Can I add this to my addons:
ARMv5 Linux - Headless EABI, SoftFP ABI, Little Endian3 32 MB Downloadejre-7u55-fcs-b13-linux-arm-sflt-headless-17_mar_2014.tar.gz

and how would i set the path for /bin/java in your firmware?

I would like the jre, which is required, to run this app
http://www.filebot.net/

Need to deepen but it seems that filebot doesn't have a remoteGUI and so can not be used on a NAS.

I tried the link as posted some time ago, that arm version won't work on our NAS and there is no source code for recompile

Filebot does have a command line interface and scripting automation that work very well. That's too bad about the Java though, thanks anyway.

Would ARM v6 or v7 work?

no they also don't work (on these nas devices it is an arm5)

Just fyi, I was able to get JRE 7u55 running on firmware 15.2, if anyone else is looking for the same. I have not tried any of the jdk or java 8 packages.

:thumbup thats interesting can you post how you did it ?

Sure:
I downloaded the armv5 headless jre 7 update 55 into fvdw/addons
unzipped with

Code: Select all

tar zxvf java7.tar.gz

At this point, if I type the full path to the java command and test with -version, it works. I'm not sure if there is a difference in the firmware or the java, but it just works.

Code: Select all

/share/1000/fvdw/addons/ejre1.7.0_55/bin/java -version

Then I set JAVA_HOME and PATH

Code: Select all

JAVA_HOME=/share/1000/fvdw/addons/ejre1.7.0_55
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH

So now i can just do

Code: Select all

java -version

as a test and it works

Then set HOME and PATH with the same lines above in /etc/profile so that they are set permanently.
Still works after a restart and is working with programs dependent on java runtime environment.

I'm not sure if that helps anyone or it was just a matter of checking after updates, but that's it!
I can post any other output or information you don't get the same results. Happy developing :rock

Hi karainier,

export in profile file is not enough: HOME and updated PATH are only available with a shell console in this case.

JAVA_HOME and updated PATH must be added in the main shell script (rcS) so that they are available in all case.
