[DONE] [armv8][alarm/kodi-c2] Unable to create GUI

[crumbler]

Dear Archers,

I recently tried to install archlinux for armv8 on my raspberry pi. I also tried to install kodi then, which didn't work because of linking to the wrong libraries. Fortunately the user graysky already provided a patch for kodi-rbp, which I was able to modify for kodi-c2:
https://gist.github.com/bschnitz/046535 ... 90d9eba94f

Now however I get another error when starting /usr/bin/kodi:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
double free or corruption (out)
/usr/bin/kodi: line 175: 3176 Aborted (core dumped) "$LIBDIR/${bin_name}/${bin_name}.bin" $SAVED_ARGS

')

The error also occeurs, when starting the kodi.service. (However the last two lines do not always occeur.) Does anyone know a solution?

The complete log:

After a bit of struggeling, I decided to change to armv7 where kodi works, so this is done.

[spikerguy]

Hello mate,

Even I am facing exactly the same problem using khadas vim 1 with manjaro linux with linux 5.0 kernel

Do you mean you installed armv7 kodi in armv8 device? Or you moved to armv7 device?

[spikerguy]

Anyone who can advice me on this?

I tried to recompile using the same PKGBUILD but I am getting error on Video Rending Crenderer.
