Comments on Installing Xbox Media Center (XBMC) On Fedora 9 (i386)

On Fedora 10 (and possibly other Fedora & non-fedora distro's), I had to install an additional 2 packages to get the current XBMC version (9.04) to compile, libsamplerate-devel and libcdio-devel.

yum -y install libsamplerate-devel libcdio-devel

Hope that helps someone!

I got an error regarding samplerate.h. Finally found:

yum install libsamplerate-devel libcdio-devel

resolved the missing dependency.

yum install libmad-devel

I unable to check out sourcode. svn: REPORT request failed on '/svnroot/xbmc/!svn/vcc/default' svn: REPORT of '/svnroot/xbmc/!svn/vcc/default': Could not read response body: Connection reset by peer (http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net) how can I resolve this?

This happened to me as well since 4 months back. However, the problem is not on your side but on the server side. It could be a bandwidth problem or application error on the host. Anyway, try it again after some time and it would work. If I am not mistaken, I tried 4-5 times before it worked.

Hi,

I am trying to install Boxee on Fedora 10, but when I tried ./configure, I got the following error. 

checking mad.h usability... no
checking mad.h presence... no
checking for mad.h... no
configure: error: ERROR: Could not find a required library. Please see README.linux

Mad.h in the xmbc directory. Do I just need to specify where to find it?

[XBMC]# find . -name "mad.h" -print
./xbmc/cores/paplayer/MP3Codec/libmad-0.15.1b/msvc++/mad.h
./xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDCodecs/Audio/libmad/mad.h
./xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/Codecs/libmad/msvc++/mad.h

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Worked great, I built it on fedora 10.

Thanks alot.

I built it on fedora 10 too, but ran into some problems when doing below command:

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++

The problem was that most packages had been moved from the Livna repository to RPM Fusion. So to enable access to the RPM Fusion repository, I did:

rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm

After that I ran the yum command again and this time everything worked fine.

Thanx a lot for the great howto

Everything goes smoothly until I run ./configure and then I get the error: 

"checking for samplerate.h... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform." 

Has anyone else encountered this? 

I'm having the same problem. I Tried the install command gain.

    `yum install libmad`

     `yum install libmad-devel

 I then get the following error:

 Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit               
Setting up Install Process                       
Parsing package install arguments                
No package libmad-devel available.               
Nothing to do 

Does anyone know (in detail) how to correct this?

hi! i've downloaded the missing updates and it seemed to worked, after downloaded them  i re-type: cd linuxport/XBMC/
./configure and now the problem is:

checking for main in -lmms... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.

 someone had a solution please?
