Installing Xbox Media Center (XBMC) On Fedora 9 (i386)
Installing Xbox Media Center (XBMC) On Fedora 9 (i386)Version 1.0 The Xbox Media Center (XBMC) is a media center application for Linux, Mac, and Windows that allows you to manage/watch/listen to/view your videos, music, and pictures. It has a nice interface, can be controlled from the desktop or a remote control or via its built-in web interface, and it can be extended by custom scripts. This guide shows how you can install XBMC on a Fedora 9 desktop (i386). I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Installing XBMCFirst, open a terminal (Applications > System Tools > Terminal): Go to your home directory and become root: cd ~ There's no pre-built XBMC package for Fedora 9, so we must build it ourselves. Before we can do so, we need to install a few prerequisites: yum groupinstall 'Development Tools' yum groupinstall 'Development Libraries' yum install subversion Then we check out the XBMC sources: svn co http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport/ Now we add the Livna repository to our system... rpm -Uvh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm ... and install some further prerequisites (the command goes in one line!): yum install fribidi* libogg libogg-devel SDL* glew glew-devel libvorbis libvorbis-devel gperf libmad-devel tre tre-devel boost boost-devel bzip2-devel bzip2-libs curl-devel lzo lzo-devel libXinerama-devel mysql-libs mysql-devel freetype-devel jasper jasper-devel sqlite-devel faac faac-devel enca enca-devel hal hal-devel hal-libs cmake nasm libXmu-devel fontconfig-devel pcre-devel gcc-c++ ln -s /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so Now we can start building XBMC: cd linuxport/XBMC/ After the ./configure command has succeeded, type make ... and be patient - this can take some time. It is possible that make stops with an error. If you get the following error... In file included from GUIButtonControl.cpp:26: ... do this... cd xbmc ... and run make again. If you get the following error... LaTeX Warning: Reference `dvdcss_8h' on page 1 undefined on input line 5. ... cancel the build process by pressing CTRL+C and open xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/Codecs/libDVDCSS/doc/latex/dvdcss_8h.tex: gedit xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/Codecs/libDVDCSS/doc/latex/dvdcss_8h.tex In line 49 you should find the string \item[Author:]Stéphane Borel $<${\tt stef@via.ecp.fr}$>$ - replace the é in the name with a normal e so that it looks as follows: [...]
\item[Author:]Stephane Borel $<${\tt stef@via.ecp.fr}$>$
[...]
Then run make again. If you get the following error... In file included from tif_ojpeg.c:35: ... do this... cp xbmc/lib/cximage-6.0/jpeg/jpegint.h /usr/include/ ... and run make again. After the make command has succeeded, run make install Afterwards, exit the root shell... exit ... and start XBMC: xbmc If you don't want to start XBMC from the command line, then the next chapter is for you.
