qnxinstall

Hi there!

Can I install this gui application on my 6.4.0 version ?

qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3. … stall.html

Bye :slight_smile:

Theoretically it may be possible to run the
old one but IMHO it’s not worth the trouble
as AFAIK everything it installs is ancient.

Sorry but it’s 2 days that I’m reading about " pkgsrc " but I don’t understand it! A gui i so simple to understand ;’(

What’s the problem?

-seanb

I cannot understand how to installa a program! :frowning:

Have you read the binary packages page?

community.qnx.com/sf/wiki/do/vie … ryPackages

What issue are you having?

For exemple:

Add /usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin to your PATH

Where is my PATH ? Where is the file where I have to put " /usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin ".

Or I have to do 2 dir 1 named " pkg " and 2 named " bin ".

Io don’t now what to do mmhh…

:neutral_face:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_(variable
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable

On qnx add the following line to you ~/.profile

export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin

Then log out, then log back in.
The following should then show the changes:

echo ${PATH}

I updated the binary packages page:

pkgsrc is pretty cool. I spent a lot of time on NetBSD learning it.

When we get a new xphoton it’ll be more awesome then we can run rootless gui apps.

Thanls! ;)

I do this:

export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/QNX///All

/bin/sh: cannot open arch: No such file or directory

export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/QNX/i386/6.4.0_head_2

0081005/All

pkg_add -v roxirc-1.8nb1.tgz

pkg_add -v roxirc-1.8nb1

/bin/sh: pkg_add: cannot execute - No such file or directory

pkg_add -v roxirc-1

r/pkg/sbin

Can you help me please ?

Thanks :stuck_out_tongue:

Did you do this step as mentioned in the binary packages page?

  • Bootstrap archives can be found under pub/pkgsrc/packages/QNX///bootstrap.tar.gz

Untar bootstrap.tar.gz under the root directory (/).

Thanks sean, I try later.

Maybe it’s better that I install " phinstaller " ? What do you think about it ?

Bye ;)

I second that. I can’t understand why the software installer and the .qpk package format has gone. May be pkgsrc supports dependency resolution but a nice GUI that automatically downloads the required packages is easier to use than this command line solution.

So why making things more difficult than easier? Will the next version of QNX be even more uncomfortable?
