Checkout from subversion

$ sudo yum install -y subversion
$ svn co https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport/XBMC /home/<user>/XBMC

Install build dependencies

You'll have to install the necessary dependencies available through the official moblin repository.

$ sudo yum install -y SDL-devel SDL_image-devel SDL_gfx-devel SDL_mixer-devel libogg-devel libvorbis-devel boost boost-devel bzip2-devel fribidi-devel lzo-devel jasper-devel libpng-devel hal-devel cmake gperf libtool zip nasm libXtst-devel libXi-devel libXmu-devel fontconfig-devel freetype-devel libXinerama-devel pcre-devel gcc gcc-c++ sqlite-devel curl-devel openssl-devel avahi-devel libsamplerate-devel pulseaudio-devel patch diffutils make binutils pixman-devel glibc-devel libpciaccess-devel libgomp43 mpfr

For some reason the ccache package is not correctly signed (optional).

$ sudo yum install -y --nogpgcheck ccache

Download and install missing build dependencies (not available via moblin repository - build from source rpm packages)

$ wget http://91.190.227.59/xbmc_builddeps.tar.gz
$ tar xvfz xbmc_builddeps.tar.gz
$ cd xbmc_builddeps

$ sudo rpm -ivh libmad-0.15.1b-12.moblin2.i586.rpm libmad-devel-0.15.1b-12.moblin2.i586.rpm

$ sudo rpm -ivh libmms-0.4-1.moblin2.i586.rpm libmms-devel-0.4-1.moblin2.i586.rpm

Fix mysqlclient and libjpeg

$ sudo cp /home/<user>/XBMC/xbmc/lib/cximage-6.0/jpeg/jpegint.h /usr/include/
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0 /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so

Configure

$ cd /home/<user>/XBMC
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr

Build

(Note: In case you get the error "undefined reference to `yp_get_default_domain'" while linking the XBMC binary (xbmc.bin), add -lnsl to Makefile and re-run make)

$ make

Install

$ sudo make install

When this completes you are done!
