The Code

As a quick hack, let's compile a really simple "hello world" C application. Save the following code as compilertest.c:

int main( int argc, char** argv ) {
  printf( "hello, tivo!\n" ); 
}

Compile it using the tools you just installed:

$ /home/tivodev/root/bin/gcc -o compilertest compilertest.c

Upload the resulting compilertest binary to TiVo's /var/hack/bin directory, make it executable, and give it a whirl:

bash-2.02# chmod 755 /var/hack/bin/test
bash-2.02# test 
hello, tivo!
