Typical development cycle
Many developers may want to have their QNX 6 target machine act as an NFS or
CIFS
client; this is certainly possible.
Using this scheme, you can set up a QNX 4 development system and a QNX 6
target
system that has access to the QNX 4 files. With two machines side-by-side, a
typical development cycle becomes:
From the QNX 4 machine:
Edit, Compile, Link.
From the QNX 6 machine:
Run.
Does this mean that I can build my application on QNX 4 machine and
then run it on QNX6 one?
I thought that excutable files built on QNX4 could not be run on QNX6.
If anyone could clarify this “typical development cycle” above I’d greatly
appreciate this.

Originally the QNX6 environment was QNX 4. This was using the Watcom
compiler. I don’t think that this is supported anymore. Note that the
QNX 4 and QNX 6 file systems are the same.

From memory it wasn’t using Watcom it was using GCC.

Then your memory doesn’t stretch far enough back, Mario. I started with
the 0.3 beta, and that was definitely Watcom

Neither do I. I could not find any references about watcom for qnx6.
Note that the QNX 4 and QNX 6 file systems are the same.
But It does not mean that the format of exe files is the same for QNX4 and
6.
Actually, it’s strange I could not find any information about it in
development
database. So, if someone can give me any hint what format of exe files is
supported by qnx6 and/or 4 it would be quite interestiong. Is it ELF or COFF
or something propietary?

QNX4 used it’s own LMF format, but QNX6 uses standard ELF.

I start with 1.0 beta. Did this version used Watcom or GCC??. I don’t
recall using watcom with 1.0
