Arch Linux User Repository

@laichiaheng - kodi is bound to a specific version of ffmpeg which is generally older than Arch's package. We avoid incompatibilities by using that specific version (ie internal ffmpeg). Recommend that you build kodi in clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.

Had to run updpkgsums and now it compiles

PR 28977 is merged already. Had to edit PKGBUILD to remove the patch because it was failing.

Can you add kodi to the provides array in the PKGBUILD please?

Unable to build at the moment.

libudfread has been upgraded to 1.2.0 and the archive replaced with a .tar.bz2.

Following patch fixes this:

I bisected the problem to https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/42aab8bf10adc59bac7715fac63e68cd4a6d6a99

https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/27537

I get the same, have you checked for an open issue upstream? If not, can you please open one?

The build fails for me right at the end on the linking stage.

I've tried on 2 different computers and also change the linker from gold to mold, similar error with that too.

Thanks @dobo
