dtrace build issue  
Hi,

My setup has a standalone x86 qnx machine.

I have downloaded qnx dtrace source code through svn and followed the instructions for dtrace source build.  I couldn't 
successfully build dtrace source code.  Could you please clarify the following?

a. Should I be building QNX OS/Kernel source before building dtrace?

b. Though both the OS and dtrace source have "trunk" folders, I couldn't find Makefile within dtrace/trunk.  Should we 
explicitly create a Makefile within dtrace/trunk for its build to succeed?  If so, what should be its contents for "make
 CPULIST=x86 hinstall" in dtrace build to work?
   
Thanks and Regards,
Grunush

Hi Grunush,

You shouldn't need to build the kernel source.

However you should not build the 'trunk' of dtrace - it's not in a sane state.  If you want to play around
and get to know the source, use branches/old_dev_dtrace - that should build for you.  Make sure to do a make
hinstall; make install - and setup a stage directory! (see the QNX OS Project for details on how to do that
if you don't know how)

Cheers,

Colin
