Host Installation#

• Install QNX6.6 on host.
• Install PSP 660-3851-RS5495 on host for missing headers.

Target side#

• install PkgsrcOnQnx6.6/p4.tar.gz and add it to your PATH

# cd $HOME
# tar -xzvf p4.tar.gz
# export PATH=${PATH}:${HOME}/bin/pkgsrc

• Edit bin/pkgsrc/doit and set your CPU, HOST and QNXINSTALL vars where QNXINSTALL is where qnx6.6 is installed on the host.

• NFS mount pkgsrc tree and /usr/pkg from host at same point on target
  • My $HOME is the same on host / target
  • I have http://community.qnx.com/svn/repos/pkgsrc/HEAD_660/pkgsrc checked out under $HOME/pkgsrc on host.
  • Note: /usr/pkg may be able to be copied to target after initial bootstrap instead of mounting it from host. Needs more testing.

# fs-nfs3 <host_ip>:$HOME/pkgsrc $HOME/pkgsrc <host_ip>:/usr/pkg /usr/pkg

• Set up ssh-agent so you can ssh in to host without passwd
  • hint: make sure host can do a reverse DNS lookup of target to make this as fast as possible.

# eval $(ssh-agent)
# ssh-add

• Some of the pkgsrc checks for builtin functinality look for headers under /usr/include. You can either:
  • Copy or nfs mount ${QNX_TARGET}/usr/include from the host to /usr/include on the target.
  • Add the following lines to $PREFIX/etc/mk.conf on the target after having bootstrapped pkgsrc where PREFIX is as specified to the bootstrap command (default /usr/pkg).
    • Note there may be other such overrides needed; they'll be added as they're discovered.

USE_BUILTIN.dl=yes
USE_BUILTIN.pthread=yes

• Try some stuff

# cd pkgsrc/bootstrap
# ./bootstrap

Misc notes#

• mail/mutt needs to know where to spool mail

# mkdir /var/spool
# mkdir -m 0777 /var/spool/mail
# chmod +t /var/spool/mail
