? nothing more and we have our live updated to the latest version ??
Where does the PPA comes ??

Thanks

XBMC live installs in /usr/share/xbmc... the default SVN compile will install in /usr/local/share/xbmc...
To replace the xbmc live install you should ./configure --prefix=/usr read ./configure --help for more info...

As mentioned earlier, you can also use the SVN PPA's which would be easyier and quicker for you. It's one or the other.

Thanks for your help AllanMar.
Can you please explain how to use the SVN PPA's .
and one more.... for changing the xbmc installation .... instead of using :

Code:

# cd $HOME/XBMC
# ./configure
# make
# sudo make install

i have to use :

Code:

# cd $HOME/XBMC
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
# sudo make install

is this

Thanks for your help
