I just bought a set top box (digital reciever - Vu+ Solo2) which runs Linux, and would like to compile some C software on it. It uses OPKG as the package manager. I executed
opkg update
and:
root@vusolo2:~# opkg install gcc
Unknown package 'gcc'.
Collected errors:
opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package gcc.
root@vusolo2:~#
I figured that this is because I do not have the necessary repositories. The files in /etc/opkg/ only point to feeds/repositories that are owned by the creators of the Linux image that the receiver is running (Black Hole).
As far as I understood, the repositories need to match the CPU architecture. Here is the output of /proc/cpuinfo:
root@vusolo2:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo

Now, which repositories should I use to get the following packages:
gcc
gcc-symlinks
make-dev
binutils-dev
libgcc-dev
?
