WORK IN PROGRESS, PLEASE AMEND
As I can't find a decent overview of how to get XBMC working on the Raspberry Pi without resorting to downloading a dedicated image, this page should give everyone a hand getting set up (that is, if I am successful...)
Contents
Ways of installing XBMC
Getting XBMC from the repos (doesn't work in Wheezy) Building XBMC on the raspi (takes a long time) Building XBMC on a Windows machine (Qemu)
So far I haven't got it running...
Building XBMC from source using Qemu
Preparation
- Get 'Putty' (Windows Installer) from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
- Get latest 'Qemu for Windows' from http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/
- Get 'kernel-qemu' from http://xecdesign.com/downloads/linux-qemu/kernel-qemu (Interesting read: http://xecdesign.com/qemu-emulating-raspberry-pi-the-easy-way/)
- Get most recent Raspbian image ('2012-07-15 Wheezy' at time of writing) from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads (The Foundation's version of Raspbian)
On Windows, create folder structure like so:
Resize the Raspbian image
Fix raspi-config resize issue with Qemu: cp /usr/bin/raspi-config ~ sed -i 's/mmcblk0p2/sda2/' ~/raspi-config sed -i 's/mmcblk0/sda/' ~/raspi-config sudo ~/raspi-config
