IDE4.6 and Qnx6.3.2  
Hi, all,
I'm just testing it and Qnx 6.4.1 (for now we have all apps under 6.3.2.
I've followed instructions to build a 6.3.2 apps using Ide4.6 )
Because I have to mantains some applications in 6.3.2 for a long time,
it should be nice to avoiding to restart each time the ide only  to select
the rigth target os.... 
May be the  OS target selection should be a project a property , 
instate of a whole IDE property...

Re: IDE4.6 and Qnx6.3.2  
Thank you for the suggestion Mario. I've noted it in our feature request list.
RE: IDE4.6 and Qnx6.3.2  
IDE needs to restart to load the correct documentation set for the
selected target O.S., but the restart process is not mandatory if you
only want to switch to different tool chain (gcc, make ...) and if you
are not bothered with loading the O.S. documents. You can select "No" to
the prompt about restarting workspace. You can continue to use the IDE
till a time comes when you need to restart then the correct
documentation set will be loaded.

I don't see it feasible to make the O.S. selection a per-project
setting. It's such a low level change that affects almost everything the
IDE runs so it should be left to be a per-workspace setting. A good
configuration management practice is to group projects using different
workspace and set the O.S. version accordingly.

Thanks,
Andy

Thank You all for answers,
Andy, I will test your hint  to use the configuration
tool to select the OS and just symulating to change the workspace:
for now I just only to speed up compile time.
Regarding your note about ws, I always works using many separated workspaces
to groups related projects, and in the most cases, the projects are only
referenced in the ws, not contained in it (So they can be opened in more
than one ws).

Just a note: If the OS environment cannot be a project property,
but it can be a workspace property, then when IDE open it the rigth
enviromnent and all related stuffs will be loaded at start up, rigth?
So it may be possible to run two different instances of IDE using two 
differents ws, every one with its OS version selection. 
That's should be enougth for most cases.

Thank You again,
M. Sangalli
RE: RE: IDE4.6 and Qnx6.3.2  
The O.S. environment settings is global because it affects how IDE finds the correct tool chain (make, gcc, gdb, etc.) 
and how IDE launches your program. Although it's not impossible to implement project level environment settings it would
 require re-architect the IDE.

Yes having two instances of IDE running and they using different O.S. environment settings will serve your purpose.

Thanks,
Andy
