I just installed QNXRTP on my Win 98 computer. It worked just fine until I
tried to compile my first “hello world” program. I could not find gcc or
any other compiler.
What have I missed in the installation process?

Nothing. Most likely, what you installed, is what we call
“base system”. You have options to install Addition Packages
like “development package”. You do that by starting your
“Package Mgr” and point it to the right repository.

Well, you would think that GCC would indeed be installed by default, but it
isn’t. What you need to do is run package manager to install both GCC and
the X86 target files (This is important!). Once the package manager loads,
insert your QNX RTP CD-ROM and then tell it to ‘view CD-ROM repository’.
After it scans the CD for a little while, select QNX software (or something
like that but don’t choose public software). Then select the development
‘tab’ from the package manager and you will see three packages for C/C++
tools. Check the boxes next to the items on the right side of the screen so
that it will install them. Once you’ve done this, just click the install
button and wait for it to finish. One of the three packages installs the X86
target files, I accidentally didn’t do this at first and had a lot of
problems with GCC generating strange error messages. Hope that helps.
