apt-get install make gcc g++ unzip libtool libboost-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev git libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxrender-dev libxext-dev portaudio19-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavdevice-dev subversion gawk libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxrender-dev libxext-dev portaudio19-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev
libswscale-dev libavdevice-dev

After;

cd /
mkdir boblight-sources
cd boblight-sources
svn checkout http://boblight.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
cd trunk

Prepare to compile binary boblightd;

./configure --without-portaudio --without-x11 --with-ffmpeg
make
make install

Finally obtiend libraries and binary. Link libraries;

ln -s /usr/local/lib/ligboblight.so /lib/libboblight.so
ln -s /lib/libboblight.so /usr/local/lib/ligboblight.so

Create script at initial running daemon boblightd, edit with nano or WinSCP file called boblight.sh in /etc/init.d, named boblight.sh with this code;

During the ap-get install command it asks if i would like to continue (Y/n)? i type Y and press enter and it says Abort. What’s up with that?

3

It’s a copy & paste problem. The command is not properly formatted. If you install the packets in smaller portions it will work fine.

“failed to create symbolic link ‘/usr/local/lib/ligboblight.so’: File exists”

Not sure why I get this error, hopefully not important.

BTW the url is wrong, I downloaded the whole source as zip and unzipped.

Nice tutorial anyhow:) Not sure why this cannot be simply downloaded from repository?

404 error when going to the link

root@osmc:/boblight-sources# svn checkout http://boblight.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
svn: E160013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://boblight.googlecode.com/svn/trunk'

Same problem here. The link is down.
