Compile addon tips, the right way

Hi,

I try to compile a addon from a git, i get work, but not the really good ways, cause i get the .so file and need to pack manual to a zip, and not a bit elegant way.

My way, after i do compile of libreelec steps ,

$ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/http://LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-devel/toolchain/etc/cmake-armv8a-libreelec-linux-gnueabi.conf -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug /http://LibreELEC.tv/pvr.iptvsimple.multi/

for ex, whats the better way, for do same but with good result, of zip file addon.

Thx for any tip!

Right, but when i try for ex with pvr.iptvsimple they take source from oficial , and no take my source downloaded from git. I put in libreelec home dir, or need to be place in special dir? thx!!

Like i see the sources are put in ,

http://LibreELEC.tv/sources $

now, if i use the script create_addon they download from original source and put files in

pvr.iptvsimple $ ls

pvr.iptvsimple-ac4f4bd.tar.gz pvr.iptvsimple-ac4f4bd.tar.gz.sha256 pvr.iptvsimple-ac4f4bd.tar.gz.url

but how i make for add my own sources downloaded from a git?

thx!

Quote from chewitt

change PKG_URL in package.mk to use a new upstream source URL then clean/rebuild the package

Ohh now i got it the idea, thx for the tip!
