hello every one!
i'm trying to add LCD display to my freenas machine.
the display is hd44780 with lcd2usb connection.
i figured that i need to install LCDPROC so i did:
it worked nice but it seems that the package doesn't include the driver for LCD2USB converter and for that i need to download the source of LCDPROC and compile my self.
so i downloaded it but when i try to compile it say that he can't find C++ compiler (which i can understand because it's a minimal installation)
so i tried to add a compiler with:
it looked like i almost won but then i got disk full error, it seems that the package is too big...
so i tried to compile it on ubunto machine and copy the new driver to the freenas machine but it doesn't really work.
does any one here have know a better way for this?
for general info, i'm running freenas from usb storage, version 8.0.1.
thanks!
