Programs to cross-compile

Holds topics that document the NAS box's features and any related procedures. Stuff in here should eventually make it into a specification or the user guide.

Programs to cross-compile

Post by hamishmb »

I figure I might as well begin a list of programs I would like to get working on the NAS box. Terry, feel free to add things to this thread if you have any suggestions. Available at viewtopic.php?f=36&t=167 is the current version of the extra system root folders with the libraries and programs available.

Extremely useful/Essential:
  • GNU nano (DONE, but currently not operational - error opening terminal)
  • The "file" command (DONE)
  • Python 3 (DONE, pip now working))
  • The "less" command (DONE, semi-operational due to terminal issues as above).
  • The "which" command (DONE)
Desirable:
  • Gzip (already available).
  • wget (available but no HTTPS support) (DONE).
  • scp (OpenSSH) (DONE)
  • git (DONE).
    • SSL verification is currently not working - disabled in the system setup script.
Optional:
  • PHP 7 (DONE, can't use with older phpMyAdmin we have to use)
    • Probably not essential, but would be nice to have if possible.
  • MariaDB (ABANDONED).
    • Was not possible to build a newer version for this architecture and kernel version.
  • A newer version of PhpMyAdmin (DONE).
    • No compiling needed, but details in thread with all of the other programs as usual.
    • Newest possible version was 4.0.10, so we have gone with that.
  • NSPR and NSS (for SSL certificate verification) (ABANDONED)
  • Gnuplot (DONE)
  • Matplotlib (DONE)
