#----------------------------------------------------------------
# QNX hints
#
# These hints were written for QNX4, but are in the process
# of being extended to encompass Neutrino as well.
#
# As of perl5.004_04, all tests pass under:
#  QNX 4.23A
#  Watcom 10.6 with Beta/970211.wcc.update.tar.F
#  socket3r.lib Nov21 1996.
# perl-5.6.1 runs well on QNX4 with a few known test failures
# perl-5.6.0 ships with QNX RTP (Neutrino) but the build is
# not yet straightforward.
#
# As with many unix ports, this one depends on a few "standard"
# unix utilities which are not necessarily standard for QNX4.
#
# /bin/sh  This is used heavily by Configure and then by
#          perl itself. QNX4's version is fine, but Configure
#          will choke on the 16-bit version, so if you are
#          running QNX 4.22, link /bin/sh to /bin32/ksh
# ar       This is the standard unix library builder.
#          We use wlib. With Watcom 10.6, when wlib is
#          linked as "ar", it behaves like ar and all is
#          fine. Under 9.5, a cover is required. One is
#          included in ../qnx
# nm       This is used (optionally) by configure to list
#          the contents of libraries. I will generate
#          a cover function on the fly in the UU directory.
# cpp      Configure and perl need a way to invoke a C
#          preprocessor. I have created a simple cover
#          for cc which does the right thing. Without this,
#          Configure will create its own wrapper which works,
#          but it doesn't handle some of the command line arguments
#          that perl will throw at it.
# make     You really need GNU make to compile this. GNU make
#          ships by default with QNX 4.23, but you can get it
#          from quics for earlier versions.
#----------------------------------------------------------------
# Outstanding Issues for QNX4:
#   There is no support for dynamically linked libraries in
#   QNX4.
# 
#   ext/Cwd/Cwd.t will complain if `pwd` and cwd don't give
#   the same results. cwd calls `fullpath -t`, so if you
#   cd `fullpath -t` before running the test, it will
#   pass.
#
#   lib/File/Find/taint.t will complain if '.' is in your
#   PATH. The PATH test is triggered because cwd calls
#   `fullpath -t`.
#
#   lib/ExtUtils.t: If you follow these hints and include
#   -w4 in your ccflags, this test will complain about
#   extra .err files appearing in its test directory.
#
#   ext/IO/lib/IO/t/io_sock.t Still investigating
#   ext/POSIX/sigaction.t Still investigating
#
# Older issues:
#   lib/posix.t test failed on test 17 because acos(1) != 0.
#      Resolved in 970211 Beta
#   lib/io_udp.t test hangs because of a bug in getsockname().
#      Fixed in latest BETA socket3r.lib
