A    smartmontools/dev_tunnelled.h
 U   smartmontools
Checked out revision 3110.

prepare build by calling autogen.sh

# ./autogen.sh

the output should look like this

configure.in:33: installing `./config.guess'
configure.in:33: installing `./config.sub'
configure.in:23: installing `./install-sh'
configure.in:23: installing `./missing'
Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'

now run the created script...

# ./config.guess

... and check what your plattform is

i386-pc-nto-qnx6.5.0

now run ./configure

# ./configure

the output looks like this:

currently checked smartctl on QNX 6.5.0, 6.4.1 and 6.3.2 targets with some SATA drives ( in IDE mode ) -> basically working
smartd is not supported up to now
