# dh\_kodiaddon\_depends(1)

Provides substvars for Kodi addons

## NAME

dh\_kodiaddon\_depends - Provides substvars for Kodi addons

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_kodiaddon\_depends** \[*debhelper options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

dh\_kodiaddon\_depends is a debhelper program, that is responsible for setting substvars providing the Kodi addon-API dependencies. Kodi provides a virtual package for each API which might be used by an addon. The following substvars will be set to a dependency clause which can be used directly in the "Depends"-line of the addons debian/control:

${kodi:AUDIODECODERAPI}  (ADDON\_INSTANCE\_VERSION\_AUDIODECODER) ${kodi:AUDIOENCODERAPI}  (ADDON\_INSTANCE\_VERSION\_AUDIOENCODER) ${kodi:AUDIOENGINEAPI}   (ADDON\_GLOBAL\_VERSION\_AUDIOENGINE) ${kodi:FILESYSTEMAPI}    (ADDON\_GLOBAL\_VERSION\_FILESYSTEM) ${kodi:GAMEAPI}          (ADDON\_INSTANCE\_VERSION\_GAME) ${kodi:GENERALAPI}       (ADDON\_GLOBAL\_VERSION\_GENERAL) ${kodi:GUIAPI}           (ADDON\_GLOBAL\_VERSION\_GUI) ${kodi:IMAGEDECODERAPI}  (ADDON\_INSTANCE\_VERSION\_IMAGEDECODER) ${kodi:INPUTSTREAMAPI}   (ADDON\_INSTANCE\_VERSION\_INPUTSTREAM) ${kodi:MAINAPI}          (ADDON\_GLOBAL\_VERSION\_MAIN) ${kodi:NETWORKAPI}       (ADDON\_GLOBAL\_VERSION\_NETWORK) ${kodi:PERIPHERALAPI}    (ADDON\_INSTANCE\_VERSION\_PERIPHERAL) ${kodi:PVRAPI}           (ADDON\_INSTANCE\_VERSION\_PVR) ${kodi:SCREENSAVERAPI}   (ADDON\_INSTANCE\_VERSION\_SCREENSAVER) ${kodi:VFSAPI}           (ADDON\_INSTANCE\_VERSION\_VFS) ${kodi:VIDEOCODECAPI}    (ADDON\_INSTANCE\_VERSION\_VIDEOCODEC) ${kodi:VISUALIZATIONAPI} (ADDON\_INSTANCE\_VERSION\_VISUALIZATION)

## EXAMPLES

dh\_kodiaddon\_depends is usually called indirectly in a rules file via the dh command.

```
        %:
                dh $@ --with kodiaddon
```

It can also be called directly, prior to calling dh\_gencontrol.
