tcamargo/dsm-media_build

Quick and dirty attempt to create a working development environment to compile dvb drivers for a Synology NAS and DSM 6.2.3. It only supports x86_64 (apollolake), but you can easily modify it for other architectures.

1. Clone repository and build docker image. Don't use the image available on Dockerhub.

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tcamargo/dsm-media_build.git
cd dsm-media_build && make docker-image

2. Compile media drivers

make docker-container
make

4. Install

make install

Modules will go to /lib/modules/<kernel_version>. Just copy this directory to your Synology NAS. To avoid messing with standard modules, I copied all files to my home directory and used a script (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/modules.sh) to load the necessary modules during startup. Mind the loading order (check modules.dep) and DVB frontend drivers (see dmesg).
