Compiling from source and packaging
#1
I want to compile xbmc from source and right after make a package, just like the precompiled packages. How can I do this?

Depends on your platform and its package management.

Google is your friend.

I'm using Ubuntu. Are the packaging scripts for XBMC provided in it's source?

So I use this generally. I pinched it from another thread and run it in the svn directory instead of a 'make install':

checkinstall -D --pkgname=xbmc --fstrans=no --pakdir "../debs" --maintainer "$USER" --pkgversion "1:0.svn`svn info | grep Revision | cut -f 2 -d ' '`" --backup=no --deldoc=yes --deldesc=yes --delspec=yes --default --install=no

A .deb is produced and you can install it with 'dpkg -i'...

Many thanks! I compiled xbmc from source:

Done. The new package has been saved to

../debs/xbmc_1:0.svn22118-1_i386.deb
You can install it in your system anytime using:


Another question: How do I package the xbmc-eventclients-common, xbmc-web-pm3, xbmc-skin-pm3-hd, etc files? I now only have one file. Or does this file include everything?
