Install the archives

Install the archives (no apk)

Every package is also a plain .tar.gz in the packages-8.0-<ARCH> releases. To install one, check its SHA-256 from the release's INDEX, then unpack it under /data/oss. Without apk you install the dependencies yourself, and a saved file list lets you remove exactly what you installed. Do the base image steps first, including section 5.

1. All packages at once: install-all

target/install-all does the steps of section 2 for every package. It takes the newest version of each package from both INDEX files and leaves out sdl2-compat, which is the alternative to sdl2. It uses only what a default image has (curl, openssl, sed, awk, tar, gzip).

qnx# cd /data && curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openqnx/oss/main/target/install-all
qnx# sh /data/install-all $ARCH                    # install root /data/oss by default
qnx#   ... [n/N] <name> <version> ...
qnx#   done: N installed, 0 already there, 0 failed (of N)
qnx# ONLY='zlib|zstd|curl' sh /data/install-all $ARCH   # only these (a trial run)

Run it again to resume, or to retry what failed: packages already installed (those with a file list) are skipped. Make the image with the large /data first (Base QEMU images, section 2).

Remove everything:

qnx# cd /data/oss && for LIST_FILE in var/lib/manual/*.list; do
       while read -r FILE; do rm -f "$FILE"; done < "$LIST_FILE"; rm -f "$LIST_FILE"
     done

2. One package by hand

qnx# mkdir -p /data/oss/dl /data/oss/var/lib/manual && cd /data/oss/dl
qnx# curl -fsSL -o INDEX     $GH_RELEASES/packages-8.0-$ARCH/INDEX       # names 0-9, a-l
qnx# curl -fsSL -o INDEX-m-z $GH_RELEASES/packages-8.0-$ARCH-m-z/INDEX   # names m-z
qnx# grep -m1 '^curl|' INDEX | cut -d'|' -f3       # its dependencies: install them first, the same way

The five steps for one package (curl: its name starts with c, so INDEX and packages-8.0-$ARCH):

qnx# PKG=curl; INDEX_FILE=INDEX; RELEASE=packages-8.0-$ARCH   # m-z name: INDEX-m-z, packages-8.0-$ARCH-m-z
qnx# PKG_FILE=$(grep -m1 "^$PKG|" $INDEX_FILE | cut -d'|' -f4)
qnx# PKG_SHA256=$(grep -m1 "^$PKG|" $INDEX_FILE | cut -d'|' -f5)
qnx# curl -fsSLO $GH_RELEASES/$RELEASE/$PKG_FILE                           # 1. download
qnx# openssl dgst -sha256 $PKG_FILE; echo $PKG_SHA256                      # 2. the two must match
qnx# gzip -dc $PKG_FILE | tar -tf - | grep -v '/$' > /data/oss/var/lib/manual/$PKG.list   # 3. file list
qnx# gzip -dc $PKG_FILE | (cd /data/oss && tar -xf -)                      # 4. unpack
qnx# rm $PKG_FILE                                                          # 5. clean up
qnx# curl --version

-dev packages work the same way, by their own name (PKG=curl-dev). Remove a package:

qnx# cd /data/oss && while read -r FILE; do rm -f "$FILE"; done < var/lib/manual/curl.list
qnx# rm /data/oss/var/lib/manual/curl.list

3. After installing GTK programs

apk compiles GSettings schemas and the MIME database through triggers. Without apk, do it yourself after installing such packages:

qnx# glib-compile-schemas /usr/local/share/glib-2.0/schemas
qnx# update-mime-database /usr/local/share/mime

4. Run a package's test

The tests are archives too, in tests-8.0-<ARCH> (qnx-test-<name>, 0-9/a-l) and tests-8.0-<ARCH>-m-z (m-z, and the runner qnx-port-tests). Install qnx-port-tests and qnx-test-curl with the five steps, using those releases' INDEX. Then:

qnx# QNX_PORT_TESTS_VERBOSE=1 /usr/local/bin/qnx-port-tests/run-on-target.sh test_curl
