qansi-m terminal warning message - not fully functional

I am using QNX 6.3.2 Momentics installed on Windows host. I am building .ifs files for my x86 target through buildfiles.
 When I boot my image on my target machine and when I type (for example):

more /etc/services

I get a message:
WARNING: terminal is not fully functional.

and then after pressing "Enter" key, I can see the contents of my file.

Here is the relevant part from my buildfile:
#These env variables inherited by all the programs which follow
    SYSNAME=nto
    TERM=qansi-m
    devc-con-hid -n4 &
# START the main shell on console 1
    reopen /dev/con1
    [+session] esh &

I started with the standard bios.build file and modified it to my system requirements.

How do I get rid of the warning message? I have read "Building Embedded Systems" guide but I was not able to find 
anything which would solve this problem.

Thanks

Re: qansi-m terminal warning message - not fully functional

You need to have /usr/lib/terminfo/ present - specifically the 
/usr/lib/terminfo/q/qansi-m file

eg (in your build file)

/usr/lib/terminfo/q/qansi-m=/usr/lib/terminfo/q/qansi-m

Re: qansi-m terminal warning message - not fully functional

OK great. Understood why that warning message.

However, after including the line:
/usr/lib/terminfo/q/qansi-m=/usr/lib/terminfo/q/qansi-m
in my buildfile and then importing it in my IDE, I get the message:

*****************************************
The following host location could not be resolved:
/usr/lib/terminfo/q/qansi-m
We recommend you to check them.
*****************************************

The file, qansi-m, does exists on my WindowsXP host at:
C:\QNX632\target\qnx6\usr\lib\terminfo\q

Any ideas?

Re: qansi-m terminal warning message - not fully functional

You need to use the host path in your build file

eg

/usr/lib/terminfo/q=C:\QNX632\target\qnx6\usr\lib\terminfo\q

(I'm not sure about the dos style backslashes, you probably need to 
switch them for forward slashes)

Re: qansi-m terminal warning message - not fully functional

Yes, I thought about explicitly giving the host path as  you suggested however wouldn't that will make my file 
unportable (or less portable) to a Linux or a QNX host?

Re: qansi-m terminal warning message - not fully functional

Ok the following line makes the code portable and it works:
/usr/lib/terminfo/q/qansi-m=${QNX_TARGET}/usr/lib/terminfo/q/qansi-m

Thanks Colin for your help!
