Is there any problem or do I need to do something new to use qnet
between a computer with QNX 6.2.1 and QNX 6.3?
I had two computers with QNX 6.2.1 SE and no problem with qnet.
But in one of them I have just installed the new QNX 6.3 and qnet doesnt
work. It is working TCP/IP but not qnet.
What could happend?
Thank you
qnet of 6.3 and 6.2.1 aren’t compability (that’s the second time compability is lost ;-( ) However 6.3 comes with the the old qnet protocol you can use that instead. Check the release notes.
Type the command “use mount” in a shell and you’ll get a help message including the following example:
mount -T io-net /lib/dll/npm-qnet.so
Change it to:
mount -T io-net /lib/dll/npm-qnet-compat.so
Sadly, this is still not completely compatible. You can not perform operations from the qnx 6.3 box. I consider this to be a stupid and glaring bug. Why go to the trouble of making a separate compatibility driver and not have full compatibility functioning!?
That’s not what I expect. What kind of operations you can’t perform from a 6.3 box (to a 6.2.1 box I guess)?
I have changed the link in /lib/dll/npm-qnet.so to npm-qnet-compat.so.
(it is said in the release notes).
I can use the terminal window to explore and to copy from/to QNX 6.2.1
to/from QNX 6.3.
But I can only use the File Manager in the computer with QNX 6.2.1. In the computer with QNX 6.3, the file manager can not see any file of
the computer with QNX 6.2.1??
Thank you
