[Buildroot] [PATCH v11] xbmc: new package

Bernd, All,

On 2014-04-10 20:08 +0200, Bernd Kuhls spake thusly:

Yes, this is expected. The defconfig files are the minimum to get the
system up-n-running up to a shell prompt. rpi-userland is not part of
what is required for that, so it is explicitly not enabled.

This should not be possible, since XBMC depends on an OpenGL ES and EGL
backend to be selected, and rpi-suerland is such a provider for EGL and
GLES.

If you managed to be able to select XBMC without selecting rpi-userland,
that's because you enabled another OpenGL es and EGL provider. If no
provider for OpenGL ES and EGL is selected, then XBMC should not be
visible.

That's wrong, because rpi-firmware is not an OpenGL ES and EGL provider.
rpi-firmware only provides the boot files for the RPi.

This is incorrect, as I said above: the real dependency is on
rpi-userland.

At worst, this is because you have *another* OpenGL ES and EGL provider
selected in the menuconfig (see above).
