copying.txt is no longer present in the source distro (Errors the build)
kodi binary will not load unless fstrcmp installed
kodi binary now requires lirc library to load (No longer optional)
Patch enclosed. (This will build the Leia Alpha 3 tag) https://ptpb.pw/i23Z
new dependency fstrcmp https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/14221
Thank you for all the information, the package should work fine now.
Can confirm the LICENSE.GPL issue. The license files changed to markdown in a commit from April:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/40fe25d9c4890e6d64e74b70eecee84a82d04928
Changing LICENSE.GPL to LICENSE.md in the PKGBUILD fixed the issue.
Hi, packaging fails to me:
mv: cannot stat '/tmp/yaourt-tmp-danysk/aur-kodi-git/pkg/kodi-git/usr/share/doc/kodi/LICENSE.GPL': No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package_kodi-git(). Aborting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build kodi-git.
Can Anybody else confirm the issue?
As mentioned by @cspack77, lirc also needs to be installed during build.
The enclosed PKGBUILD patch gives me a working Leia Alpha-2 binary with LIRC remote support. This patch also corrects my earlier issue with libcec.
Thank you for maintaining this. I was dying for a Kodi-19 preview.
FYI, the binary will not start unless libcec.so.4 is installed. So I guess libcec needs to be moved to the "depends" list.
This was built in a clean chroot, so no unnecessary junk was lying around when built.
lirc is now a make dependency. https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/6e156bea5bf3a7fb8967e888238b6a07b967a90b
Since the last ffmpeg update to Version 1:3.4.2-2 kodi is compile without error but start with this error:
ffmpeg[7FFAACA5C900]: Invalid return value 0 for stream protocol 12:11:39.467 T:140714615097600 DEBUG: Previous line repeats 5 times. 12:11:39.467 T:140714615097600 ERROR: Could not find suitable input format: image/png
and segfault.
If i enable the buildin ffmpeg from kodi in the package.conf kodi is working again but is logical bigger and i like to get rid of double packages.
Im the onlyone with this problem?
@sarvex: This is not possible because the dynamic version number is calculated from the amount of commits on Git since the last major release.

@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.
