============================= Linux, OS-X, BSD

Start by executing: ./bootstrap

To install add-ons into /path/to/XBMC: ./configure --prefix=/path/to/XBMC make install

To build all PVR add-ons as .zip archives: ./configure make zip

Building addons with dependencies:

The build method described above excludes addons that depend on runtime libraries. This is because the installed versions of the dependend libraries on the build-machine and the target machine have to match exactly. Therefore this addons cannot be distributed easily.

Distribution package maintainers and users who build the addons on their target machine can enable the build of addons with dependencies:

./configure --enable-addons-with-dependencies

List of addons with dependencies:

• MythTV addon: Build dependencies: libmysqlclient, boost (headers) Runtime dependencies: libmysqlclient
• IPTV Simple addon: Build dependencies: zlib

============================= Windows

Building the pvr addons standalone:

Prepare: 1) Install Visual C++ Express 2010 (follow the instructions on the wiki for XBMC itself) Compile: 2) Run project\BuildDependencies\DownloadBuildDeps.bat 3) Open this solution from project\VS2010Express\xbmc-pvr-addons.sln 4) Select the wanted configuration "Debug" or "Release" 5) Press F7 to build the solution Install: Still a TODO. The buildsystem does not yet generate .zip archives Workaround: copy the wanted pvr addons to your XBMC installation by hand. Example: addons\pvr.demo\addon*. => YOUR_XBMC_DIR\addons\pvr.demo*.

Building the pvr addons together with xbmc:

TODO describe how to import the "xbmc-pvr-addons.sln" in "XBMC for Windows.sln"

XBMC Windows installer with included pvr addons:

Not yet possible. Still a TODO.
