To write Qt applications, you must install the Qt runtime and Qt Creator IDE and then configure the IDE to use
our build tools and to target applications to a QNX device.
The host system is the machine where you develop apps, which can be a Windows or a Linux machine.
The target system is the machine where you run the apps. In the QNX Qt development environment, the target
is a hardware board running QNX Apps and Media.
Before you can configure your host system to support Qt apps, you must have the following:
-
An installation of QNX SDP 6.6 on your host system. By default, this platform is installed to
C:\qnx660 on Windows and /usr/qnx660 on Linux.
We refer to this installation location as DEFAULT_SDP_PATH throughout this document.
- An installation of QNX SDK for Apps and Media 1.1 on your host system.
This latter platform depends on some critical SDP patches that fix key subsystems (e.g., audio, graphics);
the list of required patches is given in the platform's Installation Note.
- A target system running QNX Apps and Media 1.1 that's connected to the same network as the host system and that
has a valid IP address.
