PLEASE consider: DSM 7 is not officially released yet. The beta release is available since December 08 2020 and there will (hopefully) be a Release Candidate (RC 1) in the near future. We expect an official Release of DSM 7 by Synology later in 2021 (be not surprised when DSM 7 is not officially released before summer 2021).
- Despite you see packages of SynoCommunity in the Package Center of your Diskstation with DSM 7, these packages are not compatible with DSM 7.
- PLEASE do not create issues saying that package _xy_ cannot be installed on DSM 7.
- We will create an issue here that will give an overview of the packages, whether available for DSM 7 or not. But this will not start before the dsm7 branch is merged back into master and we have official DSM 7 toolchains available from synology.
- If you want to try preview versions of packages for DSM 7 that are built on the dsm7 branch, you can look into PR #4395 SynoCommunity#4395. From time to time you will find preview versions for manual installation on DSM 7.
- And we have issue #4215 for DSM 7 related discussions SynoCommunity#4215.
- You are welcome to contribute: checkout the dsm7 branch and try to build and test the installation of your favorite package and give related feedback. This will shorten the time from official DSM 7 release until the package is available in the SynoCommunity Package Center for download.
- As this is a community project where people spend there spare time for contribution, it may take a long time until most of the packages are ported to DSM 7. (There are still packages here that are not ported from DSM 5 to DSM 6 yet).
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 a new issue, check the FAQ and search open issues. If you can't find an answer, or if you want to open a package request, read CONTRIBUTING to make sure you include all the information needed for contributors to handle your request.
- Fork and clone spksrc:
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/spksrc ~/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 10 stable OS is recommended. Non-x86 architectures are not supported.
Install the requirements (in sync with Dockerfile):
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update sudo apt update sudo apt install autogen automake bc bison build-essential check cmake curl cython debootstrap ed expect flex g++-multilib gawk gettext git gperf imagemagick intltool jq libbz2-dev libc6-i386 libcppunit-dev libffi-dev libgc-dev libgmp3-dev libltdl-dev libmount-dev libncurses-dev libpcre3-dev libssl-dev libtool libunistring-dev lzip mercurial ncurses-dev ninja-build php pkg-config python3 python3-distutils rename scons subversion swig texinfo unzip xmlto zlib1g-dev wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/2.7/get-pip.py -O - | sudo python2 sudo pip2 install wheel httpie wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -O - | sudo python3 sudo pip3 install meson==0.56.0
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
Once you have a development environment set up, you can start building packages, create new ones, or improve upon existing packages while making your changes available to other people. See the Developers HOW TO for information on how to use spksrc.
