Help building Plex Home Theater

[zAo]

Or is it a bug?

Hi!

I installed the latest Arch Linux i686 and did a git clone from:
https://github.com/plexinc/plex-home-theater-public/

After resolving all the dependencies, the build went fine; no errors. But, if I want to run it, I got:

Unable to find path to XBMC data files!<br />
Exiting Plex Media Server queue...<br />
*** Error in `./plexhometheater': free(): invalid pointer: 0x09573400 ***<br />

/usr/lib/libc.so.6(clone+0x5e)[0xb588fcce]<br />

I configured with:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-platform=linux --disable-webserver --enable-libcec

Can someone help me resolving this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Hi.



EDIT: Find the fix…

<br />
$export XBMC_HOME=/usr/share/XBMC<br />
$plexhometheater<br />

found it here: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/58625-gentoo-from-git-sources-pht-status/page__view__findpost__p__347113

I've got the same error on both my htpc and my thinkpad both are x86_64 builds

Thanks rZn!



I currently get an error on libavformat.so.54, but I’m one step further now. Thanks!

You can’t use the automake buildsystem for PLEX/ht:



mkdir build; cd build

cmake … ; make



Should get you started

Is this always going to be the case. A few weeks ago I attempted to use the buildroot for the pivos xios ds provided here https://github.com/Pivosgroup. Which I pointed to plex ht but ran into countless issues when it started to build plex. It seems you guys have moved onto cmake and left make in the dust.

I would never use automake. But cmake can generate makefiles.
