How to install TGZ files?

If the package doesn’t contain instal instructions, or the instructions
are incorrect, then this is a rather annoying problem which in itself
has nothing to do with tgz or qpk/qpm.

But qpk/qpm files should be made especially to work with a standard
installation of QNX RTP, shouldn’t they?

What I meant is, they are only a packaging form. But the porting has to
be done by someone in the first place. I assume that if you have a
qpk/qpm package, then some kind sole has already ported it (probably
from a tgz package…).

By the way, coincidence or not, I also suddenly need Gimp stuff now :slight_smile:
Last night I had a go in porting Netscape 6, and this is one of the
things I’m missing. Are you also doing the same thing?
