HOW-TO:Compile XBMC on Debian/Ubuntu
This is a tutorial on how to compile and install XBMC on Debian or Ubuntu
Contents |
1 Checkout with Git
Development has moved to git, rather than subversion. You will need git installed to do this.
$ sudo aptitude install git
(Note: if you don't have aptitude yet you can install it using the command $ sudo apt-get install aptitude)
git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
2 Install Packages
You'll have to install the necessary dependencies. First do this.
$ sudo aptitude update
Then see README.ubuntu for the required packages. The file includes a handy aptitude line which you can just paste in the terminal.
3 Configure
$ cd xbmc $ ./bootstrap $ ./configure
If you wish to use supported system libraries do this instead.
$ ./configure --enable-external-libraries
In either case, with the above installed packages this should go smoothly :)
4 Build
$ make
5 Install
$ sudo make install
When this completes you are done!
You may either go into a terminal session or press <Alt>+<F2>. Then type 'xbmc'.
NOTE: On certain versions of Ubuntu, you may get a segmentation fault due to libcurl. This is resolved by creating a symbolic link in /usr/lib
$ cd /usr/lib $ sudo ln -s libcurl-gnutls.so.4 libcurl.so.4
