Finally succeeeded - ref my post above - Went back and installed mysql
'ipkg install mysql' Then tried build-perl-modules again - this time, got a different problem with the first module - see the posts at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27844 So, followed the advice there: - rebuild Compress-Zlib-1.41 manually (build-perl-modules.pl now runs OK) - fix MySql to diable InnoDB (post # 16 above) - make a new user 'slim' and chown -R slim /etc/slim-data - run slimserver with --user slim and at last it seems to work. So, to recap, you need to - Modify the path to include /opt/bin and /opt/libexec - Add the symlinks to point 'armv5b-softfloat-linux-gcc' and 'armv5b-softfloat-linux-ld' to wherever the real gcc and ld are - install mysql, if not already installed - run build-perl-modules.pl, accepting the error on Compress-Zlib-1.41. - re-do the Compress-Zlib-1.41 build manually (see http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27844, post #9) - re-run build-perl-modules.pl - apart from a few compiler warnings, should run OK this time - Fix MySQL (see post #16 above) - Set up a non-root user (eg. 'slim') and make this own the slimserver data - and run the server.... Phew! ..now I wonder if it will index my music?? BTW, pardon my ignorance, but what is 'FW55' referred to by Ramage in # 27 above? -- tyddynonn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tyddynonn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8554 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26723 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
