You can use m0n0wall's built in features to test newly developed features. With this method you are not able to compile new binaries on the box, but are able to add php pages into the environment, as well as pre-compiled binaries.
Develop the page
Open a browser and point it to http://m0n0wall-ip/exec.php
Upload the page and any binaries needed for it to function properly via exec.php.
Execute the following to place php pages into the www root.
cp /tmp/*.php /usr/local/www
If you need any binaries for the page to work, copy them into the appropriate places.
Type in the address of your new page to try out your experiment.
Using this method, the image will revert after a reboot in case
you messed something up. You may wish to write a script to move everything
into its proper place and upload that along with your pages / binaries if
the feature requires many files. Then simply execute the script in
exec.php. After you've successfully tested the feature, and are happy with
the result, submit your work to <mk@neon1.net> or the m0n0wall development list
for it to be added to the project.
