Building from source with pkgsrc.#

Before you start#

• QNX support for 'pkgsrc' is currently for self hosted machines only. Please see the QNX site for download information.
• Make sure you have an internet connection. 'pkgsrc' will download distributions from applicable sites.

Bootstrapping under 6.3.2#

Bootstrapping under 6.4.X#

Set up your environment#

• Add /usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin to your PATH
• Add /usr/pkg/lib to your CS_LIBPATH
  • I have the following in my /etc/rc,d/rc.local
    setconf CS_LIBPATH $(getconf CS_LIBPATH):/usr/pkg/lib

Bootstrap#

• Download pkgsrc with QNX diffs. Familiarize yourself with the repository layout:
  • The real work WRT QNX support is done under pkgsrc/HEAD_64X branch where X should correspond to your current version of QNX.
  • The vendor branch contains snapshots of the unmodified NetBSD tree. These are useful for diffs and merges to the entire HEAD_64X branch but otherwise aren't that interesting.
• Note: this is a subversion repository. If you've registered with the Foundry27 site, the above link should present a sample checkout command. For example, to check out the entire repository:

# svn checkout --username <username> http://community.qnx.com/svn/repos/pkgsrc

• However, each branch is fairly large. To check out only the HEAD_641 branch with QNX diffs:

# svn checkout --username <username> http://community.qnx.com/svn/repos/pkgsrc/HEAD_641

• Once that's done you should be ready to bootstrap:

# cd pkgsrc/bootstrap

# ./bootstrap

Try your first package#

# cd misc/figlet

# bmake install

# pkg_info
