XBMC on Slackware?
 

Has anyone been successful on this? I'm finding it to be a tough nut to crack. I made it through the whole patching tinyxml for stl support thing (or at least I thought I did...).

But when I try and start it, it hangs.
This is the resulting xbmc.log

Anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or how to fix this?

It's my version isn't it? I bet I'm going to have to find v12 source.

I run XBMC on Slackware using the SlackBuild: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.0/multimedia/xbmc/

It was because my libtinyxml had been compiled with STL support for an audio app.

I had to do a core dump by:
pkill -SIGSEGV xbmc.bin
to find out the prob was in libtinyxml...

Anyway, all works (sorta, two libraries...).
