Hi all,
I’m pretty happy MBL user, but I’m missing some important features (subtitle support in media player, possibility to backup to Amazon Glacier service). For both, there is a solution, that requires some compiling to be done.
There are several tutorials, but they’re quite obsolete these days, because they’re related to older firmware generation (01.xxx), that was tight to lenny or squeeze debian distribution. But firmware 02.xxx is tight more to squeeze or wheezy and lenny is too old in this case.
If you check /etc/apt/sources.list, OOTB contains following:
[root@MyBookLive ~]# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main
Then possible installation of gcc:
[root@MyBookLive ~]# aptitude -s install gcc

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-ppc64: Depends: libc6 (= 2.11.2-2) but 2.13-38 is to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Upgrade the following packages:
libc6-ppc64 [2.11.2-2 (now) -> 2.13-38 (stable)]
Score is 120
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
will also update binutils libc-bin libc6 libgcc1 libgomp1 libstdc++6 and locales.
Also, libc6-ppc64: Depends: libc6 (= 2.11.2-2) but 2.13-38 is to be installed.
Has anyone tried this? Do you know whether such updates won’t make any of the current packages (mainly WD proprietary stuff) stop working?
Many thanks for any updates,
Andrew
