Installation on AMS 150 (Fujitsu Siemens)

[qwertzy0815]

Hi,

First of all thank you for this really nice suitable software!!!

I bought the Activity Media Server AMS 150 from Fujitsu Siemens. It’s a NAS with the following values

processor       : 0

cpu             : 82xx

revision        : 16.20 (pvr 8081 1014)

bogomips        : 176.94

vendor          : Motorola

machine         : MPC8241

processor       : PVID: 0x80811014, vendor: Motorola

Linux version 2.4.32 (andy@friends) (gcc version 3.2.3) #1 Mon Aug 28 20:13:32 CST 2006

The NAS comes originally without telnet, but the gents from the FS AMS 150 forum found a way to install some tools like telnet, ssh a.s.o. with some help from the DSM-G600 friends.
I unpacked their for the DSM compiled version (http://download.dsmg600.info/mt-daapd-0.2.4.tar.bz2) and copied it into the recommended directories, hopefully.

drwxrwxrwx    3 501      501          4096 Jun 30 08:59 mt-daapd

Amongst others I did

mkdir -p /mnt/HD_a2/mt-daapd/cache

ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/mt-daapd/libz.so.1 /lib/

ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/mt-daapd/libgdbm.so.3 /lib/

ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/mt-daapd/libid3tag.so.0 /lib/ /mnt/HD_a2/mt-daapd

mt-daapd -c /mnt/HD_a2/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf

with the mt-daapd.conf

web_root	/mnt/HD_a2/mt-daapd/admin-root

port		3689

admin_pw	mt-daapd

db_dir		/mnt/HD_a2/mt-daapd/cache

mp3_dir		/mnt/Music

servername	mt-daapd

runas	nobody

extensions .mp3,.m4a,.m4p

After manual starting

/mnt/HD_a2/mt-daapd/mt-daapd -c /mnt/HD_a2/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.conf

I receive the following error message

/mnt/HD_a2/mt-daapd/mt-daapd: can't resolve symbol '__ctype_b'

I googled a bit and found out that this is supposed to be a compiling error caused by a wrong lib.

Here it ends for me so far.
Any idea? Do I have to cross compile (Oh god, how?) mt-daapd for the AMS 150 or is there any other solution? Thank you.

Care to try a newer version?
http://nightlies.mt-daapd.org holds quite a few flavours 😉

[qwertzy0815]

Thank you for the Link, but i don’t know which one?

How do i compile the .tar.gz for the Linux version on my AMS 150?

[fizze]

Not without a complete toolchain. Which is tough.

Whats the

uname -a

output of your machine?

Depending on your model being RevA or RevB, and according to http://dsmg600.info/ its a PPC, so you could always give it a try with one of the PPC binaries or ipkgs from that site.

If there is no ipkg available, the ipk is just a tar-gz’d file that has a data and config archive within. You can extract them manually and try to run the binary to see wether its compatible.

Hi fizze,

uname -a gives a failure. The program is not installed …

And it is_not_ a DSM-G600! I read in the Siemens Forum that the AMS 150 is more or less similar to the DSM.

Ahhh. Ok. I see. I clicked your link.

Ok. How do i manually extract the ipk file?

Mmmh. Google says tar xvzf blabla.ipk.

Let me try …

[qwertzy0815]

So. I could manually extract mt-daapd_svn-1673-1ds101g_powerpc.ipk and received 3 different files.

Oct 4 05:14 control.tar.gz
791162 Oct 4 05:14 data.tar.gz
4 Oct 4 05:14 debian-binary

I extracted data.tar.gz and get a directory named /opt.

What am I do with this?

[fizze]

Well browse into that directory, somewhere within resides the binary 😉

usually in /opt/bin or /opt/usr/bin.

[qwertzy0815]

Do i just have to replace the old binary on the AMS 150 or do i need the whole directory structure?

[fizze]

As the binary is newer and requires generally new libs, you probably have to replace a lot more.

As there is no guarantee this will work, just a tryout, just +x the new binary and try to fire it up and see what happens 🙂

if it works, go ahead and replace the existing one, if not, tough luck.

[qwertzy0815]

fizze, i replaced just the binary and reboot. It seems to run.

Whats about the libraries? Any need for that?
