Installation on NAS (e.g. QNAP 419+)

Hi guys,

I would love to see CouchDB running on my NAS
http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=183

This is an ARM based NAS that has a Linux system running.
Since I don't have any experience compiling CouchDB and there is no
compiler available on the NAS, I don't have an idea how to solve that
issue...

I downloaded the source distribution and executed ./configure. Attached
the output of the log file down here...


Thanks,

Johannes


This file contains any messages produced by compilers while

It was created by Apache CouchDB configure 1.1.0, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.67.  Invocation command line was

Hi Johannes

I expect you will spend a fair bit of time fiddling & cajoling this to
work. In my personal experience cross-compiling is not worth the
effort; you are better off getting a native toolchain up & running.
Although this is also not easy, and if you're not careful you could
end up with your NAS not being bootable.

There are a few people who have done this before for qnap -
http://www.tazenda.demon.co.uk/phil/arm-tools.html
http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?p=129749#p129749

A bit more google-fu should see you right - qnap arm native compiler
or toolchain. This is the same thing I am working through on the
CouchDB Windows build, and while its slow progress some weeks I am
learning a lot & definitely enjoying it.

Good luck!!
Dave
