install tar file

I just installed rtp… the old install command for qnx4 doesnt’ work
anymore,
it was /etc/install -u filename.tar.gz

does anyone know the new command?

If you want to extract the file, you can do “tar -zxvof filename.tar.gz”,
(also doing that from / is not a bad idea).

There is usually .qpk (QNX package) files in QNX RTP. Use “pkg-installer -u filename.qpk” to
install the right QNX RtP’s package. .tar.gz or .tgz is compressed archive, so you can decompress
it by “tar -xzf filename.tar.gz”. Often you should do it from / directory, then files are extracted
to right subdirectories. You could read more detailed info about tar in helpviewer. Or try one way
from follows (sorry I don’t remember exactly right way for tar;-))
$ use tar
$ tar --help
$ tar

Don’t forget QNX RtP uses package file system, so the only right way to install software is through
package installer. Otherwise you’ll have got mostly the problems with read-only filesystem.

Best regards,
Eduard.

I’m sorry, I don’t know what I was thinking about…
The right RtP’s package is .qpr file. This file consists of .qpk, .qpm (qnx package manifest) and
license files which are tarred and gzipped… So, to install package

pkg-installer -u file:///path/filename.qpr

I’m sorry for mistake.
