README.qnx

Please see hints/qnx.sh for more detailed information about compiling
perl under QNX4.

The files in the "qnx" directory are:

 * "qnx/ar" is a script that emulates the standard unix archive (aka
   library) utility.  Under Watcom 10.6, ar is linked to wlib and
   provides the expected interface. With Watcom 9.5, a cover function
   is required. This one is fairly crude but has proved adequate for
   compiling perl.  A more thorough version is available at:

	http://www.fdma.com/pub/qnx/porting/ar

 * "qnx/cpp" is a script that provides C preprocessing functionality.
   Configure can generate a similar cover, but it doesn't handle all
   the command-line options that perl throws at it. This might be
   reasonably placed in /usr/local/bin.
