@Franz,

Sorry for delay, but have you gone through this article for installing Kodi on Fedora 23.

I have an old HP TC1100 tablet PC with Fedora 23 and I tried to install Kodi w/o success. So I was searching for an alternative and I thought I had found it coming across you page.
However the command: sudo dnf install kffmpegthumbnailer
I got this:
Error: nothing provides kdsbase-workspace needed by kffmpegthumbnailer-1.1.0-8.fcc.1686
(try to add ‘–allowerasing’ t command line to replace conflicting packages)
so I tried: sudo dnf install kffmpegthumbnailer –allowerasing
but it came back with the same error message

so I decided to ignore that step and continue. Everything worked fine until I tried:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config –prefix`
I got this:
— The CXX compiler identification is unknown
CMake Error at CMakeList.txt:l (project):
No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found

here’s the content of the files CMakeError.log and CMakeOutput.log
