I've just started using QNX 6.5 as my development environment. Prior to this, I was using QNX 6.3.2.
My usual development environment consisted of an X11 server running on my host OS with phinx running in my QNX VM,
giving me a photon GUI in a window on the host. In addition, I ran gvim, forwarding to another window on the host.
In QNX 6.5 I have found that, of all the vim- packages, only vim-xaw actually appears to support gvim (vim-gtk, vim-
photon are both compiled with -X11, not +X11?!).
Further, when trying to run gvim (from package vim-xaw), it bails out saying "Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
". I've tried installing all manner of fonts, x11 and xorg packages from pkgsrc and nothing seems to work.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a fix or something obvious I'm missing?
Thanks in advance,
James

vim-gtk2 works for me. Self hosted X. No photon.

Sorry, is that vim-gtk, installed with pkgsrc. or did you just build vim from source?
If you built it from source, could you elaborate just a little on the arguments you passed to ./configure, and which
libraries you had installed? I have been able to build vim with photon support now, but it doesn't quite fit the bill
the same way as gvim in X11 did..
Thanks!

I'm using vim-gtk2. I built it from source using pkgsrc which takes
care of the pre-requisites.

Instead of using phinx, have you tried running phindows under WINE? It
works quite well. I assume your host system is some sort of linux that
supports WINE.

Re: RE: gvim in qnx 6.5.0
Actually, my host is OS X.. if I was using Linux, I would probably just install the Linux SDP and cross-compile..
I'm not having much luck with vim-gtk2 using pkgsrc - I installed pkgsrc from the qnx bootstrap, not really sure how to
configure it to grab packages from source..

As long as you have network connectivity you just run 'bmake' which
comes from the bootstrap:
# cd misc/figlet && bmake
The Makefile under each package specifies where to download the
source from.

pkgsrc is making me feel stupid.. A few issues I've run into
* I don't have e.g. misc/figlet - I don't think the "distfiles" tree comes with the bootstrap. What is the best way to
get it if I've used bootstrap? Or should I just can /usr/pkg and start from scratch with the current pkgsrc sources?
* Aside from the above issue, I tried using bmake in e.g. misc/figlet from the pkgsrc-current sources and it gave me
some peculiar errors and failed very quickly
* I also tried compiling pkgsrc 2010Q2 sources, this bombed out a little bit after building bmake and the "compat"
library
In short, I've been very happy with installing binary packages but have had no luck with building anything from source.
The documentation for pkgsrc doesn't really help me get very far. Is there a good post / howto guide somewhere that
I've missed?
Cheers,
James

Re: RE: gvim in qnx 6.5.0
So, if I do a fresh install of QNX 6.5.0 (latest SDP image from the QNX website), check out the latest HEAD_650/pkgsrc
and bootstrap it, that should work? Because I don't get very far at all (bmake of a GCC 2.95.2 package fails, that's
the furthest I have gotten).
Or is QNX 6.5.0 / HEAD_650 not really ready for general use?
P.S. I end up symlinking /usr/local/bin/qcc to `which gcc`, otherwise the bootstrap bombs out very, very early (stating
gcc cannot create executables). Is this normal? Is there a cleaner approach?

Yes. It shouldn't be making gcc 2.95.2. If it's trying to do that it's
failed already. This is on a self hosted system right?

Yes.

You shouldn't have to do that. But there's no /usr/local/bin/qcc in 6.5
AFAIK so something else must be up.

Re: RE: gvim in qnx 6.5.0
Ok, with a fresh install it does work. Once I put my .profile, .kshrc and various qnx630 stuff in the VM (/usr/qnx630,
630 config in /etc/qnx/qconfig, etc), bmake starts breaking very early, failing to even compile the test c program.
It seems like the 6.5.0 linker is being run, but points to the crt1.lib in the qnx630 host/target directory. So if I
have that directory present, it fails a bit later trying to run a 6.3.0 linker, if it's not present then the 6.5.0
linker fails looking for the 6.3.0 library.
I'm very keen to have 6.3.0 as a build target, at least until our company ports everything to 6.5.0, so I will have to
figure out what is changing that causes the issue.
Thanks for all the help,
James

Re: RE: gvim in qnx 6.5.0
I ended up getting it to work with a fresh 6.5 install. Turns out that dropping /usr/qnx630 on there didn't help much
and exporting QNX_HOST, QNX_TARGET definitely didn't help at all.
Thanks again,
James
