req: XBMC beta

Fackamato · 2010-08-31 09:31:08

I know xbmc-svn exists in AUR, but how about a PKGBUILD for XBMC beta? http://xbmc.org/theuni/2010/08/30/final … rma-beta1/

Cheers,

The version labeled as "dharma beta 1" should be a revision from svn, so see which revision it is and use the xbmc-svn package to build that particular revision.

Good point. Will make an attempt tonight and hopefully get back with results.

It's svn 33324 - http://trac.xbmc.org/changeset/33324

Download the files for the xbmc-svn package and change the pkgver line to read "pkgver=33324" then build it with "makepkg -S --holdver"

They also have a regular tarball up.

You can find a mirror here, courtesy of zeqadious.

Normally you should also be able to pull in the revision by tag, but I might be mistaken. I know the link between tag and revision works both ways.

Thanks guys, building from svn now. Don't forget to backup your .xbmc

Fackamato · 2010-09-01 08:45:43

Seems to work fine over here! It seems faster (running on an Atom/Ion) than the old build. I like the way that everything is plugin based now, too. Easier to install/configure/remove plugins from within XBMC itself. Can't wait for the final release!

Out of curiosity, what skin are you using?

That won't work, since certain SVN commits are done to trunk and others to the Dharma branch. You need to check out the Dharma branch, not the regular one:

http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot … hes/Dharma

If you use the regular trunk, you'll actually just be pulling in SVN, just like the xbmc-svn PKGBUILD does.

Fackamato: I myself mostly use Confluence, but I like Alaska and Alaska revisited a lot too. I recently got told about Cirrus, and I think that's a keeper. Nice balance between aesthetics and readability.

@B - guess my suggestion is wrong and maybe we need a package for the beta builds (xbmc-dharma)?

There is a xbmc-dharma package thanks to blackeagle: quote from AUR

i have an autobuild running that builds testing twice a day
prebuild xbmc-dharma can be found
[herecura-testing]
# additional apps for testing build against stable arch
Server = http://herecura.be/repo/herecura-testing/i686
[herecura-testing]
# additional apps for testing build against stable arch
Server = http://herecura.be/repo/herecura-testing/x86_64
name: xbmc-dharma
the svn version can be found there too but that one is built with external ffmpeg

I already installed the xbmc-dharma from this repo and works great. Give it a try. You may need to build libmicrohttpd from aur before that.
I have no crashes to report with my old pentium4 3.0, 512ram and ati9250se.

I saw that but I'd prefer to build my own package. Perhaps he will post the PKBUILD/files for it.

It's as easy as swapping out the trunk link in the PKGBUILD and setting the revision as pkgver, just like with the xbmc-svn build. Apart from that the PKGBUILDs are identical.

Thanks... but it didn't work.

Perhaps I misunderstood your advice? Here is the modified PKGBUILD.

This is my PKGBUILD. Don't copy it verbatim unless you know what you're doing (I disabled everything I don't use myself).

Your svn checkout goes fine (as you can see from the output), you just don't have autoreconf installed.

graysky · 2010-09-02 08:47:40

Thanks B. Blackeagle also posted his PKGBUILD too if anyone is interested:

Since folks are posting, I figure some might like a bit more versatility in the PKGBUILD they use... I know I do.

XBMC Dharma Beta 1
XBMC SVN (trunk)

Your pkgbuilds look very nice, I tried the first one. Unfortunately, it seems to hang at:

==> Checking out xbmc for Linux ... Please be Patient...

I don't know if it's perhaps downloading and building in the background, but I wouldn't think so. It stayed like that for 20 minutes, then I gave up. If it was building in the background though, it would take longer time than that on my computer

EDIT: It's building now. Don't know if it is becouse I waited longer this time or becouse I changed:

_svntrunk="http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/tags/Dharma_beta1"
_svnmod="XBMC"

to:

_svntrunk="http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/tags/Dharma_beta1"
_svnmod="xbmc"

EDIT2:

./configure: line 17503: ./configure: No such file or directory
configure: error: Submodule lib/cpluff failed to configure
Aborting...

Klav: Please be patient ... means wait for it. It was checking out subversion. If it fails it will say aborted and quit. Otherwise its just working in the background. You likely Ctrl+C'd it to stop it leaving a half-baked checkout in your source tree which you then began to build from. Ultimately you ran into the missing files you didn't check out.

If you want to watch the checkout occur simply comment out the redirect to null:

svn co ${_svntrunk} -r ${pkgver} ${_svnmod}-${pkgver} > /dev/null 2>&1

becomes

svn co ${_svntrunk} -r ${pkgver} ${_svnmod}-${pkgver} #> /dev/null 2>&1

Keep in mind that checkout can take a long time depending on the speed of your connection, disk i/o, and the size of your pipe.

Delete your src tree and try again, or download a full tarball from my repo of the revision you want.
Beta 1
Revision 33432 (yesterday)

Thanks!

-- EDIT --

I've updated my PKGBUILD's to display subversion checkout by default now. Set SVN_QUIET=1 in the PKGBUILD to render it silent again.

It's very strange, I removed all the old source files and even started from another directory, but I got the same error message. I'll just wait for it to go stable. Thanks anyway!
