Tickadj & nlist.h for QNX4

Hi

Im putting version 3.5f of NTP onto our QNX network, and am having a problem with clockdrift. This can be fixed by a utility that comes with the 3.5f archive called Tickadj, which can alter the microsecond increment value for the clock and the slew rate also. The source for Tickadj will not compile because of a missing header file nlist.h, which is being looked for in the usr/include directory (we are using Watcom). The #include statement for nlist.h has been #ifdefd out for QNX, but the
code makes no further QNX consessions, and attempts to create structures
based on types I can only assume are defined in this header file. Apart
from this one problem, the entire archive compiles successfully!

Has anyone built Tickadj successfully? If so, where did you get your
nlist.h file!?!

Many thanks,
Richard Levy

hi there

i just downloaded the free version of QNX - the installation was smooth,
and i have to admit that i’m really impressed with what i’ve seen so
far. unfortunately i have still some problems with the videocard. i’ve
got a viper tnt2 ultra. is there a way to have photon use the correct
driver? it seems to be stuck with the default vesa driver.

thanks a lot

Are you running the RTP or QNX4? The free version for download is RTP, but
this is the qnx4 newsgroup. (I just want to make sure
before so I can ask for the correct information)

Hi Max,

This news group is actually not the one you want to post this question to.
The best news group to post to would be:

qdn.public.qnxrtp.photon

The developers surf that news group looking for bugs/problems. If you post
there, it will be seen more quickly than on the QNX4 news group.

FYI, QNX4 is another OS, not the QNX RTP (which uses Neutrino 2.0 as its
core OS, and on top of that runs a windowing environment called Photon 2.0,
all together named the RTP).

Take care.

Erick.

Not true. We developers surf all the groups. Your post will be seen
just as quickly if it’s posted in the Neutrino or QNX4 groups.

You may get a quicker response in the Neutrino groups since there are
more people who know the answers to most questions.
