Prerequisites

• You must have installed the QNX Software Center.

3. Open a shell terminal and run: source path/qnxsdp-env.sh to set up the variables and start the Editor from there.
   Alternatively, you can set the environment variables QNX_TARGET and QNX_HOST either in the current shell terminal or set them globally, and then start the Editor.

4. Add the following environment variables:

   QNX_TARGET=/path/to/target/qnx7

   QNX_HOST=/path/to/host/platform/arch

   MAKEFLAGS=-I$QNX_TARGET/usr/include (for QNX 7.0 only)

2. Double-click UnitySetup-QNX-Support-for-Editor.pkg and install it in the same folder.

3. Open a shell terminal and run: source path/qnxsdp-env.sh to set the environment variables in the local shell and start the editor from there.
   Alternatively, you can set the environment variables QNX_TARGET and QNX_HOST either locally in a terminal or globally, and then run the editor.

4. Add the following environment variables:

   QNX_TARGET=/path/to/target/qnx7

Project setup

You don’t need to set up the project further. When you’ve created or opened a project, the QNX Platform is available.

Troubleshooting

If you notice one of the below issues in the Build Settings window, then the QNX DSP Environment isn’t set up correctly:

• Unable to find QNX_TARGET in Environment.
• The build environment does not fit the selected QNX Version.
• The build environment does not contain the selected QNX Architecture.

Before starting the Editor, always check that you have the QNX DSP Environment set up properly for the Editor to pick it up.
