Forum Topic - pkgsrc for BlackBerry 10 OS: (5 Items)
   
pkgsrc for BlackBerry 10 OS  
I was happy to find that there is a package collection for QNX, and even happier that it was pkgsrc :-)

I'm wondering if anyone has considered / looked into the possibility of also supporting the QNX version used by the 
BlackBerry 10 OS (BB10).

uname -a under https://github.com/BGmot/BGShellBB10 shows QNX 8.0.0 armle (elsewhere I've heard armv7).

It is possible to use command-line apps under BB10, and it would probably also be pretty easy to write wrappers for the 
functionality of some other programs.

I've also asked this question at http://forums.crackberry.com/developers-lounge-f9/pkgsrc-more-6000-open-source-apps-
libraries-blackberry-10-os-857820/ but thought people on this list/forum might be more technically knowledgeable about 
these things.

Look in the NDK target binary directories. The NDK includes some binaries that are not accessible otherwise on the phone
. If you only need specific pkgsrc software, then I guess you'll have to import them into Momentics and compile them 
there.

Personally, I would love to have pkgsrc directly on the phone. You could write shell scripts for data sync tasks, have 
svn, and do lots of other nice things.

I'd like to look into cross compilation in general at some
point but haven't gotten around to it yet.  Hopefully soon.
Depending on how that turns out it should be possible to
run against BB10 and see what pops out; however, there may
be dependency issues.
