Getting started How-To
Requirements:
1) RAIDiator-4.00c1-p2 or later.
2) The APT addon. Install it using the Frontview web UI under System -> Update -> Local Update.
3) The EnableRootSSH addon. Again, install using the Frontview web UI under System -> Update -> Local Update. This will allow you to SSH in to the NAS and bring up a shell command prompt.
Now what?
After those requirements are met, you should be able to run the standard Debian command "apt-get" to download and install packages for everything you need for development, including the headers for the non-standard packages used for the ReadyNAS.
Examples:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install libc6-dev
# apt-get install gcc
# apt-get install gdb
# apt-get install libtag1-dev
# apt-get install uuid-dev
Compiling natively on the ReadyNAS is slow. How about a cross-compiler?
You can grab a tarball of a cross-compiler to compile using an x86 system from here. It includes gcc, g++, and development headers, for use on Linux-based systems. Extract the tarball from your root directory to ensure things are placed in the correct path.
WARNING!
Please note that you can get your ReadyNAS into peril easily by overriding some of the system libraries and utilities. Do not do your development on a system you don't have a backup of as you may end up re-installing the firmware or worse yet, doing a factory default.

- As Chili reported the process moves along nicely until you get to libtag1-dev (I'm using beta T120 firmware).
~# apt-get install libtag1-dev -s

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libtag1-dev: Depends: libtag1 (= 1.4-2bpo2.netgear1) but 1.4-2bpo2.netgear2 is to be installed
E: Broken packages - NTOP and No LED work great thanks
- Weird I get the opposite...

What now??? - did you do a apt-get update before ?
your firmware is a little bit old , do you plan to upgrade to 4.1.4 ? - Hi, yep I did apt-get update....
I have just updated my firmware to 4.1.3 and its all fixed.... so must be something funny withthe old firmware...
Thanks for your input
Rob. - The EnableSSH addon seems to be a dead link. Anyone that could help me?
I've read the beta notice post, but that seemed to be an old one. - Updated links.
- Thanks!
