I don't know if this is the same, but if this applies
why is there the config available in
Window -> preferences -> QNX
where you can choose one of your configured installations?

I think this issue is rather confusing here after we upgraded to 6.4.0 *everybody* got bitten by this.   It would be 
great if the selection of environment could be part of the project definition.

I disagree completely.  I don't rely on PATH entries to properly resolve my
tool configurations.   That is the whole reason for the QNX_HOST/TARGET
creation in the first place ... it provides a mechanism by which I can 
create a
build system that uses the appropriate (ie matching) suite of QNX provided
SDK tools.

Since the IDE allows the 'switching' of environments, then I would 
expect that
if I do all of my work within the IDE environment that I can rely on the 
behaviour
to change as appropriate (in this case, setting the QNX_HOST/TARGET 
environment
variables).

In discussions with Alex C. it seems that there is indeed a bug with the 
propagation of
the appropriate environment variables (that I _think_ he has since fixed 
... but it hasn't
been released yet).
