Does QNX support cross developing from Linux?
How do I build a Cross-compiler, cross-assempler etc. on Linux to
compile programs that will run on QRtP / Neutrino?
Is it possible?

No, we support windows and solaris as hosts.

I don’t think it is.

Actually it is possible, but it’s a bit of a chore. You’ll need the headers
and libs from QNX6.1.
Why not port your favorite editor/IDE to QNX? I think you’ll get more
milage out of this effort.

I don’t think that I can port matlab6 to qnx…
The problem is to make matlab real-time workshop generates a qnx
executable, and we use matlab6 for linux.

Isn’t it possible to make Simulink Realtime Workshop (which I assume you refer to)
to generate platform independent, “general” C code? Then you’d not need any
libraries at all, i.e. you can compile it in almost any OS.
We generate C code for QNX from the similar Autocode product from
ISI in this way. We have made code generation templates to make the code fit into
our QNX environment. The math core of the code doesn’t need to be changed, only
the I/O to the rest of the world, process/thread control and similar.
Some 90% of the code in our control systems are automatically generated.

It isn’t a problem; we can write some tmf and tlc files to generate QNX C
code. (we already do this for rtlinux)

Well, but where do you compile the C code for QNX?
We must generate C code for QNX (using matlab6), and then we must compile it
on the same platform (in this case linux); the last step is to send the QNX
executable from linux to QNX.
So we need a QNX compiler under linux, we can’t compile the C code,
generated by matlab, directly on QNX platform.

Aha, no, we download the generated code to a QNX computer and compile it there.
Isn’t that a working solution for you?

Unfortunately no.
We can’t download QNX C code to QNX platform, we must download the
executable only.
I read in http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc_4.html#SEC58 how to build a
cross compiler: It seems to be possible, but I have never made it before so
I’m not sure.
BTW I dowloaded gcc-2.95.2-qnx.tgz, binutils-2.9.1-qnx.tgz and nto-g++.tgz
from ftp.qnx.com and I hope to success.

Hi…
I wonder, you can download the source code to another qnx machine (i.e.
every one has a laptop nowadays), compile, and then download the exec to
your QNX box (you can do this at the airport while waiting for your
delayed flight, for example 
. There is an extra step, but it is an
easy one.
Bests…
