Compiling and building MP (1 Viewer)

[hkjensen]

You find the installer in the following folders
MediaPortal
<mediaportal-svn>/setup/release

TV-Server
<TVEngine3-svn>/TvLibrary/setup/release

nvm, I'm blind and should buy some glasses. Found the files, :sorry::sorry::sorry:

Rak: thanks for that. Server & Client compiled OK, and installer was generated, but I still get the same problem when running the newly installed program, that is the TV Guide doesn't work. This seems to imply that getting and compiling svn22555 doesn't generate the same stuff as is in the 1.0.2 release. Is there another number I should pick to get a working V1.0.2 as my starting point?

I'm new to this process, so please bear with me while a ask what may be a dumb or obvious question to those more experienced than I. I have done some programming in the distant past (seems like a lifetime ago at this point) so I'm not a complete novice, but at this point it sure feels like it. I've downloaded the 1.0.2 SVN and believe I have been able to compile unmodified versions of 1.0.2 client and server with the MSBuild command line tool. Now, I'd like to try testing some local modifications to TsReader and TsWriter, but it looks like I need a copy of Visual Studio 2008 (or maybe 2005) in order to be able to do this as it appears that ATL Classes are required. (I get an atlcomcli.h not found error) ATL Classes don't appear to be supported in VS C++ 2008 Express edition which is what I am using. Am I correct in my analysis? If so, is there some way around this problem other than obtaining Visual Studio 2008? I think I have followed all the instructions in the documentation available about compiling MP.
Thanks in advance for any input and/or guidance.

This doesn't answer your question, but when you compiled 1.0.2, did the TV Guide work properly? Or did you get the same problem I reported #13? It generated an error, and the TV Guide screen contained no useful data.

The source code for 1.0.2 was developed outside of the trunk.
View Code
SourceForge.net Repository - [mediaportal] Index of /tags/Release 1.0.2

Thanks. That did the trick. Though I am sure I tried that before, and got the problem with the Guide. Must have done something wrong. All working now. Looking forward to 1.1!

I'm not a compile-o-pro myself but I'm trying to do a personal SVN. From what I read in the wiki and forums and trying to do it myself, I got a little odd result.

1. Installed VS2008, NSIS, DX SDK..
2. Dl:d svn trunk and compiled, as described in wiki, both MP and TVE3 with their .sln files
3. Ran build deploy release.bat on both
4. Got 2 files, one mediaportal-svn-1.0.5.xxxxx.exe and one for TVengine with the same version numbers-
5. installed both went fine

6. Starting MP gives an error of Mediaportal and Tvplugin not having the same versions. It says that tvplugin is 1.0.5.25199 and mediaportal is just 1.0.5

What is going wrong in the process, have I missed something?

Do an SVN update on the source folders and then try to recompile. Also, check build.log for errors.

If that doesn't work you can always just edit the AssemblyInfo.cs file in the TV-plugin. For ~ 1 year I have been running my own modified version of the TV-plugin, and for me I always get the same problem - it is as if the Assemblyinfo for MediaPortal (not TV-plugin) isn't updated in SVN. So, I edit it manually every time. Just change it to:

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.5.*")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.5.0")]

(last two lines)
