NAS are more and more present around me and I can't help thinking it would be a great smalltalk deployment option. Out of the box, PHP application can run. </div><div>I think one problem is the multitude of architecture and that each VM needs to be compiled specifically. As a side note, I think we should focus on Synology and Qnap at starts.</div><div><br></div><div>Let's take a particular example. I have a synology NAS (DSM 411+II) wich is based on an ATOM 510 (64bits if I'm correct) [2].</div><div>There's a guide on how to install third party application (from the raw setup to the app packaging) [3]. </div><div><br></div><div>From what I understand of the compilation process [3], the first step is to download DSM Tool Chain [4] and to use it to compile sources on a classic linux station. Then, once compiled, you move the executable to the NAS and it should work... Problem is I'm a bit lost there because, first I never compiled a VM and second, this needs some manipulations on the configure file (which I'm not at ease with).</div><div><br></div><div>So, is there a brave experienced soul that could have a try compiling a Cog VM with this toolchain (my NAS is a pineview processor - D525)? </div><div><br></div><div>Also, I think this would be even more pertinent with gemstone. I tried the install.sh but got quickly blocked and I'm not sure this gives a single executable anyway. But if the gestone guys wants to have a try... :)</div><div><br></div><div>I can give ssh access for people interested if necessary. </div><div><br></div><div>TIA,</div><div><br></div><div>Cédrick</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(104, 9, 0); "><a href="http://blog.synology.com/blog/?p=1070">http://blog.synology.com/blog/?p=1070</a></span></div><div><div>[2] <a href="http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/What_kind_of_CPU_does_my_NAS_have">http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/What_kind_of_CPU_does_my_NAS_have</a></div></div><div>[3] <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(104, 9, 0); "><a href="http://download.synology.com/download/ds/userguide/Synology NAS Server 3rd-Party Apps Integration Guide.pdf">http://download.synology.com/download/ds/userguide/Synology%20NAS%20Server%203rd-Party%20Apps%20Integration%20Guide.pdf</a></span></div><div>[4] <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/files/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/files/</a> </div><div><br></div></body></html>
