Compile C applications with gcc on AppleTV2.

Here is a good tutorial, building a Webserver, direct on your AppleTV.
Follow these steps:

Download sys32.tgz, and copy it to Apple TV2 path /var/mobile/

Install the 3.2 SDK header file (this is huge)

download the Utilities_atv2.zip (1238 K) source code (including the ATv2 header-files) to Apple TV2 path /var/root/

Note : Remove with make uninstall

Package and install deb packages

Deb package installation

Reboot the Apple TV2

Mongoose Web server

You will now see a new menu item “Utilities”.
Start the server in the sub menu
Now in your favorite computer’s browser type : “http:// to your AppleTV2 IP address: 8080 /”, such as “Appletv.local:8080/

You should now get something like this:

The ipod4g.frontrow.appliance.utilities_atv2_1.1_iphoneos-arm.deb file is ready for download if you would like to test without the GCC installation set.
