To convert a non-QNX project into a QNX project: 
         
         
         
            - From the menu, select .
 
            - Expand QNX.
 
            - Select Convert to a QNX Project. 
 
            - Click Next. The Convert C/C++ Projects wizard appears.
               
               
                  
                  
               
               
             
            - Select the project(s) you want to convert in the Candidates for conversion field. 
 
            - Specify the language (C or C++). 
 
            - Specify the type of project (application or library). 
 
            - Click Finish. Your converted project appears in the Project Explorer view.
               
               
Note: 
                  For IDE 4.5 or later, you will also have to do the following steps in order to successfully complete the conversion process:
               
               
               
               
                  - After the conversion, right-click on the project and select Properties. 
 
                  - On the left, expand C/C++ Build and select Tool chain editor. 
 
                  - On the right, deselect the option Display compatible toolchains only.
                     The Current toolchain list shows the defined toolchains. 
                  
 
                  - Select a tool chain, such as QNX QCC. 
 
                  - Click OK and exit the Project properties page. 
 
                  - Re-enter the project properties page to verify that all of the C/C++ build settings are set to their default values, including
                        the error parser.
 
               
               
               
             
         
         
         
         
            CAUTION:
            You now have a project with a QNX nature, but you'll need to make further adjustments (e.g. specify a target platform) via
               the Properties dialog if you want it to be a working QNX project.
