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.

I've downloaded the cross compiler kit and the glibc from netgear but I cant put it to work.
Give this a try: Sparc platform development envrionment using Qemu- Hi,
I compiled rdiff-backup for my ReadyNAS. Trying to do things the Debian way will just lead to frustration. What worked was:
- install python-dev, librsync-dev, etc. from the NAS repos
- get the most recent rdiff-backup source. I did this by (on my laptop, running unstable) apt-get source rdiff-backup, and then copying the directory over to the NAS
- dpkg-dev is uninstallable, so dpkg-buildpackage won't work (but it probably wouldn't anyhow, due to dependency issues) :( Instead: python setup.py build; python setup.py install
Now I am messing about with the users and groups so that the permissions on NFS and over SSH are both sensible, but you can ignore that if you're only going to use one or the other.
HTH
Ethan - I am venturing into the development environment for the NV+. I've installed both the APT and EnableSSH addons and have been succesful in logging in and perusing the environment.
However when I execute "apt-get update" from the root, I get many errors such those listed below

Is this normal?, or do I need to update the "../apt/sources.list"? - sources.list should contain this:
deb http://www.readynas.com/packages readynas/
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free Skywalker wrote: sources.list should contain this: deb http://www.readynas.com/packages readynas/
