Re: [SOLVED] How install Kodi on Arch Linux

I try the yaourt and from the git but always get errors.

First, I'd recommend never using yaourt for anything (except perhaps as a means of extracting information from enemy combatants).  Definitely don't use yaourt if you are new to arch and/or the AUR.  Use makepkg.

As for the errors - we can't help if you don't tell us what the errors are.  The kodi-git package in the AUR has quite a few votes and is not marked out of date, so I'd suspect it can work well.

Maybe i install wrong ... i donwload the tarball, and extract and run this command  makepkg -s -L

and after on install on the end i have this errors:

PeripheralCecAdapter.cpp: In member function ‘void PERIPHERALS::CPeripheralCecAdapter::SetConfigurationFromSettings()’:
PeripheralCecAdapter.cpp:1272:35: error: ‘CEC_CLIENT_VERSION_2_2_0’ was not declared in this scope
