Thank you for choosing the QNX Software Development Platform version 6.5.0. This guide tells you how to install it from DVD or CD.
Please read this preface for information that applies to all host OSs:
and then refer to the chapter for your specific OS:
Throughout this manual, we use certain typographical conventions to distinguish technical terms. In general, the conventions we use conform to those found in IEEE POSIX publications. The following table summarizes our conventions:
Reference | Example |
---|---|
Commands | make |
Environment variables | PATH |
File and pathnames | /dev/null |
Keyboard keys | Enter |
Variable names | stdin |
User-interface components | Cancel |
We use an arrow (→) in directions for accessing menu items, like this:
You'll find the Other... menu item under.
We use notes and cautions to highlight important messages:
Notes point out something important or useful. |
Cautions tell you about commands or procedures that may have unwanted or undesirable side effects. |
Before you install this software, please note the following:
QNX SDP 6.5.0 introduces a new licensing scheme; for more information, see “What's new: Licensing” in the release notes. |

ls -lt `$QNX_HOST/usr/bin/find base_directory -name "*uninstall*.exe"`
ls -lt `find base_directory -name "*uninstall*.bin"`
where base_directory is where you installed the QNX Software Development Platform.
