What's new?#

  • Save the downloaded ".zip" file to a temporary directory, use your favorite unzip program to extract the zip file. Sample unzip programs include "Winzip" on Windows and "unzip" command on Linux.
  • Extract the zip file content. It will create a "eclipse" folder and the top level directory.
  • On Linux, make sure the "$QNX_HOST/usr/bin" is at the beginning of the $PATH environment variable. This can be inspected by issuing this command in a shell:
    • echo $PATH
  • On Linux, start a shell and set the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" by issuing this command:
    • export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QNX_HOST/usr/bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Run the "eclipse/qde" executable to launch the IDE
  • On Windows, make sure the "%QNX_HOST%\usr\bin" is included in the %PATH% environment variable. This can be inspected by issuing this command in a Windows command prompt:
