Compile using external lib for OrangePi

ErwinH · February 28, 2017 at 10:19 AM

I'm trying to compile LibreElec 7.95.3 with added support for the OrangePI with CedarX (I know of the license issues, but still I'd like to have this running)

I'm up to the point I can get a working image without the external libs for CedarX but when I add the DVDCodec for CedarX I can't link the kodi.bin.
The error I receive is:
DVDVideoCodecCedarX.cpp:294: undefined reference to `InitializeVideoDecoder'
DVDVideoCodecCedarX.cpp:312: undefined reference to `DestroyVideoDecoder'
And quite a lot more.

I believe I'm missing the link to the libs but can't figure out where to add those. I've added the following to configure.ac but it still won't use the libs:
AC_CHECK_LIB([vdecoder], main, LIBS="$LIBS -lvdecoder -lMemAdapter", AC_MSG_ERROR($missing_library))
XB_ADD_CODEC([CEDARX], [cedarx], [$codecs])
What am I missing?

Maybe you should look here for a tips?

That was my starting point.

The thing is, I got it running up to the hardware support bit. Compiling isn't a problem, just linking the CXX executable kodi.bin doesn't work because it can't find the vdecoder and memagent libs even tho it's mentioned in the configure.ac

I see.

Then try adding your extra libs here. Maybe it will help.

Progress! Was able to link kodi by altering the http://kodi.dir/build.make file and the http://kodi.dir/link.txt file. Now I have to find out where those files are filled.
