Compiling on-box

It is possible to compile some software directly on the Humax itself. Due to the limited amount of CPU horsepower available, this is only recommended for fairly small packages.

First you need to install the gcc and gawk packages. gcc is the compiler itself and automatically pulls in dependant packages, gawk is needed to properly support packages which use GNU autoconf, which most do.

humax# opkg install gcc gawk
