Cannot compile anything...

Ok, I downloaded QNX, burned the CD and installed it…Everything looks
great. Now I want to add a few applications that I use everyday. Problem
is I can’t compile any of them because the ./configure craps out with an
error message saying “cannot determine host type” or something
similar…Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks, in advance

A few points.

a) Many common tools are already ported. What are you looking for ?
b) This question might be more appropriate on the qdn group
qdn.public.qnxrtp.porting.
c) You probably do not have the latest config.sub and config.guess from GNU.

A version of the config.guess and config.sub that works with RTP
can be pulled from www.libsdl.org . just pull the archive for SDL
and copy the files.
Good Luck

Or install “libtool” from QNX Repository (or your cdrom), and
copy “/usr/share/libtoo/config.*” over.
