Multimedia Suite   
Hi

I have a laptop with QNX 6.3 installed on it. I need to install the multimedia suite on it as part of my final year 
project work. I found out that the multimedia source code can be built, but that is only on QNX 6.4 and higher. However,
 QNX 6.4 does not have the IDE for the Neutrino Hosts and the media player, which I require for the project. What is the
 best way to sort out this problem? 

Thanks,
Nishchal

If I recall, the requirements for 6.4+ come from a few items in io-media that
need newer libc and libasound.

I don't believe there are tags associated with the source on the foundry so
there isn't a stamp/tag that you could checkout from before these changes were
applied.

An alternate approach could be asking in the IDE fourm about steps to install
the current IDE on self hosted. I think that can be done but was an unsupported
configuration.

Hi Peter

Thanks for replying. So is there no chance that I can build the source code multimedia source code on QNX 6.3?

Thanks

I don't have a system setup to confirm this, but my best guess is that the
majority of it should build for you. I think there are a few items within 
the lib/mmedia portition of the tree that are going to give you a few issues
with some unresolved symbols.

The best way is to try and report back the problems as you come across them 
here. I can see if I can help offer work arounds.

I was able to build on 6.3.2 by adding Makefile.dnm in different bits in pieces that didn't compile. A lot of the things
 that wont build are things you probably don't need.
