xbmc package

Hi,

I'm trying to add xbmc package to buildroot and have problem how to
fix one dependency problem.
Problem is with mysql_config which is requested by xmbc during config phase.
I add mysql_client dependency (mysql_config is installed in staging)
but xbmc config
still complain. I've check that qt use similar with configure option
but xbmc don't have such an option.

Any ideas how to fix that?

config.log from xmbc attached.



Regards,

marek

 You'll have to tell the configure script to look for mysql_config in
the staging directory.  See for instance how fontconfig.mk tells its
configure to use the freetype-config from the staging directory.

 ... except that the xbmc people don't seem to know how to write
a configure.ac.  You can't properly override the MYSQL_CONFIG
variable.  You'll have to fix configure.ac :-(

 The alternative would be to let mysql_client.mk install mysql_config
in some new target-config-bin directory that is prepended to the path
for target builds.  But that's also a lot of work.

 The --disable-debug should probably be:

$(if $(BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG),--enable-debug,--disable-debug)

 And gl is provided by the mesa3d package - it probably
should be a configure option, though.  Or you can do
something like

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D),y)
XBMC_DEPENDENCIES += mesa3d
XBMC_CONF_OPT += --enable-gl
else
XBMC_CONF_OPT += --disable-gl
endif

Hmm I'm not an expert of these things. Maybe some pointers could help.
Thanks.
