    Need help compiling xbmc for Natty

    Natty 11.04
    KDE 4.6.5

    http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title..._Debian/Ubuntu

    Everything worked fine until I got to the 'Configure, Build, Install' part of the Compilation. The following appeared on the konsole:

    steven@Yeshuah:~$ cd xbmc
    steven@Yeshuah:~/xbmc$ ./bootstrap
    ./bootstrap: 5: autoreconf: not found
    steven@Yeshuah:~/xbmc$ ./configure
    bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
    steven@Yeshuah:~/xbmc$ ./configure --enable-external-libraries
    bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
    steven@Yeshuah:~/xbmc$ make
    make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
    steven@Yeshuah:~/xbmc$ sudo make install
    make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.
    steven@Yeshuah:~/xbmc$

    Fascinated by the youtube presentation, I attempted to create the compilation. I could not find a download site or any current data on the application after April this year.

    This is a bit beyond my abilities; is there anyone who can help me? Thanks!

      Re: Need help compiling xbmc for Natty

      I went to each link, and I am unable to understand well enough to use the information you gave me.
      One thing I have noticed is that when I attempt to add a ppa, I enter the address in the add box, but the choice that would allow it to be included remains greyed out, so I am unsure if I have attempted a link address or a ppa address.

      I am retired and mostly use my computer for entertainment and artwork, so I though I would try to make my computer a media center. Perhaps the application I am interested in has failed and been removed. In any event, thank you for trying to help me.

      I will keep an eye out to see of anyone else has the willingness or ability to help in the matter, at least for a while.

      It appears you went to a great deal of effort to help me, and I am too unskilled to take advantage of your kindness. You guys, who help are terrific and most appreciated.

        Documents, Documents & Documents

        It is a bit easier to use the Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Linux/Computer if you read the documents.

        Your Kubuntu installation should have: K -> Applications -> Help -> Kubuntu Documentation

        The Kubuntu Forums has HowTo/Experimentation/Customization/Optimization Kubuntu Forums -> Important Information -> Documentation

        The Ubuntu has: https://help.ubuntu.com/ and the wiki pages: https://help.ubuntu.com/community

        The KDE has: http://kde.org/documentation/ and the wiki pages: http://userbase.kde.org/


        XBMC- "The contents of Personal Package Archives are not checked or monitored. You install software from them at your own risk."


        Few ways to install a recent version of the XBMC. Using the Kubuntu 11.10.

        Searching a PPA with the XBMC. Picking the Nathan Rennie-Waldock's XBMC Nightly:
