XBMC build for Raspberry Pi

XBMC build for Raspberry Pi

[Jack Mitchell]

Ok, so I'm delving in a little over my head here but you've got to start 
somewhere, right ;)

I'm trying to build XBMC for the Raspberry Pi and have run into the 
following error which I don't know how to fix:

configure: error: in 
`/home/jack/Projects/poky-rasp/raspberry/tmp/work/armv6-vfp-poky-linux-gnueabi/xbmc-11.0-r14+gitr1+5ea1d22052f4b6a13a10b1f2e80c90abfcd6023b/git':
configure: error:
   Could not link test program to Python. Maybe the main Python library 
has been
   installed in some non-standard library path. If so, pass it to configure,
   via the LDFLAGS environment variable.
   Example: ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/non-standard-path/python/lib"
============================================================================
    ERROR!
    You probably have to install the development version of the Python 
package
    for your distribution.  The exact name of this package varies among 
them.
============================================================================

Adding python-dev to DEPENDS seems to be a bit extreme, or is there 
another way around this?

Cheers,

Some more on this is that it seems to be picking up the host paths, 
rather than OE's.

My config.log is here: http://pastebin.com/7Um2J1kv

as you can see the PYTHON variables are all wrong. I tried adding:

PYTHON = "${libdir}${PYTHON_DIR}"
PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE= "${PYTHON_SITEPACKAGES_DIR}"
PYTHON_LDFLAGS = "-L${libdir} -l${PYTHON_DIR}"

To the recipe but it didn't help. Has anyone any experience in this?

Cheers,

Did you inherit the right python class?

The recipe is the one currently in 
meta-oe/meta-multimedia/recipe-multimedia/xbmc, it inherits python-dir, 
is that the right class?
