Can I build just an addon from the LE repo?

**edit4ever** · September 23, 2017 at 3:33 PM

I need to do some testing of patches for the TVheadend service - but I've only done builds of the full LE for my RPi3 - what command would I use to just build the TvH addon? And where would I need to put the patch file if I'm just building the addon?

Put patch in appropriate folder. For tvh in tvh/patches folder.

You can build only addon without building image first.

I've dropped in the patch - but when I run this command:

Code

PROJECT=RPi2 ARCH=arm ./scripts/create_addon tvheadend42

I get the following error:

I've run a full build from here before - so I'm not sure what is happening now. Do I have the build command line correct for the Tvh addon?

You'll need to add this patch for 8.0 (it's only in 8.2 and master trees, cherry-pick should work fine):

dvb-apps: fix compilation with current perl versions · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv@6bb3d95 · GitHub

so long,

Thanks for that. I'll just move over to 8.2 and give it a go from there.
