Do away with the grueling task of setting up a cross compile environment just to compile that small application to run on the DNS-343/DNS-323/DNS-313. Or waiting anxiously for somebody to compile that particular software you have been eyeing sooooOOooo long? Native compiling is rather simple if you are using fonz’s fun_plug 0.5.

Well, I supposed you have got ffp 0.5 running on your NAS. Simply download the neccesary packages from here. The packages that you would need to do basic compiling are:

• binutils
• kernel-headers
• uclibc
• gcc
• make
• gettext
• patch
• bison
• flex
• autoconf
• automake

Refer to the website; get the respective package; and install it. Below is an example for installing binutils.

/mnt/HD_a2 # wget http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/binutils-2.18.50.0.1-4.tgz

/mnt/HD_a2/packages # funpkg -i binutils-2.18.50.0.1-4.tgz
Installing package binutils-2.18.50.0.1-4 …

Repeat for the rest for the packages and try compiling the “Hello World” program!

Create a “test.cpp” with the following content

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << “Hello world” << endl;
return 0;
}

Compile test.cpp using the following command

g++ test.cpp

and executing the binary (a.out)

./a.out
Hello world

Have fun!
