I’m trying to port photon applications from qnx4.25 to qnx6.3, so i can use
photon application builder to build screen and using IDE to edit codes,
however,
if i use ‘application builder’ to open it, then tried to use IDE to open the
project, i got an error message ‘project description file is missing’.
if within IDE, i use ‘new->project->photon appbuilder project’ to create the
project, then when i tried to open it using ‘application builder’, nothing
happens.
so what’s the correct procedure of porting photon applications from qnx4.25
to qnx6.3, so i can use photon application builder to build screen and using
IDE to edit codes ???

The short answer is that, if you want to work with a PhAB project in the
IDE, you need to start PhAB from within the IDE. There is a button in
the IDE toolbar that launches PhAB, and this button is enabled when you
open a PhAB project in the IDE. To do what you want to do, first create
a PhAB project within the IDE. Next, import the source files from the
QNX 4.25 application into the PhAB IDE project. If you did not use PhAB
in QNX 4.25 to build the GUI parts of your application, you will need to
create those from scratch in the copy of PhAB you launch from within the
IDE.
i see a button on the toolbar between ‘Build All’ and ‘New c/c++ project’, i
belive that’s the one to launch PHAB,. but that is greyed out, how do i make
it active instead of being greyed out?

In the C/C++ or Navigator view, expand your project and click on the
“src” or “wgt” folder icon (or on a file included in those folders);
“Open Appbuilder” should toggle to enabled.

In the Navigator view, select a project. If the project is open (there
is a + sign to the left of the project name) and if the project is a
PhAB project, the button to launch PhAB will become active.
