Re: C Project vs. QNX C Proj
Gossips about regular make project passing away could not be confirmed
by any reliable source :-) You still can create it using C or C++
wizard. Having on your screen the first wizard panel, select in the left
tree Makefile project and Empty project. THen on the right panel select
QNX QCC toolchain and press finish. You can also press Next instead of
Finish and in the following panel press button Advanced Setting, then
select C/C++ Build and pre-set build target properties and and other
parameters. This is almost the same as Set QNX Environment action in
oprevious release. It can be also done later via properties dialog.
Anyway finally you'll get new empty regular make project. Unfortunately,
we were very limited now by CDT 4 as well as in tyme and work force, so
I'm not very happy with this solution. However, I'm sure that wewill
improve usability dramaticallyt in the next release.
I know for sure that the question about MBS and QNX builders whas been
already addressed in this forum by Elena, but I was unlucky trying to
find this thread. Briefly, MBS and QNXp projects are both managed
projects. QNX project as you can see from its name is QNX oriented and
based on recoursive make files (which means it to be very useful for
multi-platform defelopment). I would mention two features of MBS build
system: First, it's its flexibility: it can be used for various tool
chains (QNX supports only qcc and intel) if appropriate toolchain
definition added to xml descripting file). Second, beside make-based
builder MBS has its own internal builder which in perspective (not now,
don't be afraid) should completely replace make builder. However, in my
opinion (and not only my) it is too early to do it
Don't hesitate to ask more if it is "too brief" for you.
Regards,
Alex
