editor support for QNX 6.4   
Hi.
Not sure if this is this place to ask this question.
I’m trying out QNX 6.4, self hosted, photon.
I need to get a syntax highlight editor(s) for c.
What are my options? Where can I get them from?
TIA

There is vim/gvim I believe or workspace or like QNX wants you to do, switch to Linux or Windows and use Eclipse.  I 
mean you paid for Momentic, right.  Oh no sorry you paid for it but you can't use it on self hosted, my bad...

Hum on 6.4 don't know.  I installed it on 6.3.2 via the third party CD, don't know how you would install it in QNX6.4.0.
  Maybe it's in the pkgsrc?

Just try taking the gvim I have on 6.3.2 ( version 6.1) and copy the binary on 6.4.0 and it works!  But if memory serves
 me right it has problem with color?

I got gvim going on the HEAD_641 branch in a new vim-photon
package.  Here's the diff that you can try backporting to
the HEAD_640 branch if you're feeling adventurous.

Re: RE: editor support for QNX 6.4   
It should run without issue on 6.4, if you have gtk installed. I don't have
a neutrino install up at the moment so I can't answer with absolute
certainty. GVim is just a GUI for Vim, which you can obtain from
www.vim.org (I used version 7.1); to compile gvim, you'll have to look at
the options under ./configure --help (there are a plethora of UI options,
one of them is for a GTK user interface, which is GVim)

It's not there unless you installed it.  If I were
to install it I'd use pkgsrc:

http://community.qnx.com/sf/projects/pkgsrc

Installing binary packages is described here:

http://community.qnx.com/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.pkgsrc/wiki/BinaryPackages

The gtk+ binary package is here:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/QNX/i386/6.4.0_head_20081005/All/gtk+-1.2.10nb9.tgz

To check if it's installed I'd use the 'pkg_info' utility.

If you're talking about pkgsrc I wouldn't modify the
steps; just follow them as outlined here:

http://community.qnx.com/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.pkgsrc/wiki/BinaryPackages

If you have a specific question, fire away...

As mentioned in the aforementioned link:

# export PATH=$PATH:/usr/pkg/bin:/usr/pkg/sbin
# setconf CS_LIBPATH $(getconf CS_LIBPATH):/usr/pkg/lib
# mkdir /var/tmp
# export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/QNX/i386/6.4.0_head_20081005/All

gvim I dunno.  Plain vim works.  But enjoy your gtk+ :)

Try starting vim with -g ( not sure of the option), if it was build with graphical support in it should work.

Looks like this is supposed to be in the vim-gtk package but the
FEAT_GUI_PHOTON support has rotted.

Re: editor support for QNX 6.4   
You can't go wrong with vim (provided you have syntax highlighting enabled
in your vimrc),
or *shudders* emacs.
I know that vim will compile under neutrino, IIRC there was some
configuration hacking, but it shouldn't be difficult.
I do believe there are also editors under the pkgsrc project that will suit
your needs as well.

Hope this helps, feel free to write back if you need more information.
Cheers,

Come on Aaron; vim, what??? A non GUI editor, that's almost as bad and old-fashion as self-hosted itself.  You can't 
seriously recommend one of the most efficient editor over a nice looking editor with graphical menus and stuff???

RE: editor support for QNX 6.4   
You know Mario, I'm not sure if you're trying to be sarcastic, or not.
Vim is nice, it's all i ever used when I was at QNX; There are the gui
versions though, like GVim, or Vim/Cream.
