Please read it in full before you proceed to familiarize yourself with the build procedure. + +Several other distributions have **[specific build guides](README.md)** and a general **[Linux build guide](README.Linux.md)** is also available. + +**Do not use openSUSE Leap**. Wiser people than us decided that in 2018 `gcc v4.8.5` is the best **stable** release openSUSE Leap 42.3 can provide by default. Installing/using another release along side it is a real PITA. + +## Table of Contents +1. **[Document conventions](#1-document-conventions)** +2. **[Get the source code](#2-get-the-source-code)** +3. **[Install the required packages](#3-install-the-required-packages)** + 3.1. **[Build missing dependencies](#31-build-missing-dependencies)** +4. **[Build Kodi](#4-build-kodi)** + +## 1. Document conventions +This guide assumes you are using `terminal`, also known as `console`, `command-line` or simply `cli`. Commands need to be run at the terminal, one at a time and in the provided order. + +This is a comment that provides context: +``` +this is a command +this is another command +and yet another one +``` + +**Example:** Clone Kodi's current master branch: +``` +git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc kodi +``` + +Commands that contain strings enclosed in angle brackets denote something you need to change to suit your needs. +``` +git clone -b <branch-name> https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc kodi +``` + +**Example:** Clone Kodi's current Krypton branch: +``` +git clone -b Krypton https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc kodi +``` + +Several different strategies are used to draw your attention to certain pieces of information. In order of how critical the information is, these items are marked as a note, tip, or warning. For example: + +**NOTE:** Linux is user friendly... It's just very particular about who its friends are. +**TIP:** Algorithm is what developers call code they do not want to explain. +**WARNING:** Developers don't change light bulbs. It's a hardware problem. + +**[back to top](#table-of-contents)** | **[back to section top](#1-document-conventions)** + +## 2.

Install the required packages +Add `opensuse-multimedia-libs` repository because some needed packages are non-OSS: +``` +sudo zypper ar -f http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/multimedia:/libs/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ opensuse-multimedia-libs +sudo zypper ref +``` + +**NOTE:** A message will ask you to accept the key. Enter `a`, the *trust always* option. + +If you get a `package not found` type of message with the below command, remove the offending package(s) from the install list and reissue the command. Take a note of the missing dependencies and, after a successful step completion, **[build the missing dependencies manually](#31-build-missing-dependencies)**. + +**NOTE:** Kodi requires a compiler with C++17 support, i.e. gcc >= 7 or clang >= 5 + +Install build dependencies: +``` +sudo zypper install alsa-devel autoconf automake bluez-devel boost-devel capi4linux-devel ccache cmake doxygen flac-devel fribidi-devel fstrcmp-devel gcc gcc-c++ gettext-devel giflib-devel glew-devel googletest gperf java-openjdk libass-devel libavahi-devel libbluray-devel libbz2-devel libcap-devel libcap-ng-devel libcdio-devel libcec-devel libcurl-devel libdvdread-devel libgudev-1_0-devel libidn2-devel libjasper-devel libjpeg-devel liblcms2-devel libmad-devel libmicrohttpd-devel libmodplug-devel libmpeg2-devel libmysqlclient-devel libnfs-devel libogg-devel libpcap-devel libplist-devel libpng12-devel libpulse-devel libsamplerate-devel libsmbclient-devel libtag-devel libtiff-devel libtool libudev-devel libuuid-devel libva-devel libvdpau-devel libvorbis-devel libXrandr-devel libXrender-devel libxslt-devel lirc-devel lzo-devel make Mesa-libEGL-devel Mesa-libGLESv2-devel Mesa-libGLESv3-devel nasm patch pcre-devel python3-devel python3-Pillow randrproto-devel renderproto-devel shairplay-devel sqlite3-devel swig tinyxml-devel +``` + +**WARNING:** Make sure you copy paste the entire line or you might receive an error or miss a few dependencies. + +Building for Wayland requires some extra packages: +``` +sudo zypper install wayland-devel libwayland-egl1 libwayland-egl-devel libxkbcommon-devel scons wayland-protocols-devel +``` + +Similarly, building for GBM also requires some extra packages: +``` +sudo zypper install libgbm-devel libinput-devel libxkbcommon-devel +``` + +**WARNING:** Fedora repositories don't have install candidates for `libfmt`, `rapidjson` and `waylandpp`.
