Compile or cross-compile ReadyNAS OS 6.4.0 kernel for RN104

[VincentNguyenQu]

Good morning,

Compiling a custom kernel for RN104 seems a never ending list of issues

I'm trying to setup cross compile, using the ReadyNAS SDK VM supplied by Netgear. Unfortunately, this VM cannot even install basic man-db, as it fails to connect to an IP adress, error code here: 

Err 404 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubbuntu/ raring/main man-db amd64 2.6.3-3 not Found [IP: 91.189.91.13.80]

 So I decided to go for a full installation of the SDK, using the information available here:

http://apps.readynas.com/pages/?page_id=90

This fails at this stage:

schroot -c R6 sudo -- apt-get install build-essential

With the following error:

Failed to fetch http://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos/dists/6.4.0/main/pool/g/gcc-4.9/libstdc++-4.9-dev_4.9.0-... 403 Forbidden [IP: 54.239.168.36 80]

and a bunch of similar error

This to me indicates that the 6.4.0 packages for cross compilation are not accessible

So bottom line, I can't install the SDK environnement to cross compile using Netgear procedure

Can someone at Neatgear arrange to update the SDK documentation and tools ?

The SDK VM is sorely out of date.

I've been meaning to update it, but you're better off just using a stock Debian Wheezy install with the ReadyNAS repo added in.

Or use the ReadyNAS OS VM (which was recently updated to 6.4.0).

For the 403 forbidden error against our repo, try using "www.readynas.com" rather than "apt.readynas.com".
