XBMC, startx and libgles problems

[moonman]

I was thinking about a script too. I'm compiling glibc atm, will try your scipt as well when it's done. It will probably take a while since distcc is disabled in PKGBUILD for compiling glibc

[moonman]

Well i gave up on recompiling. Too many thing to recompile for glibc. Ive made a script that i call when i need xbmc. Waiting for the proper fix

V7 just compiled on my trimslice (2Gb swap), took 18 hours in screen session
Maybe I will try in chroot of V6

Dont you need to recompile binutils as well after compiling a patched glibc

Alright, I guess a cleaner workaround ls to symlink all the necessery libs.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '#!/bin/bash
list=$(ls /opt/vc/lib)
for files in $list do
rm /usr/lib/$files 2> /dev/null
ln -s /opt/vc/lib/$files /usr/lib/$files
done')

Can this be temporarily added in xbmc.install ? I can do it, but wondering if I should and if it's ok.

Also, is there a particaluar reason why systemd service file starts xbmc using xinit? After a clean install installing xbmc and starting it with systemctl start xbmc will result in an ambiguous error (xbmc.service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start.). xbmc will start fine without xinit. Otherwise xorg-server should be added to the dependency array for xbmc.

Edit: would something like this be ok? https://github.com/moonman/PKGBUILDs/co ... 2e7bff58bc

I know that would work, but I don't like it, plus symlinks would remain if xbmc was uninstalled.

[moonman]

Well, that's easiliy fixed with post_remove(). Alright, I see you don't like it.

How about xinit?

If this should be fixed in the xbmc PKGBUILD, then I would place LD_LIBRARY_PATH in startup python script, FEH.py, if I remember correctly. Does anybody know the ETA for the new glibc build to hit the repos? No need to change xbmc if glibc is almost ready.

They've readied a patch. We're just waiting on them.
