I would like to use the mig4nto tools to convert some old code from QNX4 to Neutrino to help bring me back up to speed 
on QNX.  I have been away from QNX and programming for over 6 years! and am struggling with the Neutrino IDE.  I have 
downloaded the mig4nto.tar and mig4nto.qpr files.  I can unpack the .tar files but do not have a QNX4 system up and 
understand that this package only runs on QNX4.

I have no memory of the .qpr and simply do not know what to do with it! 

I have read through the mig4nto documentation but do not see the command(s) to unpack? the application to get started.

All help will be enjoyed!

Randy

Actually a QPR file is an old Neutrino packaging format.  It
is used by the pkginstaller to install source for a Neutrino
(QNX6) system.

A QPR is simply a tar.gz file with an associated XML manifest
that also describes any additional links that may be required
to create during installation.

The mig4nto source is all on the Foundry27 site now so if you
run into difficulties extracting it, you can get the source
directly from the Core OS project.

Hope this helps,
 Thomas

Re: RE: mig4nto.qpr

Many thanks Thomas.  I had forgotten (or maybe never knew) about the qnxinstaller.  I found the .qpr extension reference
 after your response!

Re: RE: mig4nto.qpr

I have now successfully used the mig4nto on a QNX4 system, not Neutrino, and the following is furnished in case others 
have the same experience.

I used the Photon Installer to install the mig4nto.qpr package and the installation seemed successful.  However, when I 
try to execute the "mig4nto" utility I get error messages at the command line no matter what form of the command I use. 
 i.e.;
"mig4nto -o nto example.c"

The errors consist of 3 "not found" lines and one "syntax error" line.

Since I have acquired the desired utility using mig4nto on the QNX4 system and have many ;-)) other items I do not 
understand, I am just posting as info.

I note that "use mig4nto" on the QNX4 system gives different options than are shown in the Photon "Help" for the command
.

Re: RE: mig4nto.qpr

Is mig4nto in your path? If not, you can execute a binary by specifying
a path. (E.g. ./mig4nto or /root/mig4nto)
