Update tool chain in QNX6.5.0   
Hello,

Is there a possibility to keep the same environment but update only the gcc compiler that comes with the tool chain? I 
am using 4.4.2, and would like to update it to 4.6.

Thanks,

-Zahira

Yes. Download the appropriate gcc package for your host, and extract it 
into your root QNX directory (e.g. /opt/qnx650, C:/QNX650, etc).

Just to make sure.  I`m assuming this still not an official release?

It's as official as an foundry release is ever going to get. :)

Re: Update tool chain in QNX6.5.0   
Ryan,

What is the right gcc package?
In the Core Development Tools under File Releases > GCC > GCC4.6 there are several packages. 
I am looking for a Linux version. I am assuming that what I need is linux-gcc-4.6.2.tar.gz. When I extracted this 
package I don't seem to get all the include files. For example <string.h> doesn't seem to be there? I am in the right 
place?
Also what are the nto-gcc... packages?
Thanks,

-Zahira

Re: Update tool chain in QNX6.5.0   
Yes those are the right packages. If you are using a linux host then download the linux-gcc-4.6.2.tar.gz. string.h isn't
 part of gcc. It is part of libc that's part of 6.5.0 

The nto-gcc-4.6.2.tar.gz packages are for self hosted x86 machines.

RE: Update tool chain in QNX6.5.0   
Ryan,

I am therefore missing something.
To get to use the new tool chain, I wanted to replace my "target" directory under /opt/qnx650 by the new target in the 
linux package mentioned below, and do the same with the host directory. That wouldn't work because these new target and 
host directories don't seem to contain everything? 
Thanks,

-Zahira

It's not a replacement to your "target" directory, you extract it over 
top of the existing 6.5.0. You're confusing the toolchain with the OS.

Ok. Got it. Thanks.
Now I am less confused :-)
