Errors building PVR.HTS addon from source for Kodi 17 - abga - 2016-10-17
Hi,
I got the latest Popcornmix for my Raspberry Pi 2 compiled ( https://github.com/popcornmix/xbmc.git ) and found out that I have no PVR addons, nor am I able to download any from within Kodi GUI. I've been looking after the PVR.HTS addon and found the source code on:
https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.hts/tree/master
Actually I was looking after a zip file that I could install through Kodi GUI or a way to build one without recompiling the whole Kodi.
My Kodi 17 source files reside in (relative to the pvr.hts/build directory) ../../../tmp/SBo/xbmc-17/ and these were the steps I followed:
cd /kit/kodi-slack-build/pvr.hts && mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DADDONS_TO_BUILD=pvr.hts -DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../../tmp/SBo/xbmc-17/xbmc/addons -DPACKAGE_ZIP=1 ../../../tmp/SBo/xbmc-17/project/cmake/addons
make -j 4 V=1
It looks like there is also a mistake in the instructions on github, as the directory /xbmc/project/cmake/addons does not exist and I had to change it to /project/cmake/addons
By running the compilation instructions, I got into an error:
-- Build files have been written to: /kit/kodi-slack-build/pvr.hts/build/build/bootstrap

See also "/kit/kodi-slack-build/pvr.hts/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
CMakeOutput.log doesn't really contain anything interesting, but I can provide it if needed. And, I'm not sure what the message "No addons available to be built" means.
I would be really thankful if someone can provide me with a way to get the pvr.hts addon compiled and installed in Kodi 17 Popcornmix.
RE: Errors building PVR.HTS addon from source for Kodi 17 - wsnipex - 2016-10-17
the instructions you followed for building are for developers, use this instead:
Code:
cd /kit/kodi-slack-build/pvr.hts && mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make installRE: Errors building PVR.HTS addon from source for Kodi 17 - abga - 2016-10-17
Thank you very much! It worked!
I'm wondering why are you not writing down a short Addons Build HowTo an post it somewhere in the Kodi Docs - it will save you a lot of time with Kodi noobs like me.
First I had to download and build both pulse8 and kodi-platform:
git clone https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/platform.git
cd platform/
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make -j 4 && make install
ldconfig
git clone https://github.com/xbmc/kodi-platform.git
cd kodi-platform/
make -j 4 && make install
ldconfig
and then download and compile pvr.hts - Successfully!
git clone https://github.com/kodi-pvr/pvr.hts.git
cd pvr.hts/
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make -j 4 && make install
ldconfig
ls -al /usr/lib/kodi/addons/

However, as I gained more courage and considered that I might need the pvr.dvbviewer too, I tried to compile it and ended up with an error.
git clone https://github.com/manuelm/pvr.dvbviewer.git
cd pvr.dvbviewer
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:10 (find_package):
By not providing "Findkodi.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "kodi", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "kodi" with any of
the following names:
kodiConfig.cmake
kodi-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "kodi" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"kodi_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "kodi"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.
I've found your older post and apparently I need the file kodi-config.cmake to be present in /usr/lib/kodi/:

It looks like I have a KodiConfig.cmake file instead (just some playing around with the naming and the addon sources haven't got updated) and after I copied:
cp /usr/lib/kodi/KodiConfig.cmake /usr/lib/kodi/kodiConfig.cmake
I was able to compile and install the pvr.dvbviewer addon too!
