spksrc is a cross compilation framework intended to compile and package software for Synology NAS devices. Packages are made available via the SynoCommunity repository.

Before opening issues or package requests, see CONTRIBUTING.

• Fork and clone spksrc: git clone https://You@github.com/You/spksrc.git ~/spksrc
• Install Docker on your host OS: Docker installation. A wget-based alternative for linux: Install Docker with wget.
• Download the spksrc docker container: docker pull synocommunity/spksrc
• Run the container with docker run -it -v ~/spksrc:/spksrc synocommunity/spksrc /bin/bash

A virtual machine based on an 64-bit version of Debian stable OS is recommended. Non-x86 architectures are not supported.

• Install the requirements:

  sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update
  sudo aptitude install build-essential debootstrap python-pip automake libgmp3-dev libltdl-dev libunistring-dev libffi-dev libcppunit-dev ncurses-dev imagemagick libssl-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev gettext git curl subversion check intltool gperf flex bison xmlto php5 expect libgc-dev mercurial cython lzip cmake swig libc6-i386
  sudo pip install -U setuptools pip wheel httpie
  

• You may need to install some packages from testing like autoconf. Read about Apt-Pinning to know how to do that.

• Some older toolchains may require 32-bit development versions of packages, e.g. zlib1g-dev:i386
