Errors when compiling xbmc - Goom?

[rossgemuend]

I keep getting this error when trying to make xbmc. I hope I'm just missing a dependency or something, because I haven't heard of other people getting this error and I've repeated this error on the last 6 reformats I've performed.:

configure.in:4: version mismatch. This is Automake 1.10.2,
configure.in:4: but the definition used by this AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
configure.in:4: comes from Automake 1.10.1. You should recreate
configure.in:4: aclocal.m4 with aclocal and run automake again.
make[2]: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/xbmc/XBMC/xbmc/visualizations/Goom/goom2k4-0'
make[1]: *** [goom2k4-0/src/.libs/libgoom2.a] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/xbmc/XBMC/xbmc/visualizations/Goom'
make: *** [visualizations] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Installed Ubuntu Jaunty minimal cd

2. sudo apt-get update

3. sudo apt-get install xorg build-essential gcc xserver-xorg-dev linux-headers-`uname -r`


4. installed all packages listed in README.linux

5. Rebooted

6. Downloaded and installed NVIDIA driver 185.19
sudo wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/185.19/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.19-pkg1.run
sudo sh NVIDIA-*

* I did receive the following warning while installing the driver:

WARNING: You appear to be using a modular X.Org release, but the X library
installation path, 'X: warning; process set to priority -2 instead
of requested priority 0
/usr/lib', reported by `/usr/bin/X -showDefaultLibPath` does not
exist. Please check your X.Org installation.


*rebooted

7. Installed latest Alsa update:
sudo sh AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.16.sh -di

*also configured the alsamixer and rebooted again, but that shouldn't matter.

8. Installed subversion and download the latest SVN of xbmc (I have received the same error listed in the beginning of this post with SVNs ranging from the early 19000s to now (19869):

sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo svn checkout https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport/XBMC

9. configured xbmc
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-vdpau --disable-pulse

10. Attempted to make -j2
sudo make -j2

Other possibly related info:

Motherboard - Asus P5N7A-VM w/ nvidia 9300
Processor - Intel C2D 3.0GHz


Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

cd xbmc/visualizations/Goom/goom2k4-0"
./autogen.sh --enable-static --with-pic

Should do the trick

After this just ./configure and make again.

Hope that helps

Thanks! One question though... should the Goom directory in the visualization folder exist before running ./configure or make? It doesn't seem to exist when I pull the latest SVN.

Same issue here, xbmc/visualizations/Goom/goom2k4-0 does not exist.

Your checkout must have failed. Try to "svn update"
