Need help setting up NTP (XNTP)

I need to install and NTP client onto a QNX (v4.25c) system here. I
downloaded both of the NTP distributions on QUICS. The simpler one:
qnx-ntp indicates it’s only NTP v1. The server I need to connect to
claims to be v3. Not knowing NTP very well I decided to move onto
xntp3 since it claims to be v3.

After unzipping/untaring the distribution I entered the following:

cd xntp3
make install

Things go along well until it gets to “creating NTP daemon”. I get an
error message indicating the sys/signal.h file can’t be found. Sure
enough I don’t have a /usr/include/sys/signal.h only
a /usr/include/signal.h

I’m not much of a systems person so all of this
installation/configuration stuff is new to me. Can someone steer me in
the right direction to getting NTP installed and configured? Along the
way I want to learn what I’m doing, but I’m already behind in the race
and I’ve only just left the gate.

TIA

Before you buy.

I’m using the qnx-ntp one. It talks to my v3 server fine.
All I had to do was create an /etc/ntp.conf file for it:

server

and that’s it!
