rednoah, thank you for the quick reply - hopefully I will be able to get all this done and start using FB soon.
I am not sure what all you mean from your response and I'm hoping I can explain what I did and have you tell me what I need to do next to get done.
From DSM I installed these sources:
http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk
http://packages.MissileHugger.com
https://packages.filebot.net/syno
I downloaded ejdk-8u6-fcs-b23-linux-i586-12_jun_2014.gz from Oracle and placed in the /volume1/public folder
then I installed Java SE Embedded 8 from PCLoadLetter
I installed MediaInfo from MissleHugger.
I installed FileBot from FileBot.
Then I installed the bootstrap syno-i686-bootstrap_1.2-7_i686.xsh
I ran ipkg update
ipkg upgrade
ipkg install gcc
ipkg install make
ipkg install optware-devel
this one fails with a wget confilct so then i did this:
wget '
http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... 1_i686.ipk'
wget '
http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optwa ... 2_i686.ipk'
ipkg remove wget
ipkg install libidn_1.25-1_i686.ipk
ipkg install wget-ssl_1.12-2_i686.ipk
export PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH
ipkg update
ipkg install optware-devel
ipkg install boost-dev boost-thread boost-system boost-date-time
ipkg install libcurl-dev
ipkg install libusb
I modified the /root/.profile adding /opt/sbin:/opt/bin: to the start of the path statement.
When I look for fpcalc I find
https://acoustid.org/chromaprint - is that the right place?
If so, then I run into problems when it says:
In order to just compile the library, you will need to have either FFTW3 or FFmpeg installed, unless you are on OS X, where we can use the standard vDSP library. If you want to build the full package, you will also need TagLib, Boost and Google Test.
And it does not say HOW to install FFTW3 FFmpeg, TagLib, Boost (though I think I have Boost installed?) and Google Test.
Do I have to install all of those? If so, can you tell me where to get them and how to install them? If I do not have to "install" this, which files do I need to extract and where do I need to put them?
On a previous attempt to get this far (I wiped my DiskStation yesterday and started over clean) I tried to "install" chromaprint and ran into problems with CMake - if I need CMake to get where I'm going - then maybe someone can point me to how to get CMake working?
Let me go back to your response - I am a bit confused by it...
You say "if you tried the i686 ipkg package?"... do you mean to download filebot_4.5_i686.ipk and use ipkg install to install FB instead of using the Synology package? Is this a better method? If so, I will go that route.
You say "If you are using the SPK method" I am assuming this means they Synology package? then I need to download the generic x86 Linux libraries - which ones? where? and what do I do with them after I download them - what folder do they go in?
You say set "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" what do you mean by this? set this variable where? .profile? in filebot.sh?
What do you mean by "Native code"?
Bottom line - if you can tell me EXACTLY what to do and how to do it - I'm there... I want FB to work and I am completely open to someone telling me exactly what to do.
Again, appreciate your help.
