h1. Installing Wt on QNX
2
3
PRELIMINARY: this document is not yet finished. It is intended for the upcoming Wt version 3.1.9.
4
5
These are the guidelines to install Wt on Qnx. The procedure is very similar to other POSIX systems, but you need to work around some bugs in some libraries.

h2. Build boost for QNX.
8
9
These instructions and the patch below are for boost 1.46.1, the most recent boost at the time of writing of this document.
10
11
In general, boost seems to work pretty ok with Qnx. To work around some compiletime and runtime problems, you should apply this patch:

This patch has been submitted to boost: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5355

Then, bootstrap and compile boost:

<pre>

# cd boost_1_46_1
41 3 Wim Dumon
# ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=date_time,filesystem,program_options,regex,signals,system,thread

# ./bjam toolset=qcc variant=release link=static threading=multi install

h2. Build cmake for QNX
46
47
Just follow the instructions in the Readme.txt file. I built cmake 2.8.4 without problems:
48
49
<pre>
50
# ./bootstrap
51
# make
52
# make install
53
</pre>

h2. Build Wt for QNX
56
57
Download Wt, and untar it in a directory wt-x.y.z. There's one important catch: cmake will by default select a different compiler than qcc to build Wt - and we noticed this doesn't work very well. Since we have built boost with qcc, we'll also build Wt with qcc.

# cd wt-3.1.8
