Build variant PPC (Big Endian SPE)  
Hello,

I get a problem when using the IDE  4.6.0 (QNX 6.4.1 including now the new variant for PPC BE SPE) when I try to setup a
 new "QNX System Builder Project". Then I select "Create Generic" and select "ppcspe". When the project was create if 
now I tried to add new binaries for example in this project the list is empty. If I do the same with for example ppcbe 
and try to include new binaries I get a list of files from $QNX_TARGET/ppcbe/...

In the image properties I can see that the "CPU Type" was set to "ppcspe" and if I look in the directory $QNX_TARGET/ 
there is no ppcspe directory but a ppcbe-spe.

For a test only I rename the directory $QNX_TARGET/ppcbe-spe to $QNX_TARGET/ppcspe and then the list of binaries was 
there.

After doing all these changes I can build and use the image.

Is there someone else with experiences with this issue?

Thank you,
Christophe

Hi, Christophe,

This is almost certainly a bug in the IDE.  I shall raise it internally
in our tracking system and report back when I have an update.

Cheers,

Christian
