Where and what changes do i need to make inorder to compile an
application on QNX. ./configure fails suggesting it did found unkown
host(QNX) in this case.
One of the URL’s on qdn.qnx.com suggested using automake and then
autoconf, but that did not help much.
Thanks for your help.

Try to install the “libtool” package from QNX repository.
Then copy “/usr/share/libtool/config.*” to your project directory,
and do a ./configure again.

Once you have the libtool package installed, try:
libtoolize --copy --force
Then ./configure

Get the new config.{guess,sub} from the master directory at gnu.

Where do these files belong? Do they go in the project directory, or can the go into something like /usr/local/lib ?

They go in your project directory, replacing the ones that were
originally there.

here is my 2 penny 
There are “autoconf” projects, which have those
files in subdirectories, so if one has subdirectories, he/she should
walk through all subdirectories and change all those
config.{guess,sub}…

If you are porting an application that uses configure.
You should use them instead of the one that comes with the applications.
Simply when the package was made, the config.{guess,sub} did not have
the bits that describe QNX platform.
: Do they go in the project directory, or can the go into something like /usr/local/lib ?
If you are making a package and you are using autoconf i.e. autoconfiscating
configure.in when you have the macros
AC_CANONICAL_HOST' AC_CHECK_TOOL’
will make autoconf put in your package config.{sub,guess}/
Then you should put the new files where ever you install the autoconf sensitive
files. it is usually /usr/local/share/automake.
The config.{sub,guess} files are no longer maintain by of autoconf nor automake
nor libtool, although they all come with a version. Since config.guess
and .sub change so rapidily, they are instead maintain at a central
place ftp.gnu.org/gnu/config/ and mirrors where they are updated every
so often.

I tried to find the “libtool” package referenced below in QNX’s web site
but couldn’t find it. Could someone tell me where it is??

open pkg manager … connect to “www repository” & find “libtool” …
