Simple project question  
I've installed the QNX Momentics IDE on my windows xp laptop and am trying to compile and link my source code C++ and 
run this on the Momentics QNX target IDE that comes with the install.  I have some questions:

1-I need to build a C++ library first in order to compile my C++ source code.  is it possible to compile my C++ library 
source code on the QNX target RTOS that comes with the Momentics IDE?  The library has unix scripts that should work if 
I can do this.   If not can I use the QNX Momentics CD as a bootable disk and setup QNX on VMWare on my laptop or on 
another server?  

2-how do I start the qconn process on the target QNX target RTOS that comes with the Momentics IDE?  I see that there is
 a target QNX RTOS there under the folder: D:\QNX632\target\qnx6.  I need to start the qconn process so that I can 
connect my project to the target RTOS to run the binary on this target system.

3-How do I execute the commands that I see on the QNX target RTOS that comes with momentics?  I tried phindows to my 
laptop and it won't connect.

Sorry about the simple questions but I'm very new to QNX..

Thanks for any help.

You can build library on the same Windows machine with qnx tools which 
use cross-platform compilers.

qconn process should be started on target. You need to create os image 
and load it on the target or just install momentics for neutrino from cd 
on the vmware vm.

You cannot execute them on your laptop (assuming it is Windows). 
"target" directory contains files that required to build an OS image. 
Use instructions from step 2.

There is online documentation. There is very good tutorial: Ten steps to 
your first qnx program 
(http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.3.2/momentics/quickstart/about.html)

Re: Simple project question  
OK I'm going to boot into QNX momentics for neutrino with VMWare and see if  I can compile my source code into the 
library I need on QNX.

Thanks
