Hi! Thanks for an amazing piece of software!
Just wanted to share how I got icloud_photos_downloader working on my Synology DS216j "The Best NAS Device of 2015" 😂
Firstly with a new installation, I was getting errors attempting to run from the PyPI package.
([...] File "PyInstaller/loader/pyimod02_importers.py", line 385, in exec_module [...])
I attempted to install from source (with Entware), however, even with a working gcc, I needed the header files to install the cryptography package as there was not a pre-compiled wheel for the platform:
(/usr/syno/include/platformconfig.h is missing on this system...)
This version of DSM was 7.1.1-42962-6 and didn't show an update available in DSM Control Panel.
I noticed there was an update on the Synology site and picked 7.2.1-69057 (with Update 1). Installed manually via Control Panel, rebooted and tried again. Note: I could also have gone to the support site for this.
This time, it worked!
It just needed a temporary directory which can execute files, see the fix.
This may be useful for the few out there also with the same underpowered, almost 10 year old, little box.
