Recommendation
________________________________________________________________________
Many third party source is distributed in a tarball with a configure script to set OS specific environments. To configure such a source for QNX the --host=<OS> option with one of the following <OS> lines should be used after the environment has been set properly.
o QNX650
X86: i486-pc-nto-qnx6.5.0
ARM: arm-unknown-nto-qnx6.5.0
PPCBE: powerpc-unknown-nto-qnx6.5.0
MIPS: mips-unknown-nto-qnx6.5.0
SH4: sh-unknown-nto-qnx6.5.0
o QNX660
ARMv7: arm-unknown-nto-qnx6.6.0eabi
x86: i486-pc-nto-qnx6.6.0
Caveat: the other options of the configure script need to be taken into account as well. So it is recommended to first run './configure --help' to see if other options should be set.
For example: to configure for an ARMv7 target running QNX660 the script should be called like this:
./configure --host=arm-unknown-nto-qnx6.6.0eabi
The script should now find the correct compiler, linker etc on its own and build the proper binary.
