Here's the buildfile for .boot on an x86 platform, qnxbasedma.build.
# # The buildfile for QNX Neutrino booting on a PC # [virtual=x86,bios +compress] boot = { # Reserve 64 KB of video memory to handle multiple video cards. startup-bios -s64k # PATH is the *safe* path for executables # (confstr(_CS_PATH...)) # LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the *safe* path for libraries # (confstr(_CS_LIBPATH)) i.e., This is the path searched # for libs in setuid/setgid executables.
