    The patch for tinyxml2 does not work here...

    I build for github master (LE9) - works here without problems (I build for Generic).

    BTW: how to get your latest (unmerged) commits?

    there are several ways, maybe easiest

    Code
    git remote add cvh-git https://github.com/CvH/LibreELEC.tv.git

    adds my repo to your git

    Code
    git remote -v

    should list all available repos

    Code
    git fetch

    should get the latest information from all gits

    and git checkout 9.0-vdr-epg should switch to my branch

    you can ofc also hand pic any change you like

    curl -L https://github.com/CvH/LibreELEC.tv/commit/fecfa09d9fe7f98c376834a098d236f268952775.patch | git am - 

    ^^^ that adds an commit + commit it under the original commit message/author

    curl -L https://github.com/CvH/LibreELEC.tv/commit/fecfa09d9fe7f98c376834a098d236f268952775.patch | git apply -

    ^^^ that just merges the changes

    all you need is replace the sha256 hash to the commit you like and add .patch

    hmm...

    Code
    lutz@libreelec:/develop/LibreELEC.tv$ git remote -v
cvh-git	https://github.com/CvH/LibreELEC.tv.git (fetch)
cvh-git	https://github.com/CvH/LibreELEC.tv.git (push)

lutz@libreelec:/develop/LibreELEC.tv$ git checkout 9.0-vdr-epg
error: pathspec '9.0-vdr-epg' did not match any file(s) known to git.
    Code
    I am going to checkout 9.0-vdr-epg

    ok - checked out - compiles fine except for the zlib - stuff:

    Code
    sr/include/mysql -o epg2vdr.o epg2vdr.cIn file included from lib/config.h:11:0,from plgconfig.h:12,from epg2vdr.c:11:lib/common.h:15:18: fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directorycompilation terminated.make: *** [Makefile:122: epg2vdr.o] Error 1lutz@libreelec:/develop/LibreELEC.tv


    which i fixed in the Makefile - now it ends up like this (what is quite exactly hwat was going wrong in the first approach also):

    Hmm zlib worked for me, but this is a minor problem.

    I get exactly the same output - no idea actually.

    I tried strip_gold and strip_lto but doesn't change anything. Maybe a general bug or something (ofc we could miss something)? Maybe worth to ask at vdr-portal.de at the plugin thread if they know whats up.

    Code
    BUILD    vdr-plugin-epg2vdr (target)
    TOOLCHAIN    make (auto-detect)
g++ .........

    Seems it is used compiler from host.

    Adding CC="$CXX" to make helps.

    Line

    Code
    cp --remove-destination $ROOT/$PKG_BUILD/${LIB_NAME}.so $ROOT/$PKG_BUILD/${LIB_NAME}.so.${VDR_APIVERSION}

    is also wrong: there shouldn't not be $ROOT/ used.

    will make image take the plugin? Or is there sth else to do?

    I am currently making an image for wetek play 2 - hope it works as desired. If it does - i will need to build it on 8.2.3 to work properly with my other instances of kodi/LE...

    strangely the plugin is really big - no idea if this is normal

    whole Tvheadend is around ~6-7Mb (with much more functions then VDR can provide even with plugins), just the epg2vdr plugin is around 8mb ...

    My zip is 6.1 MB, unzipped 18MB.

    libvdr-epg2vdr.so.2.3.8 is 5 MB.
