Bringing kodi to Dports ?

Myu-Unix commented 7 years ago

Hello there,

Is there anything we (the community) can do to bring kodi to Dports ? FreeBSD has it and it looks in good shape (https://www.freshports.org/multimedia/kodi/)

If there's any way to collaborate to make this happening, I would be glad to, any pointers welcome !

Have a good day !

see: http://muscles.dragonflybsd.org/synth/snap-failures/Report/ then multimedia/kodi => "Issue with multimedia/libcec" then multimedia/libcec => "Failed build phase" then log => http://muscles.dragonflybsd.org/synth/snap-failures/multimedia___libcec.log hundreds of error lines starting with

so you need to fix libcec before you even speak about kodi (which may or may not build out of the box after libcec is fixed).

note there are many other types of errors present, not just this LIB_INFO one. see the log.

Hello John,

Thank you for you thorough explanation, much appreciated.

Unfortunately, I don't have the skills the dive deep into this C code... so I'll pass on this one and try to find other ways to help DragonFly :)

Thank you for your work on this project !

Cheers.

Couldn't you simply build without multimedia/libcec? Better have it without CEC than not at all.

It's not like most folks running HTPC would need it, only those owning CEC adapter do.

In FreeBSD ports it's optional (by default selected) and multimedia/kodi would build fine with CEC unticked in make menuconfig menu.

It still doesn't build: checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes configure: error: unsupported host (x86_64-portbld-dragonfly5.1) ===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.

So it needs at least one patch. I would guess more.

I got an email, but the comment isn't here? was it deleted? The answer is the __FILE issues are relatively common. They are relatively easy to fix in C, but sometimes impossible to fix in C++. I've even disabled functionality to work around it in c++ before. Basically the c++ code is doing something it really shouldn't, something obviously not portable.

ahtotaat commented 6 years ago

Yeah, sorry I deleted it after thinking it over. I figured you do have already more than plenty else to do and decided I shouldn't bother you with it.

multimedia/kodi is now in dports
