[Buildroot] Isengard 15.0 python issue - solution

[Stanislav Vlasic]

Hi,

Problem was isolated and fixed by Corey Moyer. I will not submit patch 
as I'm not original author of it, will just describe it:

Python addons are crashing because of 
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/xbmc/interfaces/python/XBPython.cpp#L565

Patch would be to remove defined(TARGET_LINUX) from #if statement in 
line above. I'm not sure if this issue affects all Linux builds (Kodi 
15.0 works fine on my Linux Mint 17.1).

This is tested on Buildroot 2015.02 and 2015.05, Python 2.7.8, 2.7.9 and 
2.7.10.

Regards,
Stanislav Vlasic

Hi,

I never had any problems with python addons in Kodi, here is a snippet of
my .config: 

BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON=y
BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_PY_ONLY=y
# BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_PYC_ONLY is not set
# BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_PY_PYC is not set

Maybe these options have an influence?

Regards, Bernd

Difference is that I have BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_PYC_ONLY selected but I'm 
not sure if that could be the case because everything was working with 
BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_PYC_ONLY as default option since XBMC 12 (I'm working 
with Amlogic SoCs).

I will test with BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_PY_ONLY enabled and patch disabled 
and will report back results.
