SS>  Tested Kodi, and all now working properly! Also, this version of the addon

You are mistaken.

That is, spdlog-1.11.0-1.2.src contains a patch for fmt-10.0.0, but it
is not a patch for kodi, which itself does not require fmt-related
libraries to run.

You haven't checked the file FMT-VERSION.

LIBNAME=fmt
VERSION=9.1.0
ARCHIVE=$(LIBNAME)-$(VERSION).tar.gz
SHA512=a18442042722dd48e20714ec034a12fcc0576c9af7be5188586970e2edf47529825bdc99af366b1d5891630c8dbf6f63bfa9f012e77ab3d3ed80d1a118e3b2be
BYPRODUCT=libfmt.a
BYPRODUCT_WIN=fmt.lib

That is, kodi needs libfmt.a for building.

Specifically, when I install the patched spdlog 1.11.0 and fmt 10.0.0
and try to build kodi, it stops with the following fmt-related error.

[...]
