Compile add-on without compiling image

mfizz · January 18, 2019 at 9:36 PM

As stated, I want to compile add-on without compiling the image. It takes forever to compile on my not so powerful machine and then one error it all stops and I have to start again.

I just want to compile the add-on not the image.

Is it possible?

Code

PROJECT=.... ./scripts/create_addon name_of_addon

Thank You. It is the first thing I tried, I just thought that compiling an addon wouldn't take that long. In the terminal i see almost every other thing to do with libreelec except the addon that is meant to be compiled lol.

Does some part of the image need to be compiled as well for the addon, if you have never compiled anything before? (brand new vm ubuntu)

Addon handles everything it needs.

Thank you, I am struggling a little bit though, it says:

So I deleted the file considering I don't even need Tvh with hdhomerun. But the compile later fails with error:

This should be fixed at latest master, i run into the same problem while updating tvheadend

Or do you try to update to tvh 4.3?

mfizz · January 19, 2019 at 4:26 PM

Hi i was trying to compile 4.3 master.
