Compile xbmc4xbox for LINUX

Post by sirkingchase »

Is Linux supported? I know that there is support for Windows but I just have to ask as I dont use windows.

I am wanting to develop python applications for the xbox, I would prefer to test & debug on my Laptop which is Linux. Current builds of Xbmc do not allow easy script execution, it forces you to create an add on instead.

I simply want to be able to launch a script from the xbmc gui without having to create an add on, I know that XBMC4xbox has this functionality.

FYI, it works with WINE, just make sure you configure the drives correctly as it is in the run_me.bat and remap the Z: drive to /tmp

Sorry should have checked that first.

It will not execute any python script through :(

I think its breaking on the python execution or some weird access violation... I dont have a windows machine available to see if its something else other than me trying to run this with wine.

Please help if you can. Im so close to getting this working!

Python doesn't work on the win32build - sorry. I would probably just use xbmc. you can make a quick addons.xml to go with your plugin/script.
