wiki1428: Bootstrap (Version 1)

Bootstraping pkgsrc from source#

Before building packages from source under QNX, it's recommended you download and install a tar archive containing fixes and omissions to our kit this entire exercise has uncovered. This may be updated periodically and the fixes contained within will eventually be part of general distribution of QNX. You may want to verify its contents and backup any existing components. At the time of writing this archive contains:

  • usr/bin/patch
    • The shipped one doesn't do anything. PR 21085.
  • usr/qnx632/target/qnx6/x86/usr/lib/libtermcap.a
    usr/qnx632/target/qnx6/x86/usr/lib/libtermcapS.a
    • tgetent() can pull out terminal definition for ansi rather than qansi. PR 45283.
    • tcsh can tickle this one.
