Installing this patch

1. If you're using QNX SDP 6.5.0 SP1, log in as root (or with administrator privileges on Windows). If you're using QNX SDP 6.6, log in as the user who installed QNX SDP.
2. On Windows hosts, run cmd.exe; on Linux or QNX Neutrino hosts, start a command shell.
3. If you're using QNX SDP 6.6, set up your environment:
   • On Windows hosts, run:

     base_directory\qnx660-env.bat

   • On Linux hosts, run:

     source base_directory/qnx660-env.sh

   where base_directory is where you installed QNX SDP 6.6.

4. Download the patch-660-4600-QnxVoice.tar archive to your host environment.
5. Verify that the patch's checksum matches the one given on our website.
6. Use the applypatch utility to install the patch:
   • If you're using QNX SDP 6.5 on Linux hosts (such as Ubuntu) that use sudo, you must specify the -E option to preserve the environment. In this case, the PATH environment variable is set to a safe one for security reasons, so you need to specify the full path to the utility:

     sudo -E $QNX_HOST/usr/bin/applypatch download_path/patch-660-4600-QnxVoice.tar
         

   • On other hosts, type:

     applypatch download_path/patch-660-4600-QnxVoice.tar
         

   where download_path is the location of the patch file. For more information about applypatch, see its entry in the Utilities Reference.
