MongoDb for OrangePI

MongoDb 3.2.12 for Orange Pi precompiled binaries for 32 bit armv7l.

WARNING

This 32-bit legacy distribution does not include SSL encryption and is limited to around 2GB of data. In general you should use the 64 bit builds.

sudo swapon /mytempswapfile

#Generate additional sources
cd src/third_party/mozjs-38/
./get_sources.sh
./gen-config.sh arm linux
cd -

#Start compiling
scons mongo mongod -j4 --disable-warnings-as-errors --wiredtiger=off --mmapv1=on --warn=no-all
