I get an error when compiling master (99):

francoism90: Indeed, when building for Krypton, kodi-platform and kodi-platform-git are identical. So I could depend on kodi-platform in that case. The dependency on the -git package has the following reasons:

1. Every version of kodi should be used with a specific version of kodi-platform. There are many people using this package with newer or older versions of Kodi than what is in the Arch repository.

2. The version of kodi-platform in the Arch repository has in the past deviated from the version corresponding to the current kodi release which lead to build failures etc.

Why does it has kodi-platform-git as make, and not kodi-platform? It compiles without any issues here when using the non git one.

Thanks. :)

@Plexcon: The actual error will be printed somewhere above the lines you pasted here. If you want to post it here, please export LANG=C before running makepkg so that the output is in English.

I had a look into the kodi-git and kodi-pre-release packages and they seem to also create a kodi-dev-git / kodi-dev-pre-release package. I guess this contains the necessary files.

Since there are different kodi packages here in AUR and the official repositories, I cannot really include this as a makedepend. I guess I will add a comment to the PKGBUILD…

I installed version 17 Krypton of kodi-git, and now it is working. Seems some files are just missing from the new master branch...should I notify someone?

@Bevan okay, thank you for helping though. I will look somewhere else. Maybe this is some new "feature" in the v18 alpha

What kodi package are you using? It should definitely contain these files to allow building addons. There is not much we can do on our side here :-/

@Bevan the list is empty, there is no files with cmake ending


I want to edit that I have kodi-git installed today, and actually it is not v17 Krypton as I previously told. It's some v18 alpha. Does it have something to do with this?
