hello

I try to compile on a raspberry 4 but receive following error near end of compiling. I am not a professional, so dont know how to solve it.

@howie-f any ideas?

hm, i'm not sure since i don't compile on RPI. but looks like just autopoint missing. it seems to be packaged differently on RPI

i found this thread on raspberry pi forums: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=297142

so maybe @menotuu can you try to install autopoint via sudo apt install autopoint and see if the build succeeds then?

EDIT:

root@DietPi:~/kodi/inputstream.ffmpegdirect/build#

by the way. building as root is discouraged and not necessary. though this shouldn‘t be the main problem

was getting the same error (Debian build), installing autopoint fixed it.

If there is a missing Debian dependency it should be included here:
