1.0.3 on Ubuntu

[darcilicious]

In the US, winter starts on Dec 22 regardless of the temperature outside

[haveringcottage]

according to some other chap on the forum who managed to get hold of the 1.5 beta from a boxee server, he also downloaded a windows and mac platform installation packages for boxee 1.5

looks like whenever the 1.5 goes public, everyone will be singing from the same sheet (at last).

I tried to mean I built 1.2.2. It looks pretty nice. I hope the follow through with their promise.

Where I am, it feels like winter already, so I though the release would be available before.

I'll just wait and see.

I was also able to build 1.2.2
But just as noisymime I cant play anyvideos (audio works, no video)
Any idea where we should start looking to solve this problem?

I got the supplied deb file working (after fixing the libxmlrpc-c3 issue) however I wanted to try and see if I could get the source code working. I'm butting heads with an issue early on though. I keep getting this message.

config.status: error: cannot find input file: `BoxeeHal/server/Makefile.in'

I've done a search for BoxeeHal and the only thing I could find was the fix in post #7 of this thread and even with that, I'm still getting the error message. Just hoping to get a little help.

(I'm trying to use boxee-sources-1.5.0-3a626c6)

Thanks!

I'm also getting the same error message as the previous poster

config.status: error: cannot find input file: `BoxeeHal/server/Makefile.in'

This is after:

./bootstrap
./configure --enable-optimizations --disable-debug

from boxee-sources-1.5.0-80d5f5b.tar

Hi Everyone!
I think I got the config.status: error: cannot find input file: 'BoxeeHal/server/Makefile.in' fixed by simply creating the directory mentioned in the error and placing the Makefile.in which is found in the Boxee-1.5.0. main directory into the newly created directory BoxeeHal/server/

After I've done that everything seemed to have compiled ok from source. It seems that the problem was the the config file had a directory registered which was then moved before the source code was packaged. However I'm having trouble with the debian compilation, namely creating an Ubuntu 11.10 debian package as per the instructions:
# cd debian
# sudo ./make_debian.sh

Many errors of files not found are thrown back and the process terminates quickly. Has anyone fix that??

Also @gigabz666: You mentioned fixing the debian file issued? Which file is that and how did you get the debian package installer? I've tried installing the sources:
deb http://apt.boxee.tv gutsy main

But everytime I try to access them I get an error 403 access denied error when I use:
sudo apt-get update

Does anyone have the actual debian installer for boxee-1.5.0. if so can you please post the download link or instructions on how to get it?

Thanks Everyone!

Thanks I'll give that a shot, I too have never gotten the deb packaging script to work either

the apt.boxee.tv repos is long gone

creating a VERSION file in the main directory containing a version number gets the make_debian.sh complete, editing the make_debian.sh file and removing ../ in front of python helps with an error as well, but there are still a lot of files missing in the resulting deb package

as far as I can tell all those files aren't being creating during the make stage

[mrplow]

make Boxee seems to be compiling some of the needed files... standby

[mrplow]

I believe it was the Makefile in xbmc/screensavers/rsxs-0.9/xbmc where I had to remove one level of "../" from the definition of OUTDIR.

This is still necessary in 1.5
