I am still building "by hand" (many tweaks) for both vm & display.

https://github.com/KenDickey/opensmalltalk-vm has typical locations:
     platforms/unix/vm-display-qnxScreen
     building/qnx64ARMv8

BUT these cross-compile (x86/Linux->arm64/QNX) and won't build yet with 
typical process.  8^(

The RasPi4 image I have does not contain typical build tools, but the 
QNX folks have just released a QEMU image which is self-hosting.  8^)

QNX on Raspberry Pi 5 is in progress as well.  Real Soon Now (tm).

Given the "shakey legs" state of the build, I would much prefer to go 
the self-hosting route as it should be _much_ easier to work into the 
OSVM standard build process.  So am keeping with hand-messaged 
cross-build at present.

Attached is screenshot from QNX/RasPi4.  No keyboard yet, but good for 
proof of concept / progress report.

Working on it!

Amazing what one can do with just a mouse.
