Did you run the \Utilities\QNXWinCleanup.exe after uninstalling QNX
Momentics 6.3.0 from your Windows host?
(The QNXWinCleanup.exe tool can be found in the QNX Momentics 6.3.2 install
CD for Windows host. The Release Notes for the tool are in the same
\Utilities folder).

If you have the time and a possibility of doing it you may want to try
either one of the following:

A.) Install QNX Momentics 6.3.2 on a clean Windows XP system and see if the
gcc 4.2.1 compiler will be listed in IDE 4.0.1 after dropping the following
zip files in the proper locations: win32-gcc-4.2.1.zip and
win32-binutils-2.17.zip

B.) Uninstall QNX Momentics 6.3.2 from your current installation, run the
above mentioned QNXWinCleanup.exe tool, make sure that there are no any QNX
leftovers (files, folders, etc.) on the machine and repeat A.

Just to let you know how I got gcc 4.2.1 listed while trying to reproduce
the issue on clean Windows XP system by implementing steps from A.):
- started IDE 4.0.1 from the desktop icon created as a result of QNX
Momentics 6.3.2 installation
- pointed to new workspace folder
- created new QNX C Project
- right click on the project and choose Properties
- QNX C/C++ Project
- Compiler
- Compiler type: GNU Compiler Collection (4.2.1)

Hope this info will help you!

Regards,
Yov

Hi Yov,

Thank you for looking into this.  See my responses below...

Windows XP.  I'm an admin on my computer.

Yes, I uninstalled QNX630 and patches (uninstalled the patches first).
After the uninstallation, I installed 6.3.2 and then downloaded GDB 6
binaries for x86 and PPC and copied those to the correct places (been using
it, so I think it is in the right place).

Then downloaded gcc 4.2.1 and followed the instructions.  They seem to be in
the right place as the new stuff follows the directory structure of the
default versions.

IDE 4.0.1

No, I rarely do figuring (maybe incorrectly) that the compression used would
complain if there was corruption.
