There are chances that it might compile for this platform. Did you try?

Not really. From my web research the chances seemed pretty slim.

Maybe I was giving up too fast?

Note: Code::Blocks only runs on wxGTK and wxMSW at the current time.

I had a look at that. I downloaded wxWidgets from SVN and read the docs/mgl/install.txt. The first thing it talks about is that you need to download "SciTech MGL library" version 5.0beta7 or newer from http://www.scitechsoft.com/products/dev/wx_mgl_home.html, but that whole site appears to be history. So I am stuck, unless it is available elsewhere (I can't seem to find it with Google).
The fact that Code::Blocks only runs on wxGTK and wxMSW at the current time is not a problem. Even the Eclipse-based "Momentics IDE" that is available from QNX requires Windows or Linux, you cannot use it natively under QNX.

Yes, but why would you dod that? I mean: Usually QNX is used for embedded devices, so the QNX runtime on these devices is very small and there is no need to have a whole UI or even IDE on it. That's why you have Momentics - it's very well usable as cross-platform IDE.

Agreed. I just commented on the fact that Code::Blocks required wxMSW or wxGTK and noted that this was similar to the Momentics requirements.
I could use either (Code::Blocks preferred). The scenario considered is perhaps using QNX as a secure/error safe OS more than its ability to run on really small devices. So if wxWidgets could be compiled for QNX and allow me to write programs with or without GUI it would be nice.
