Installing/cross compiling programs

Compiling GIT

Install pre-requisites for the host:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf libcurl4-openssl-dev libexpat1-dev gettext libz-dev libssl-dev

Download GIT 2.22.0 from https://github.com/git/git/releases.

Configuring shared libraries:

This is required because the configure script for git is dumb and apparently doesn't expect you to cross compile.

Run the following commands:

Code: Select all

cd /home/wmt/nas-sysroot/lib
sudo ln -s libpthread.so.0 libpthread.so
sudo ln -s librt.so.1 librt.so

First run:

Code: Select all

make configure

To generate the configure script.

To configure, run:

Code: Select all

CFLAGS="-I/home/wmt/nas-sysroot/usr/local/include -I/home/wmt/nas-sysroot/usr/local/include/openssl -I/home/wmt/nas-sysroot/usr/local/include/ncurses" CPPFLAGS="-I/home/wmt/nas-sysroot/usr/local/include -I/home/wmt/nas-sysroot/usr/local/include/openssl -I/home/wmt/nas-sysroot/usr/local/include/ncurses -I/home/wmt/nas-sysroot/usr/local/lib/libffi-3.2.1/include/" LDFLAGS="-L/home/wmt/nas-sysroot/usr/local/lib" ./configure --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --build=x86_64-linux-gnu CC="arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc --sysroot=/home/wmt/nas-sysroot" CXX="arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-g++ --sysroot=/home/wmt/nas-sysroot" LD="arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-ld --sysroot=/home/wmt/nas-sysroot" ac_cv_fread_reads_directories=yes ac_cv_snprintf_returns_bogus=no

To make, run:

Code: Select all

make -j <num_of_cpu_cores>

Note: The -j option is recommended to speed this up.

NOTE:
-----
This fails at the moment, because git doesn't expect to be cross compiled and tries to link against system libraries. I manually ran the failing linker commands to work around this. I will update this post when/if I find a better way of doing this.

Below are the commands I ran, in order:

You may need to run these more than once. Afterwards, run "make" again to continue.
-----

The tests do not run when cross-compiling, because they expect GIT to be installed into the system directories.

To install, run:

Code: Select all

sudo PATH="/home/wmt/x-tools/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/bin:$PATH" make DESTDIR=/home/wmt/nas-sysroot install

Setting up phpMyAdmin

phpMyAdmin can't be updated to the latest version, because that doesn't support mysql 5.1, but we can go up to 4.0.10 - newer than what came with the NAS box. First, use the web administration interface to install the official phpMyAdmin add-on (attached). You need to remove the file extension at the end first.

Then, SSH in, and replace the contents of the folder /mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_prog/phpMyAdmin, with the contents of the attached tarball.

NOTE: The original phpmyadmin is also here in case it is useful to poke around it later.

NOTES:

The following warnings are visible within phpMyAdmin, but they don't affect its operation:

• The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. See our documentation for more information
• Your PHP parameter session.gc_maxlifetime is lower than cookie validity configured in phpMyAdmin, because of this, your login will expire sooner than configured in phpMyAdmin.
• The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret).

I will now have a look and see if I can fix/silence these warnings, but rest assured the database is working

UPDATE: I have fixed the warnings, new tarball uploaded.

Installing PIP (Python package manager)

No cross compiling needed, but this seems like the right place to note this.

Follow the instructions at: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
