XBMC not Starting. - molesza - 2007-11-06
Hi all
Firstly a great thanks to the team behind the porting of XBMC. Idea of the century! Cant wait to stream HD to my Plasma
I decided to try out the port today and got it working alright but the speed wasn't great so I reinstalled ubuntu 7.10 and installed the latest ati drivers from ati.com using a tutorial for my Radeon X800.
Then I downloaded XBMC and compiled it but it wont start saying that there is no guisettings.xml which there is.
Can someone tell me what is happening or is it a bug with todays build?
below is the text I receive when trying to start using ./XboxMediaCenter
a black windows opens but XBMC does not start Here is the log.
Compiled with libcdio Version 0.76

It seems that its someting with the path:
Unable to load /home/moles/XBMC/UserData/guisettings.xml, creating new /home/moles/XBMC/UserData/guisettings.xml with default values
Unable to save settings to /home/moles/XBMC/UserData/guisettings.xml
I suppose it should have been /home/moles/XBMC/BUILD/UserData/guisettings.xml. ?
Try to build a new xbmc with the DEST switch and see if that helps.
Not sure of the syntax but something like this:
./build.sh DEST=/home/moles/XBMCRUN CONFIGOPT=--disable-joystick CONFIGOPT=-disable-debug
This will make a new directory XBMCRUN with the xbcmlinux binary.
