For the most part, the IDE is just sitting on top of your custom
build file functionality. If you want to tie yourself to the IDE
then I would suggest that you look at the Managed Makefile type
of project. This project allows different project and build
configurations that use different toolchains. It solves a problem
similar to the QNX Makefiles, but in an IDE specific manner. The
Managed Makefile project is a standard part of the Eclipse CDT.
For the command line, the closest thing to a "standard" would be to
use a "configure/make" style build, which can be incorporated into
a QNX makefile structure (see the QNX Programmer's Guide in the
makefile appendix for more details ... or look at the OS source for
something like ports/tar).
Of course, if the software is going to run under Neutrino and Linux,
then you should already have the Neutrino dev environment installed!
Nobody would want to only build the software for Linux I'm sure =;-)

Hope this helps,
