QNX Toolkit for Visual Studio Code
This User's Guide describes the QNX Toolkit for Visual Studio Code. The guide introduces you to the QNX Toolkit by explaining the QNX development environment and how to build, run, and debug your QNX OS applications and systems.
Developing QNX Projects
To use the QNX Toolkit to write applications targeted for QNX OS systems, you must define projects, which are folders in the filesystem. A VS Code workspace is a collection of these folders and VS Code settings defined by the .code-workspace file. QNX projects are saved to a folder defined in a your configuration (default location is ~/qnxprojects).

Developing QNX Projects

Updated: November 27, 2023

To use the QNX Toolkit to write applications targeted for QNX OS systems, you must define projects, which are folders in the filesystem. A VS Code workspace is a collection of these folders and VS Code settings defined by the .code-workspace file. QNX projects are saved to a folder defined in a your configuration (default location is ~/qnxprojects).

The QNX Toolkit contains wizards for creating projects based on specific programming languages. This guide discusses QNX projects, which support C or C++ programs on multiple processors, with standard or recursive makefiles.

The steps which follow demonstrate how to create new projects or configure previously created projects. Go to Creating a project for details.
