3. Copy/opt/VC/include to/usr/include
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sudo CP-r/opt/VC/include/*/usr/include
Sudo CP/opt/VC/include/interface/VCOs/pthreads/*/usr/include/interface/VCOs

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Create Symbolic Links for libegl and libglesv2 from/opt/VC/lib to/usr/lib and/usr/lib/ARM-Linux-gnueabihf

5. Get the latest xbmc from git
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Git clone -- depth 1 git: // github.com/xbmc/xbmc-rbp.git

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Prepare the xbmc code for compilation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CD xbmc-RBP/
Sed-I's/use_buildroot = 1/use_buildroot = 0/'tools/RBP/setup-sdk.sh
Sed-I's/toolchain =\/ USR \/Local \/BCM-gcc/toolchain =\/ usr/'tools/RBP/setup-sdk.sh
Sudo sh tools/RBP/setup-sdk.sh
Sed-I's/CD $ (source); $ (configure)/# cd $ (source); $ (configure)/'tools/RBP/depends/xbmc/makefile

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Build the xmbc build tools
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make-C tools/RBP/depends/xbmc/

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Configure xbmc
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
./Configure -- prefix =/usr -- Build = arm-Linux-gnueabihf -- Host = arm-Linux-gnueabihf \
-- Localstatedir =/var/lib -- With-platform = raspberry-pi -- disable-gl -- enable-gles \
-- Disable-x11 -- disable-SDL -- enable-ccache -- enable-optimizations \
-- Enable-external-libraries -- disable-goom -- disable-Hal -- disable-pulse \
-- Disable-vaapi -- disable-vdpau -- disable-xrandroid -- disable-airplay \
-- Disable-ALSA -- enable-avahi -- disable-libbluray -- disable-dvdcss \
-- Disable-Debug -- disable-joystick -- enable-mid -- disable-NFS -- disable-profiling \
-- Disable-projectm -- enable-rsxs -- enable-rtmp -- disable-vaapi \
-- Disable-vdadecoder -- disable-external-FFMPEG -- disable-optical-drive

setting
9. fix up some of the make files
using
SED-I's/-msse2 // 'lib/libsquish/makefile
SED-I's/-dsquish_use_sse = 2 // 'lib/libsquish/makefile
usage
10. Make xbmc
usage
> make
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Install xbmc as root
quit
sudo make install
