compile app from source on the router

fridaystreet

New Around Here
Hi,

I'm just wondering if it is possible to compile an application from source directly on the router with the latest merlin beta installed?

I'd like to install coovachilla, but haven't found any packages for it in optware for this router. Also looks like entware aren't interested in building packages for it.

I found the source for it on the coov site and thought I'd give that a go. So far I hit an issue that it couldn't find a compiler when running ./configure. Found someone mentioning to run this command which seemed to fix that issue

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Now it looks like it's running ./configure, but all I get is a list of about 10 errors along the lines of

./configure line xx test: permission denied

A bit of research on this pulled up some general linux issues to do with the /tmp being mounted with noexec. But runnng 'mount' it doesn't look like /tmp is mounted with noexec. Also I'm not entirely sure how to mount it with exec using the fstab extension file of merlin fw

If anyone can provide any insight in to how I can be able to either build coova from source on the router, or some other way of installing it it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Paul
