Speed writing ??? You would save lots of time not typing
all those ‘.’, unless you have an auto-repeat feature on that
key
letter…oh…this is really off-topic ! > > )) …ok…THANKS for your

install a

problem…QNX
RTOS iz a really fast and really cool OS…but there is TOO MUCH GUI
!

Mr Am@deuS
yes.you.can.install.packages.without.the.GUI.package.installer…it.isn’t
magic,.just.a.process.which.we.have.not.yet.documented…a…qpr.or.a
.qpk.file.is.simply.a.tar.gz.file.which.contains.the.layout.of.the.files
that.you.are.going.to.install…you.should.take.the.package.that.you.have
downloaded.(or.off.of.the.cd.etc).and.then.cd./pkgs/repository.and.un-tar
it.there.using:.%.tar.-zxvf.myfile.qpr.or.myfile.qpk…this.will.create
a.directory.structure.containing.the.files…you.need.to.remember.the.
directory.for.the.packages.(ie.qnx/os/dev-2.1)…then.edit.by.hand.the
package.configuration.file./etc/config/package/packages…look.for.a
“qpf:packages”.section.and.add.in.your.component.there.between.two
item.tags.(just.like.all.the.other.entries).ie qpf:packages…
qpf:item>qnx/os/dev-2.1</qpf:item>…qpf:packages.
note.you.might.wanti
…to.save.a.copy.of.this.file.just.in.case.things.go.wrong.so.you.can.restore
.
it.(or.run.the.package.filesystem.with.the.-f option.see.use.fs-pkg).
now
re-starting.the.pcakge.filesystem:.%./usr/sbin/pkgctl.-l./dev/pkginfo*.
and.you.should.have.a.package.installed.
Non-gibberish version: We don’t mind if english isn’t your native
language,
but it really helps us if you don’t turn everything into … stream of
thought paragraphs. Thanks Thomas.
Yes you can install packages without the GUI package installer. It
isn’t
magic, just a process which we have not yet documented. A .qpr or a
.qpk file is simply a tar.gz file which contains the layout of the files
that you are going to install. You should take the package that you
have
downloaded (or off of the CD etc) and then cd /pkgs/repository and
un-tar
it there using: % tar -zxvf myfile.qpr or myfile.qpk. This will create
a directory structure containing the files. You need to remember the
directory for the packages (ie qnx/os/dev-2.1). Then edit by hand the
package configuration file /etc/config/package/packages. Look for a
“QPF:packages” section and add in your component there between two
item tags (just like all the other entries) ie
QPF:packages
…
QPF:item>qnx/os/dev-2.1</QPF:item
…
QPF:packages
Note you might want to save a copy of this file just in case things go
wrong so you can restore it (or run the package filesystem with the -f
option see use fs-pkg).
Now re-starting the pcakge filesystem: % /usr/sbin/pkgctl -l
/dev/pkginfo*
and you should have a package installed.
