Hello,

I am glad I found your blog post. After changing my hardware from NSLU to a router with ar71xx based OpenWRT I look for a version of mt-daapd with working RSP. Does your code or at least the plugins work on my ar71xx based OpenWRT? Can you compile and share an package for me?

regards
Jürgen

Simply try to add:

#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500 /** unix98? pthread_once_t, etc */

at the beginning of file db.c as of 1696 version like this:

…
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include “config.h”
#endif

#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500 /** unix98? pthread_once_t, etc */

#include
…

No need to use CPPFLAGS during configure process and working on my wl-600g customized firmware.

Is your version suitable for FreeBSD? I have been running svn-1696 for a very long time on Gentoo Linux. My migration to FreeBSD 8-Stable gives me a headache with firefly.

Thanks

Prashant, I haven’t used DD WRT much (especially for development) so can’t tell you much but maybe the issue is because of some uclibc/glibc issues Can you try to compile it from sources for your system?

Unfortunately when I run your binary in DD WRT, I get:
mt-daapd: can’t resolve symbol ‘__ctype_b_loc’

Any ideas if this is fixable?

Can anyone share the binary for nslu2 with me?

I did use the configure command as you described. I still had to uncomment the __Use_UNIX98 directive. After that it compiled OK, and I got firefly working (YAY!).

Nearly at the end: it crashes often (using the html management tool), and the bonjour service seems to be stopped, though ITunes finds the server. I’ll be looking into that. There might be some conflicts with old installations.
If I got it working smoothlessly, I’ll let it know.
Thanks again, Thimp

Firstly, thanks for sharing. I’ve tried several times to compile on OS X (Leopard and Snow Leopard) each time without success.

After running make a get error msgs such as these:

make[4]: Nothing to be done for `all’.
make[4]: Nothing to be done for `all-am’.
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all-am’.
Making all in contrib
make all-recursive
Making all in init.d
make all-am
make[5]: Nothing to be done for `all-am’.
make[4]: Nothing to be done for `all-am’.

Any insight on your part?

Thanks in advance
