Freetype Support on Synology DS-107+ - 2008/02/10 05:55
I bought a DS-107+ NAS from Synology and got it working with SwissCenter. Video streaming, audio streaming, slideshows, everything works... except...
I have no "Now Playing..." screen, and I also know why: There's no freetype support on the disk. I've been over a load of sites and several of them tells me that it so easy to get this working. Basically "You just need to cross-compile the freetype binaries on another linux distro and then install it on the NAS". A-ha, really?
I normally don't concider myself to be sub-avarage intelligence-wise, but then again, I'm not that much of a linux person. I have no idea how to get this done. (yeah, that's right. Start laughing...)
I think I managed to crosscompile soemthing with this tutorial:

But I'm not really sure how to use the thing I get out of it or even if I did it correctly.
Is there any of you who have a DS-107+ and got the freetype support working, or just know how to make and use an installation that could write a very detailed, step-by-step, n00b-safe tutorial on how to get this darn thing working??
