xbmc in fedora 15

Posted on July 22, 2011 by nihlath

In fedora 15,Run xbmc, and click on the exit (red ‘X’) button, and xbmc freezes. You need “killall -9 xbmc.bin” to exit xbmc.

It is because xbmc conflicte with mesa-libGL package version more than 7.10.2. There is a patch to fix it. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39219. And I recompile mesa-libGL with the patch for fedora 15 x86_64. http://www.filesonic.com/file/1500606051 (outside China) http://u.115.com/file/dnc43sly (In China). It work fine.
