DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

I built a version of mt-daapd (Firefly) with support for transcoding FLAC to WAV on the fly.  I  don't use ogg so didn't build it.
This version was uploaded and linked from the wiki howto page http://dns323.kood.org/howto:firefly but this information was erased in a recent edit.  I've restored the links; try this out if you want to stream FLAC.

Huh.  I wonder what happened to the file I uploaded in December?

I followed the wiki howto:crosscompile and howto:firefly pages, constructing the build environment under Ubuntu Dapper Drake.  Actually it's all in a vmware VM of Dapper, since I primarily use Fedora.
I did have to fix various little things along the way.  Nothing major, mainly library paths, compiler flags and such, and I kept detailed notes.  One of the trickier hurdles was convincing flac to build without ogg support.

amunoz_tico- Are you having a problem getting this file from the link on the wiki??

Right, as I recall I didn't fix the old syntax error in mt-daapd.conf in the tarball.

I might get back to you on those "detailed notes" if I can't figure out how to get the cross compile working.

Sure thing, just let me know.  The howto:crosscompile recipe worked well.  One thing I did need to change: in the build_uclibc script, the toolchain source code filename needed to be uclibc-toolchain-src-20040609.tgz for the download to work.

I built flac-1.1.2 from the source tarball on sourceforge.
I didn't include ogg support.

You have to compile all of the components with the cross-compiler.  Installing native binaries on your dev system does not help.

I made some changes to the howto's build_firefly script to also download and build flac.  There are some compiler flags you need to change as well.
I had to patch flac's configure script to build without ogg.  If you want to use ogg, of course take that patch command out.

I tarred up my current version of the scripts and patches, build_firefly_flac.tgz, attached.  The fixed mt-daapd.conf is in there too.  Give that a try, I hope it works for you!

I guess that was silly of me, I should of realized that I needed to crosscompile the flac and ogg libraries.  I will give your files a look.

I just thought that I would follow up on this.  It looks like an integer only vorbis decoder and lib is needed because the DNS-323 does not have a FPU.  Firefly has one for the NSLU2 but I could not find one for the DNS-323.  Has anyone else tried using the Tremor integer patch for the vorbis stuff?
