KODI PVR addons like the MythTV addon are not compatible with all versions of KODI (due to the PVR API version dependency).
The addon repositories have different branches for the different KODI versions. Use <code>git checkout <BRANCH></code> after cloning the repository to switch to the according branch before starting the build.

  if [ -f "$FILE" ]; then
    cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$FILE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DPACKAGE_ZIP=ON ../
    break
  fi
done
</pre>
* Adjust PROJECT & ARCH to suit your LibreElec target architecture
* Adjust LIBREELEC_TOOLCHAIN_CMAKE_PATH to match where LibreElec put the build environment for your target architecture
* Run refreshversion
* Return to the README.md instructions to generate a ZIP archive.
 
<b>NB:</b> While it takes a long compile time to set up the LibreElec build environment, compiling new versions of pvr.mythtv is quick.

Build instructions

When building the addon, you have to use the correct branch (List of Git branches in pvr.mythtv) for the version of Kodi you're building against. For example, if you're building the master branch of Kodi, you should checkout the master branch of this repository. Also, make sure you are following this README file from the branch in question.


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
make

The add-on files will be placed in ../../xbmc/kodi-build/addons, so if you build Kodi from source and run it directly, the add-on will be available as a system add-on.
