Setting up Qt for QNX on VMware

QNXuser

I am trying to set up Qt for QNX. I was following this YouTube video:

When I hit the Test button, I get the following error:

Checking if specified ports are available...
Error gathering ports: Remote process failed; exit code was 1.
Remote error output was: sh: cannot create /var/run/qtc.3.pid: No such file or directory

Any idea what this means?

All the communication from Qt Creator to the QNX VM is done via ssh.

I have found it very useful to get the extra information from this communication.

You can set the environment variable QT_LOGGING_RULES=qtc.ssh*=true before starting Qt Creator.

I have found out that on my QNX VM I didn't have the /var/run directory, and when Qt Creator tried to create the pid file it failed.

Make sure you log to your QNX VM and issue a mkdir -p /var/run before doing the Test in Qt Creator.

Thank you! It all worked out.

I added a kit in the options like this:

with the compilers defined as:

When I build the project, I get 94 errors, some of them are:

I added the path of libraries mentioned in the error in the .pro file and then ran Build-->Run qmake but got the same errors. Here is how I added the libraries:

INCLUDEPATH += \
C:\Users\ehsan\qnx710\target\qnx7\x86_64\lib

INCLUDEPATH += \
C:\Users\ehsan\qnx710_2\target\qnx7\x86_64\usr\lib

INCLUDEPATH += \
C:\Qt\5.14.2\qnx7_x86_64\lib

What am I missing?

I assume you meant LIBS and not INCLUDEPATH.

Those shared libraries are part of the QNX sysroot.

You need to have them installed via the QNX software manager so that you can build against, and when you create your VM you need to have something like:

@#########################################
@## more libraries
@#########################################
@/lib/libfreetype.so.1=usr/lib/libfreetype.so.1
@/lib/libpng16.so.0=usr/lib/libpng16.so.0

So that you have the libraries in the VM to be able to run your Qt application. Or package them alongside your application.
