Yes.
3 years ago I successfully installed rsync 2.4.6 on QNX4;
IIRC the following was sufficient

./configure
make

I used the GCC from J.C. Michot (http://www.jcmichot.usenet-fr.net/gcc/),
not the Watcom compiler, though.

Thanks for the reply. I tried using rsync 2.6.3 (the current version)
and GCC, and it wouldn’t complete the ./configure.

FYI, I see on the rsync website that there are security adviseries on
pre-2.6.3 versions of rsync.

Where did it fail?
Just tried to install 2.6.3 myself here; ./configure completed without
problems (but I had to tweak flist.c to make it compile with TCP v5)

Yes, but since I used rsync only on a closed network, I really didn’t care
that much…
