Subject: Porting EPICS to a new OS
From: Emmanuel Mayssat <[email protected]>

Hello,

I am interested in porting EPICS to a new OS, namely QNX.
QNX is a real-time OS with a microkernel.
It is POSIX compliant.

How much work will that take?
or rather what needs to be done?

0/ Because QNX is POSIX compliant, epics-base compiles out of the box
1/ It compiles provided that I create/change files in the $(TOP)/configure directory
2/ It compile but I have to change the master Makefile of epics-base
3/ I have to change the epics-base code itself
4/ It compiles, but requires a combination of all the above
5/ ... something even more time consuming ...
6/ It is impossible.

So on the scale of 0 to 6, how big of a job is that?

Regards,
