No I didn't try it without but I will as soon as I can. I run my Slimserver on a Buffalo Linkstation HG300 and because of a hardware flashing issue, I cannot upgrade to the openlink/freelink packages. I tried several times to install devel environments on it without success and I even tried running a cross-compiler environment on cygwin on my WinXP PC but have never succeeded. I usually end up deleting everything in utter frustration after days of mucking around...
I was running V6.2.2 up until this weekend when I decided to try upgrading to V6.3.1 (knowing there was at least one module missing: SHA1). Well, to my surprise, everything went smoothly and ran without any glitches!?!? I'd love to be able to have a development environment to play around with and try the V6.5/V7.0 versions of Slimserver but unless I configure myself and old (well, not so old) X86 PC with some version of Linux (Ubuntu?), I'm pretty much stuck with running V6.3.x with only a few plugins to play with (the ones that don't require me to install additional packages :-/ ). Daniel P.S. The problem with the Linkstations is that once you "damage" the flash eprom, you're stuck with a "brick". Let's just say I know enough to get in trouble but not enough to get out of it... -- dborn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dborn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=181 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27292 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
