How to build addon for CoreELEC?

[nfm886]

Hey!
I’m curious how can I build addon for CoreELEC? I know it’s kind of different than download an arm version of addon for example. Is there a step by step guide for it?
I need to build an inputstream.adaptive addon from github repo, because I need latest version to make my TV addon working.

Issues building CoreELEC from source

I moved your post here, since the other topics are meant for supporting users that are using the official builds, so building CoreELEC yourself is off topic in those threads. To build CoreELEC 9.2 Amlogic-ng git clone https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC.git cd CoreELEC git checkout coreelec-9.2 PROJECT=Amlogic-ng ARCH=arm make image To build CoreELEC 9.2 Amlogic git clone https://github.com/CoreELEC/CoreELEC.git cd CoreELEC git checkout coreelec-9.2 PROJECT=Amlogic ARCH=arm make image To b…

Instead of make image you build just addon (or build image first and then addon)

PROJECT=..... ARCH=arm ./scripts/create_addon inputstream.adaptive

and you need to adjust version in file packages/mediacenter/kodi-binary-addons/inputstream.adaptive/package.mk.

Thanks for your reply
Tried to build latest version but got error when it was 166/169

Maybe you know what is wrong?

As you can read from log you need to look inside files like

/home/mrx/CoreELEC/CoreELEC/build.CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19/.threads/logs/167.log

to identify which package failed and why.

Here is the log file: hastebin - uhazerezil (kodi.tv)
Maybe there is problem because i’m trying to build it on WSL instead of native linux environment?
Based on this:

-- Could not find hardware support for SSE (missing: _SSE_TRUE _SSE_OK) 
-- Could not find hardware support for SSE2 (missing: _SSE2_TRUE _SSE2_OK)

I’m not familiar with building is WSL. Bzt this doesn’t look good

-- Check for working CXX compiler: /home/mrx/CoreELEC/CoreELEC/build.CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19/toolchain/bin/armv8a-libreelec-linux-gnueabihf-g++ - skipped

[nfm886]

Installed g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf and gonna try to build again

#edit still no luck. Do you think it could work better on Ubuntu instead of WSL?

[vpeter]

I’m sure it will work better on Ubuntu - most of us is using it.

[nfm886]

Ok, so I’m gonna install Ubuntu and will report back with any progress

[nfm886]

Hmm… I got some progress but still get some errors. Please check it: hastebin

I think this time I did something wrong.

Command I’m using is: PROJECT=Amlogic-ce ARCH=arm ./scripts/create_addon inputstream.adaptive

and version in package.mk:
PKG_VERSION="2.6.11-Matrix"

#edit
I got it!

ALL ADDONS BUILT SUCCESSFULLY

Something is wrong with latest release so I compiled 2.6.8 version which is working well with my Live TV Thanks again for your effort!

I think inputstream.adaptive will be updated & added to the CoreELEC repo within the next few days, isn’t this the way it usually works? So if you wait a few days it could save you the trouble

@FXB78

wait a few days it could save you the trouble

Where is the fun then
