Compiling from Buildroot - Lessons learned

[xbmc4u]

Thanks Speedster & sensite but I don't think that is what I want to accomplish. That sounds like it will change the action of the Menu button in all screens and not just the Home.xml. I still want the context menu to work as normal in all the other screens. I only want to activate the Favourites with the Menu button only at the top level as Menu (or <c>) has no meaning in Home.xml.

What I really want to figure out is how does <s> in Home.xml map to <control type="button" id="20"> and then do the same trick to map <c> to <control type="button" id="21">.

Not really sure if that makes any sense.

keyboard.xml has different sections for button mappings - the global section is used if a mapping is not defined in one of the subsections (like FullScreeVideo for example).

Check out all the different mappings for <c> at https://github.com/Pivosgroup/xbmc/blob ... yboard.xml

Hi guys, i have a problem at the end of the build.
It used to work fine on ubuntu 10.10 but today i updated to 12.04 and
it seems to go fine, but at the end when signing the image something goes wrong:

/home/xxxxx/Downloads/my_htpc/buildroot-linux/output/host/usr/bin/fakeroot -- /home/xxxxx/Downloads/my_htpc/buildroot-linux/output/build/_fakeroot.fs
Reading files/folders...
Setting permissions...
Creating symlinks...
Done!
/home/xxxxx/Downloads/my_htpc/buildroot-linux/output/build/_fakeroot.fs: 2: /home/xxxxx/Downloads/my_htpc/buildroot-linux/output/build/_fakeroot.fs: pushd: not found
Error: Unable to access jarfile signapk.jar
rm -f /home/xxxxx/Downloads/my_htpc/buildroot-linux/output/build/.fakeroot*

- My python version 2.7.3
- My java runtime is OpenJDK 1.7.0

Also, a question, why is needed the java signing?

I think you should download oracle Jdk and try, I never tried with open Jdk.

hi, thanks for your answer.

tried installing jdk1.7 but still not working. the same error.

Solved!

This was a tricky one, since ubuntu 12 bash was replaced with dash wich does not have pushd / popd.
I just replaced the /bin/sh symlink from dash back to bash and it worked.

hi, thanks for your answer.

make: *** [/home/xbmc/buildroot-linux/output/build/jpeg-1.1.90/.stamp_downloaded] Error 1

So I copy the file with same name from following link to buildroot/dl/ and run make again. it seems like package get install, but gives following error again.

Any solution please

------------------
Seems like I might have fix it for now by installing lateste 1.2.1 version, still compiling the build. Lets see if this file from other source make it work.
What should I need to run on xbmc to see if this different libjpeg-turbo working as original one supposed to do?
