Win development qnx execution

Question

Hi,
Most of the drivers for a given OS are developed and copiled under given OS. How to solve the problem of software (and driver) development on a computer
with a different OS thatn the target machine? For example software development in LV on Windows for QNX OS. I know that it is possible to use EDM mod
(Microprocessor SDK) to compile for other OS and architectures (I've done that and it works). But where do hardware drivers compiled for QNX fit in?
Even if you use MHDDK (if I understand correctly) one compiles the driver (which is written in C) on the machine with QNX OS.
How am I able to use it in a software that I'm developing under Windows?
Is it possible to include it in some form as a "external" code by using System Exec, CIN or CLFN?
If I'm going in a wrong direction please suggest the correct one
Just to clarify. I develop software under Windows and want to communicate with Hilscher Profibus card on a machine with QNX Neutrino.
regards
souske

Hi!,
I've been working with LabView 8.2 and CompactRIO, now i'm evaluating Lv Embedded runing on a QNX target. I don't have any problems building a vi if this doesn't contain vi's like those in Signal processing and Mathematics (actually only runs tools from Elementary & Special Functions, from the Mathematics section), however if i try to build a vi containing a block like those a 'Linker error occurred' and appears the next message:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\LabVIEW Data\Labview_Regulator\Code Generation\Code Generation\QNX_Console\QNX_Application\NI_AALBase_lvlib_Real_Dot_Product.o: In function `NI_AALBase_lvlib_Real_Dot_Product_BlockDiagram':

cc: C:/QNX632/host/win32/x86/usr/bin/ntox86-ld caught signal 1
Anyway, i tried including NI_AALBase_lvlib_Real_Dot_Product.o  into Extra Linker Flags but a similar error occurs and shows me next:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\LabVIEW Data\Labview_Regulator\Code Generation\Code Generation\QNX_Console\QNX_Application\NI_AALBase_lvlib_Real_Dot_Product.o: In function `NI_AALBase_lvlib_Real_Dot_Product_InitFPTerms':

cc: C:/QNX632/host/win32/x86/usr/bin/ntox86-ld caught signal 1
I've attached the vi which i referred above, i tried with different vi's and it was the same result. I have installed QNX Momentics 6.3 and LabView in the same computer.
Can anyone help me?
