This chapter includes the following:

If you've already installed an evaluation version of QNX SDP 6.5.0, and you've purchased and received a commercial QNX license, please go to “Commercializing your evaluation software,” below. |
Host OS:
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | Pentium III, 700 MHz | Pentium 4, 2 GHz or more |
| RAM | 256 MBa | 512 MBa |
| Disk space | 2.5 GBa | 3.4 GBa |
| Monitor | 1024×768 | 1280×1024 |
a Windows Vista requires an additional 512 MB of available RAM and disk space.
The System Profiler in the IDE requires a minimum color depth of 16 bits.
|
In order to install QNX SDP, the QNX license file must be writable by everyone. If the installer stops and warns you that this file isn't writable, you can make it so by right-clicking on C:\Program Files\QNX Software Systems\license and choosing Properties. Make sure that the “Read-only” attribute isn't checked, click Apply, and then click OK. (Ref# 62419) |
To install QNX SDP 6.5.0, do the following:
|
Java's AWT and Swing aren't supported in 16-color mode; they require a
minimum of 256 colors.
If you get a message, “Unable to run in graphical mode,”
run the installer in console mode, by typing this in a DOS prompt window:
drive:\qnxsdp-6.5.0-nnnnnnnnnnnn-win32.exe -console where drive is the drive letter for your DVD drive, and nnnnnnnnnnnn is the appropriate build number. |
The installer will also ask if you wish to install a package of GNU Public License programs, such as tar and sed. We recommend that you do so for development machines.
If QNX Software Systems has a contract with you to support server-based licenses (Automated License Management), you have a special license key that tells the software to enforce these licenses. In this case, the installer presents a panel where you can specify the hostname or IP address of the server, and the port on which the server is listening for connections. If you're using the default port, you can leave the port blank.
Your desktop should now include an icon for the QNX Momentics IDE 4.7.
|
If you install 6.5.0, and you then install 6.3.2, you need to move the cleanup utility QNXWinCleanup.exe from $QNX_HOST to C:\WINDOWS. (Ref# 56879) |
The QNX Momentics Tool Suite and certain related products require activation. If you don't activate the product within the specified timeframe, the product will cease to function until you activate it. No personal data is transferred during the activation process. If your license key indicates that you have a “named user” license, the activation requires that you provide an email address.
If your development host is connected to the Internet, you can activate QNX SDP automatically.
If your machine isn't connected to the Internet, you must activate your software manually from a machine that is, by doing the following:
The Manual Activation dialog appears with an activate-prompt key. This dialog has a button that you can use to save the activate-prompt key in the file:
drive:\Program Files\QNX Software Systems\license\activate_prompt_key.txt
where drive is the name of the drive where you installed QNX SDP. This can eliminate the need to retype the key, which can be error-prone.
drive:\Program Files\QNX Software Systems\license\activate_response_key.txt
on your QNX SDP development host.
drive:\Program Files\QNX Software Systems\bin\qnxactivate -a
If you choose not to activate at the time of installation, you can activate later by selecting from the Start menu, or by entering the following at the command prompt:
drive:\Program Files\QNX Software Systems\bin\qnxactivate -a
where drive is the name of the drive where you installed QNX SDP.
If you installed an evaluation copy of QNX SDP 6.5.0, and you've now received a commercial QNX license, do the following to add your commercial license:
base_directory\install\qnxsdp\6.5.0\AddLicense.exe
where base_directory is where you installed QNX SDP (see “Determining your base directory,” below).
|
You should uninstall QNX products in the reverse order in which you
installed them.
To determine this order, open a bash shell and use a command
like this:
ls -lt `$QNX_HOST/usr/bin/find base_directory -name "*uninstall*.exe"` where base_directory is where you installed the QNX Software Development Platform. |
To uninstall QNX SDP, do the following:
or:
or:
or:
 |
When you uninstall QNX SDP, Windows schedules the uninstaller for removal the next time you restart your system. If you don't restart your system, and you reinstall QNX SDP, its uninstaller will be removed the next time you restart your system. (Ref# 62183) |
|
|
To determine the base directory for QNX SDP, open a command shell and use the qconfig command. For example:
C:\>qconfig
QNX Installations
Installation Name: QNX Software Development Platform 6.5.0
Version: 6.5.0
Base Directory: C:/QNX650/
QNX_HOST: C:/QNX650/host/win32/x86/
QNX_TARGET: C:/QNX650/target/qnx6/
The base directory in this example is C:/QNX650/, but it could be different on your machine, depending on where you installed QNX SDP.
