3'rd party CD (Emacs) and QNX 6.1A

The 3’rd party CD is great - no longer searching all over the internet for
life saving libraries and utilities.

One problem that I ran into though:

The emacs binaries on the 3’rd party CD does not work under QNX 6.1A you get
unresolved on:

  • freeaddrinfo()
  • getaddrinfo()
  • gai_strerror()

which I guess are new for the socket library for 6.2

I think everything on 3’rd party CD is compiled under 6.2
The tcpip world of 6.2 is totally new compare to 6.1.
Stack, libsocket, headers…

If a 3’rd party software using tcpip, the binary won’t
work on 6.1 (usually).

I was wondering if the 3’rd party CD was meant for 6.2, but didn’t find any
reference to the fact that it had to be 6.2. I also figured that it was
therefore Mozilla was seperated out by itself because it will only run under
6.2.

I haven’t looked at it but I seem to remember cdm said
all the ported sources are on the CD. This means you should
be able to compile it on a 6.1 box if you want a 6.1 binary.

Mozilla’s separation is a different reason …

BTW, I’ve been able to make Mozilla work in both 6.1 and 6.2 now.
the version that is downloadble at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/openqnx
should work in either 6.1 or 6.2.

I just unzip’ed the source and emacs seems have been left out.

Emacs actually has a source package on the CDROM.

You can always just get the 6.1 binary from the guys that provided it for
the public cd. http://www.cogent.ca/.
