* Branch ''gotham'': Compatible with XBMC Gotham (v13)
* Branch ''helix'': Compatible with KODI Helix (v14)
* etc ...
Use <code>git checkout <BRANCH></code> after cloning the repository to switch to the according branch before starting the build.

Linux environments

git clone --branch master --depth=1 https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
git clone --branch Nexus https://github.com/janbar/pvr.mythtv.git
cd pvr.mythtv && mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DADDONS_TO_BUILD=pvr.mythtv -DADDON_SRC_PREFIX=../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../xbmc/addons -DPACKAGE_ZIP=ON ../../xbmc/cmake/addons
