help compiling add-on (pvr.mythtv) from source (Generic.x86_64)

hardware: Intel NUC

build env: (Ubuntu 16.04)

Kodi 17.3

Libreelec 8.0.2

Hi,

I'm new to building from source and I'm trying to build the latest pvr.mythtv from source for Libreelec since I can't seem to find any compiled binaries of the latest build.

I've followed the wiki on how to create a LibreElec build environment Compile - LibreELEC.

Now I'm stuck on how to continue building the add-on.

I have a folder named 'http://LibreELEC.tv/build.libreelec-generic.x86_64-9.0-dev/' and I'm wondering where I should do my git clone command like 'git clone --branch=Krypton https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.mythtv.git'

Can anyone help shed some light on what my next step is? If I've left out any info then please ask and I'll do my best to answer.

thanks

After the image is build you need to create addon

Code

PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 ./scripts/create_addon pvr.mythtv

do I need to be inside a certain folder when I do this first?

Edit: found out I need to be in my ~/L<ibreELEC.tv folder to run this.

Question: is this going to download the latest version of pvr.mythtv from git?

In LibreELEC folder. Same as when you build image.

thanks for that - I got it compiled and tried to install the .zip file created (pvr.mythtv-5.2.0.2.zip) and Kodi errored with 'The dependency on kodi.binary.global.gui version 5.11.0 could not be satisfied.'

The skin I'm using is Esturary, should I change the skin or take this over to the dev of the addon (Janbar)?

thanks

so far, I haven't removed the existing addon, only tried to install on top of it.

You need to compile for correct branch.

Which LE version you are using?

docjay · August 19, 2017 at 6:00 PM

Kodi 17.3

Libreelec 8.0.2

**vpeter** · August 19, 2017 at 6:19 PM

Did you run

Code

git checkout 8.0.2

after

Code

git clone

before making image and this addon?

I could have checked out the wrong version and just followed the wiki (7.0.2).

I'll start over and make sure I do 8.0.2 and go from there and report back.

thanks
