Emacs 21.2 and MySQL 3.23.49 available

Emacs 21.2 and MySQL 3.23.49 are now available for
QNX 6.2 release version (NC will do). Point the
“old” package installer, pkg-installer, at the
repository at
http://developers.cogentrts.com/repository
and install from there.

Notes:

  1. There is no source available for MySQL, and the
    source archive for emacs doesn’t compile. In
    both cases we had to hack the C libraries and
    headers to get them to compile and run.
  2. Emacs requires that you install the X-Windows
    libraries, even if you plan to run in a
    terminal with “emacs -nw”. The best choice is
    to install XFree86 from the 3rd-party CD, and
    create the link:
    ln -s …/opt/X11R6 /usr
    then run XPhoton to get a session within Photon.
    If you don’t want to download the entire 3rd-
    party CD just for XFree86, point the package
    installer at:
    http://qnx.wox.org/qnxpub100

Cheers,

Will emacs 21.2 work under QNX 6.1.0A or only 6.2?

BTW … if you don’t like the internet based installation
because of security reasons … a plain tar.gz
version of XFree86 is available at

I just got QNX Momentics Standard Edition 6.2.0. I installed XFree86 and
Emacs off of the 3rd Party CD. I start an XPhoton session and try to run
emacs. I get “Could not find library libpng10.so.0”. DDD runs okay. I
have tried both the soft link and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH tricks, and I don’t
know what else to try. Thanks in advance.

Hi James,
libpng is in a separate package on the CD, as are libgif, libtiff and a few
others
that emacs might complain about. Once you have installed all of the support
libraries, emacs will crash on startup. The memory organization of QNX6.2
changed between Beta3 and release. The 3rd-party CD was built before
the release version was even available. You can get the latest emacs
archive from http://developers.cogentrts.com/repository. It will work
with the release version of QNX6.2. You will still need to install the
image library packages from the 3rd-party CD.

Cheers,
Andrew
