XBMC PKGBUILD for raspberry pi

[tgc]

Nice work with the advancesetting.xml-file! I wondered about the cpu usage myself, but didn't do much about it.
Anybody has a good idea as to how to include advancesetting.xml in the PKG? As I understand it, it will only be read from the users "userdata" folder, so that makes it difficult to install it for all users.

Hi everyone,

I've managed to compile xbmc-rpb-git on a x86 computer with a cross-compilation toolchain thanks to a minor patch on the PKGBUILD. With this setup, the build take only 20min.

Here is a tutorial I wrote to replay the steps : http://www.xouillet.info/dokuwiki/doku. ... c-rpb_arch

Feel free to test/comment it if you are interested.

As said at the end, the package has the wrong architecture, and I didn't find a clean way to generate a true arm package with cross-compilation, so if some of you are aware of that, please tell me

[WarheadsSE]

You're best off using the CROSS_COMPILE= environment variable to allow for cross-builds, having that toolchain in your path. CARCH for the target arch. As for why your resultant package reads x86-64 .. I'm not sure on that myself so I won't comment.

I try to compile xbmc from aur (xbmc-rbp-git) and I have these errors:

Can you help me?

You need a swap file, search forum for swapon
Try to avoid doing this on flash type memory

You have to install sdl and sdl_image. (It is indeed not in the prerequisites.)

[MattScherbatsky]

sdl installed, sdl_image not. Now I installing it and retry! Thank you!

Hey guys!

I've got a problem building the new xbmc-rbp-git (2012-08-09). While configuring I'm getting the following error message:

checking for gcry_control in -lgcrypt... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.

I've got libgcrypt 1.5.0-3 installed. It seems as if I need a libgcrypt-dev (at least that's what it's called for debian), but that doesn't seem to exist for arch.

Any ideas?
Thanks.
