People have setup the Watcom tool chain under MS to build QNX binaries.
I’m not familiar with the hoops they had to jump through in order to
do so – but at minimum it required purchasing Watcom for QNX from us
and having a compatible copy of Watcom for Windows from another source.
(I’d have said purchasing… but you can’t buy Watcom for MS anymore.)

watcom 10.5 for windows works fine i.e. if you have qnx4 libs
and includes you can freely build qnx4 executables withing win32
environment.
anyway, you need qnx4 related libraries and headers which are
included only in qnx4 watcom distribution. but wlink for all platforms
understands LMF format so you can use it under win16/32 os/2
and so on. tested

Personally, I develop in VC++ and then port the source to QNX. By
encapsulating the o/s-specific stuff in a single class (with #ifdef’ed
sections) I can compile and to an extent debug effectively under W2K. The
main difficulties are the lack of Watcom C++ compliance and STL, but it’s
nice to be able to take advantage of the VC++ IDE.

I recall being on the outside when a customer of mine
moved their QNX 4 development to NT. There was one problem
that a progammer spent a couple of weeks tracking down.
At some point in code generation the Windows system was
making some assumptions about one of the segment registers.
There was some compiler switch that fixed this. I wish I
could be less obtuse about this, but I thought that you
should be prepared.
