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 system type : BCM7346B2 STB platform machine : Unknown processor : 0 cpu model : Broadcom BMIPS5000 V1.1 FPU V0.1 BogoMIPS : 864.25 cpu MHz : 1305.007 wait instruction : yes microsecond timers : yes tlb_entries : 64 extra interrupt vector : yes hardware watchpoint : no isa : mips1 mips2 mips32r1 ASEs implemented : shadow register sets : 1 kscratch registers : 0 core : 0 VCED exceptions : not available VCEI exceptions : not available processor : 1 cpu model : Broadcom BMIPS5000 V1.1 FPU V0.1 BogoMIPS : 655.36 cpu MHz : 1305.007 wait instruction : yes microsecond timers : yes tlb_entries : 64 extra interrupt vector : yes hardware watchpoint : no isa : mips1 mips2 mips32r1 ASEs implemented : shadow register sets : 1 kscratch registers : 0 core : 0 VCED exceptions : not available VCEI exceptions : not available Now, which repositories should I use to get the following packages: gcc gcc-symlinks make-dev binutils-dev libgcc-dev ?
