Kodi occasionally fails to build due to xbmc/xbmc#16000.
It appears that
ninja
is more likely to cause this failure thancmake-make
- I've tested 1,000cmake-make
Kodi builds with 0 (zero) failures, and 250ninja
builds with 4 failures (all due to issue xbmc/16000).Team Kodi has seen this same failure when using
cmake
and their own Jenkins, so this PR may not eliminate the issue entirely (which could be akodi
and/orcmake
issue, made worse byninja
) but should hopefully make it less of an issue for LibreELEC until it is fixed (if it is ever fixed).
