2 Easy Questions

I’m currently pondering over QNX since I found out it was a free download
for non-comm use. I’ve got quite a bit of experience messing around with
Linux (on a few different platforms) but I have a couple of questions about
QNX that should be easy to answer, but I can’t figure it out by looking at
the
website.

  1. I noticed the nifty IDE that QNX has available, but does it come with
    it’s own C compiler, or do I (somehow) interface my own compiler with the
    QNX IDE and QNX libraries?

  2. This is probably really dumb, but is the source made available?

TIA

The IDE is using the eclipse IDE framework, which is opensource.

www.eclipse.org
The ‘QNX IDE’ has a set of QNX specific plugins which are not free.
QNX 6 uses gcc.
