$ gdb /path/to/the/application/you/built
<gdb> r
(for "run")

And please tell us if gcc is already installed on this device.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I am not a native speaker:
You have written an application (using FFmpeg) that is 
intended to run on a Blackberry. You found out that debugging 
on the Blackberry is non-trivial. To simplify your testing task, 
just compile your application on the system that you are using 
(I expected this to be Linux but it doesn't matter at all) for 
development and test the application there.

I am curious: How do you know?
Cross-compilers are often buggy, and FFmpeg has a long 
history of being able to "find" compiler bugs much better than 
other programs.
And I of course cannot rule out that FFmpeg is broken on 
qnx: After all, everybody who reported problems so far 
disappeared before explaining what the reason for the 
problem was.

A very simple way to test FFmpeg is to compile on the 
Blackberry with a native compiler and run fate. But you 
first have to type "gcc -v" to find out if a compiler is 
installed.
