The current version of Kodi in Debian10's repositories is v17.6. This version didn't work properly (it wasn't usable). Hence I'm trying to install the latest version. I followed the steps of the "Debian/Ubuntu build guide" of the Kodi repository except that I didn't add the PPA. I used sudo apt build-dep kodi as packages "flatbuffers-dev" and "libshairplay-dev" could not be found and there wasn't an installation candidate for "libmysqlclient-dev" when trying to build dependencies manually. When trying to follow the steps of "Build Kodi" of the "Linux build guide" which are the last step of the "Debian/Ubuntu build guide" I get these errors when running command cmake ../kodi -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DX11_RENDER_SYSTEM=gl: > CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:95 (core_add_library): Unknown CMake > command "core_add_library". > > > CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt: No cmake_minimum_required > command is present. A line of code such as > > cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13) > > should be added at the top of the file. The version specified may > be lower if you wish to support older CMake versions for this > project. For more information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000". > This warning is for project developers.

Would it be recommended to install it via the flatpak instead?
