This is a tutorial on how to compile and install XBMC on Debian or Ubuntu<br>
=== PPA for Unstable Natty ===
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/unstable
apt-get update && apt-get install xbmc

=== Checkout with Git ===

Development has moved to git, rather than subversion. You will need git installed to do this.

$ sudo aptitude install git

git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git

=== Checkout from subversion (Legacy)===

You will need to have subversion installed to do this.

$ sudo aptitude install subversion

svn co ''svnsite.com'' xbmc

This will create a "xbmc" directory in your current directory.

=== Install Packages ===

You'll have to install the necessary dependencies. First do this.

$ sudo aptitude update

Then see README.ubuntu for the required packages. The file includes
a handy aptitude line which you can just paste in the terminal.

=== Configure ===

$ cd xbmc
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure

If you wish to use supported system libraries do this instead.

$ ./configure --enable-external-libraries

In either case, with the above installed packages this should go smoothly :)

=== Build ===

$ make

=== Install ===

$ sudo make install

When this completes you are done!<br>

You may either go into a terminal session or press <Alt>+<F2>. Then type 'xbmc'.

NOTE: On certain versions of Ubuntu, you may get a segmentation fault due to libcurl. This is resolved by creating a symbolic link in /usr/lib

$ cd /usr/lib
$ sudo ln -s libcurl-gnutls.so.4 libcurl.so.4

=== Startup Script ===
/etc/init.d/xbmc
#!/bin/sh
#/etc/init.d/xbmc

# starting Xorg and XBMC For Linux
case "$1" in
start)
xinit -display :0.1 -e xbmc-standalone &
;;
stop)
killall xbmc
;;

esac

exit 0

=== Auto Library Update ===
*Cronjob to update library at noon and midnight every day if you leave your XBMC always on.

=== Lirc Hauppauge PVR250 ===
In 12.04 we use devinput to catch IR, well my system changes the eventX input each time I reboot, so here is the automagic fix.<br>
The following rule creates /dev/lirc0 to always point to the active IR device based upon "cat /proc/bus/input/devices"
