xbmc-git makepkg errors (libcec)

ViperDVMan · 2012-12-29 05:31:38

Fairly new Arch user here, but been compiling on other distros for a while. I am attempting to install xbmc-git from the AUR. But every time I makepkg, I get this error way down the line:

checking for UDEV... yes
configure: == libusb disabled. ==
will not check for RPi support (unsupported cpu: x86_64)
checking for CEC... no
configure: error: == libcec disabled. CEC adapter support will not be available. ==
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build xbmc-git

And it kills the process, making it impossible for me to install xbmc-git.

I have tried other methods of getting this done: manually from AUR, using yaourt, using makepkg --asroot, and nothing seems to work.

I know for a fact that libcec is installed as it's a dependency. But why does this process not recognize it? How do I get xbmc-git installed?

That's because the maintainer needs to switch the dep out to 'libcec-git' not 'libcec' ... try xbmc-beta or modify the PKGBUILD yourself.

when trying to build libcec-git (dependency to xbmc-beta)

if fails to compile:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.2/../../../../lib/liblockdev.a(lockdev.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.2/../../../../lib/liblockdev.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libcec.la] Fel 1

Not sure if the problem is with "lockdev" or libcec-git though.

EDIT:
Had to recompile "lockdev" with -fPIC to get libcec-git to compile. No clue what it changes though (making the static shared..!?):

No idea... worked for me on several systems.

ovehendrix · 2013-01-02 19:08:42

How do you "recompile "lockdev" with -fPIC" ? I have the same problem with libcec-git.

Sorry for the stupid question, I've been using arch for 2 days

@over - Search for the wiki for ABS. Welcome to Arch.
@perosb - Maybe you should open a bug report against lockdev?

perosb · 2013-01-03 09:20:49

apparently it's a arch package issue with libcec-git package.

https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/issues/64

libcec-git is linking to the static lockdev and not the shared one.

not sure if this will be solved by the libcec package maintainer; libcec is out of date version 1.9.0.
xbmc-12 requires >= 2.0.3

not building the static lockdev works too

Thank you graysky & perosb! And thank you graysky for reminding me of the the fantastic wiki

If other newbies like me wonder how the devlock/PKGBUILD should look like (thanx again to perosb):

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33280

just creating a symlink works

ln -s /lib/liblockdev.1.0.3.so /lib/liblockdev.so

I have updated libcec-git PKGBUILD. I had to upload a modified lockdev PKGBUILD.

I will add my words to the bug report to make the change be applied to the [community] package.
