CYGWIN

Hello,

I am new to QNX; also, my job requires use of Windows XP and Visual Studio.
I am putting a development system together on a Toshiba laptop and would
like to avoid rebooting to perform a simple code change and rebuild a QNX
executable. The device that uses QNX is talking to the Windows device and I
am developing on both sides for communications.

CYGWIN was discussed in some Linux forums and I am wondering, if I use the
right process, can I make a QNX executable under CYGWIN?

I realize that QNX booted natively would be far superior, so if anyone knows
how to make a Windows executable under QNX, that would be fine too.

Regards,

Hello,

AFAIK you can use CYGWIN library to run GNU programs (recompiled) in Windows. I believe you’re
looking for cross-development suit. Contact your sales rep. for cross development toolkit (they
have for Windows and Solaris, AFAIK).
Best regards,

Eduard.
