Query and display QNX installations and configurations
qconfig [-abc] [-d path] [-e | -i | -l] [-h] [-n installation_name] [-p] [-r program]
QNX Neutrino, Linux, Microsoft Windows
The -a option was added in QNX Neutrino Core OS 6.3.2 and an update to QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP1 and QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP2. |
The -b option was added in QNX Neutrino Core OS 6.3.2 and an update to QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP1 and QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP2. |
The -c option was added in QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP3 and an update to QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP1 and QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP2. |
You'll find this option useful when setting up the environment for building software.
count: number_of_installations name: ... version: ... host: ... target: ...
There's a set of lines for each version of software that you've installed.
The -p option was added in QNX Neutrino Core OS 6.3.2 and an update to QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP1 and QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP2. |
The qconfig utility sets or queries the QNX configuration files. It supports the coexistence of multiple versions of Neutrino on one machine.
To change the version of QNX Neutrino that you're developing for on a Windows machine, use QWinCfg instead of qconfig. QWinCfg changes the registry on your machine; qconfig changes only the settings in your current shell. |
Whenever you install a version of Neutrino, a configuration file is stored in a directory that depends on the host OS. Each configuration file defines the name of the installation and its base, host, and target directories.
The QNX_CONFIGURATION environment variable usually identifies the directory where the configuration files are stored, but you can override it by specifying the -d option. If neither of these produces a valid location, qconfig looks in /etc/qnx/qconfig before giving up and returning an error.
If you don't specify an installation with the -n option, qconfig uses the most current installation.
You can use qconfig to query your current configuration in a human-readable format, or you can use the -e option to set up your environment to use a certain installation.
This utility doesn't list the installed packages in any particular order. |
List all the QNX installations:
qconfig
Set up your shell environment for a specific installation:
eval `qconfig -n "QNX Momentics 6.3.0" -e`
The syntax for evaluating the output of the -e option depends on the host OS and the shell that you're using. The command shown above works with ksh and bash. |
Run a specific instance of qde (the IDE):
qconfig -n "QNX Momentics 6.3.0" -r qde
