Goto: Installing XBMC for Linux

This is a tutorial on how to install XBMC on Fedora 8/9/10/11/12 & CentOS 5.2

Checkout from subversion

svn co https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk/ XBMC

Install Packages

Fedora 8-12

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

CentOS 5 (32)

rpm -Uvh http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

CentOS 5 (64)

rpm -Uvh http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

Configure

Just to appease the configure application, you may have to show it where libmysqlclient is.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so cd XBMC/ ./bootstrap ./configure

With the above installed packages this should go smoothly :)

Build

make

Install

make install

When this completes you are done!

For Fedora 10-12, SELinux will prevent loading of some .so files due to potential security problems. To allow the loading of these files (thats what you probably want), simply open a terminal and as sudo (or as root) execute the following commands:

chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/local/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/avutil-50-i486-linux.so' chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/local/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/avcodec-52-i486-linux.so' chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/local/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/avformat-52-i486-linux.so' chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/local/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/swscale-0.6.1-i486-linux.so'

Simply log into Gnome (or KDE) and open up a terminal and type 'xbmc' and it will load.

Fedora Kickstart File

Here is the kickstart file created by Cookieboy that was used to create the Fedora 12 buildslave. You can use this to do a full install with all the required packages to build XBMC from Source. This kickstart file will grab the packages from the Internet. You can modify the kickstart file to grab all the packages it can from the CDROM install and then the Net for the other packages if you would like. Cookieboy created the file with a local fedora repo rsynced down on a local network. This file has been modified to download from the public Internet.

After this kickstart file is used, in the /source folder you will find two scripts. One will download the latest CrystalHD header files to compile against, as well as a simple script to download xbmc trunk to the /source folder. Run those if you wish, and you can edit them to suit your needs. The other thing this file does, is turn on yum-updatesd and has it run every 24 hours to download any system updates so that they can be installed quickly.
