burning an Bootable cd for QNX

I guess I didn’t make it clear in my previous question, I’m trying to make a
Bootable cd for QNX. I’m using Qnx 4.25, Photon 1.44, Watcom c/c++ compiler
10.6, I downloaded the mkisofs utility from

ftp://ftp.qnx.com/usr/free/qnx4/gnu/mkisofs-1.11.1.tgz

but there isn’t any executables, I try to do a Make, it gives an error
in the beginning saying “Makefle 35: commands commence before first target,
stop”.


Does anyone know ?? or is ther a way to get around this in oder to make a
bootable CD for qnx?

not sure why you are having problems with the makefile. it works fine for me
here with qnx425.

anyway, you need the binary only… so i put the one that i have used on
my site:

staff.qnx.com/~randy/drops

called mkisofs-qnx4

the man page (mkisofs.:sunglasses: has all the docs on how to use it and how to use
the El torito extensions to make a bootable cd (by specifying a bootable
floppy image that you make)

Randy,
first off thanks for mentioning mkisofs.8, I have been trying for a long time to
create bootable cd’s in QNX and could never find an explination of how to use
mkisofs. However, could you by any chance tell me how I can read the file
mkisofs.8? I am not clear on what format it is in, I am not familiar with how to
read man files.

Do you have an executable man? If not, try qdn. Or if you have
groff, try
groff -man -Tascii mkisofs.8 | less
