Installation procedure

---

This is a specially packaged patch; don't use applypatch to install it.

---

1. Log in with administrator privileges.
2. Download the patch-632-1852-QWALive.tar archive to your host environment.
3. Determine the base directory of your QNX Momentics installation by opening a command shell and using the qconfig command. For example:

   C:\>qconfig
   QNX Installations
    
     Installation Name: QNX Software Development Platform 6.4.0
               Version: 6.4.0
        Base Directory: C:/QNX640/
              QNX_HOST: C:/QNX640/host/win32/x86/
            QNX_TARGET: C:/QNX640/target/qnx6/

   The base directory in this example is C:/QNX640/, but it could be different on your machine, depending on where you installed QNX Momentics or QNX SDP.

4. Extract the archive you downloaded into the base directory:
   1. Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and switch to the drive indicated in the base directory that you found earlier (e.g. C:).
   2. Copy the archive to your base directory, replacing base_dir with the path you found earlier:

      copy drive:\patch-632-1852-QWALive.tar base_dir

   3. Use the following commands to extract the archive contents. Don't specify the drive letter in the archive path:

      cd base_dir
      tar -xvf patch-632-1852-QWALive.tar

Structure of a patch

The patch is installed in the base_dir/patches/632-1852/ directory. This directory includes:

version

Includes the patch number and the build information.

manifest

Contains the checksums of the files shipped in the patch (as generated by the cksum utility).

shiplist

A list of the files included in the patch.

QWALive

A directory containing the executable and documentation for QWALive.

Applying the patch

Next, you must replace the files on your development host with the patched files.

---

Since this is a destructive procedure, we recommend that you create a backup of the affected files.

---

1. From the cmd.exe prompt, run ksh.
2. Go to the directory that holds the QWALive directory:

   cd base_dir/install/qnxaviage-ap/1.3

   where base_dir is where you installed QNX Momentics or QNX SDP.

3. Make a backup of the files that will be overwritten:

   pax -w < base_dir/patches/632-1852/shiplist > base_dir/patches/632-1852-backup.tar

   You can use whatever name you like for the backup archive. The pax utility might display some error messages when it attempts to back up nonexistent files for host operating systems other than the one you're using. You can ignore these messages.

4. Go to the patch directory:

   cd base_dir/patches/632-1852

5. Install the updates:

   cp -Rp QWALive base_dir/install/qnxaviage-ap/1.3/.
