git and building from source

[sub]

If you dont know what git is, and haven't been building the addon from source then dont bother reading any further...this is not the thread for you

For those of you that have been building the addon from source, can you clone my https://github.com/sub3/xbmc-pvr-addons repository again and try to build the addon?

You'll have to clone the repository, rather than just pulling the latest updates because I've deleted the repository and recreated it. This was part of a tidy up working towards getting the nextpvr addon merged to it's upstream master repository. They'd asked me to squash all the commits, but I was having problems doing this since I'd merged up updates that had been made in the master. In the end it just seemed easier to delete the repository entirely and start again. I think it should back to how it was, but I'd be interested in confirmation that Linux users can build it. Thanks.

Builds fine on xbmcbuntu (32bit) patched up to frodo. Tried to install it on a git version from yesterday, throws xbmc into crashloop. Nothing exiting in debug/crashlog

Could be that that xvba "fork" hasn't pulled in the API 1.4 yet, I don't know how to check for that. My build from 3.Oct works. I'm fairly certain this xbmc is still on API 1.3, probably why it's crashing.

Windows builds fine for me too.

@KRA - Try this ppa - https://launchpad.net/~nathan-renniewald...es_filter=
I build an Ubuntu 32 bit machine and it has the 1.4 api updates.

Thanks for link, but I prefer to stick with xvba patched version since I have ATi gfx.
