Building S60 Platform Log Example v1.1 on Carbide c++ for Nokia E5 platform

Hello,

my name is Enzo, and I am trying to compile the "S60 Platform Log Example v1.1" project for my Nokia E5 mobile phone.
I have imported the project as a "bld.inf" and it works very well, but only if I execute it on Windows emulator (WINSCW configuration).
When I build the project for Phone Release (GCCE) Carbide doesn't build the sisx installation file and the console window doesn't log any error message.
I have already tested some simple QT project and I am able to build sisx file and install it on my E5.
What am I missing?
My final target is being able to maintain in a better way my events log. For example in my E5 it is impossible to delete a single event and you can only delete the entire log.
Thank a lot for your help.

Best regards
Enzo

In the build configuration settings for phone release in carbide, is it enabled to make a sisx for gcce release?

project->properties->carbide.c++->build configurations

Dear Friend,
thank you for the anwser.
Build configuration was missing and I set the following values:

- Configuration -> Sis Builder: Phone Release (GCCE) [S60_3rd_FP2_SDK_v1.1_2]

I then added a new configuration with the following options:
- PKG File: sis\LogExample_S60_3_0_v_1_1_0.pkg
- Output File Name: LogExampleEnzoRelease.sis
- Content Search Location: <leaved blank>
- Generate partail upgrade when appropriate: non checked
- Signing options: Don't sign sis file

As you can see from the build log I have a "Cannot find file" error when makesis.exe is invoked.
In my "C:\S60\devices\S60_3rd_FP2_SDK_v1.1_2\epoc32\" I can't find GCCE directory. I have only GCC dir.
How (and where) can I correct GCC path?
I have installed Carbide c++ version 2.7.0.

Thank a lot
Enzo

Error : Cannot find file : Epoc32\release\GCCE\UREL\LogExample.exe
[/QUOTE]

Clean your project & then build it again & see if you get more errors in console which resulted in this error, which simply means that the exe did not generated on building the project(& a reason for this may be that something is wrong with your code & it didn't build well)

Could you try this.

Check your epocroot by in carbide and in your ($EPOCROOT)\Epoc32\release\GCCE\UREL is there logexample.exe file
In my computer it is
C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd_MR\ is epocroot and this is the folder where is epoc32 folder located
Basically in my case it would have been C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd_MR\Epoc32\release\GCCE\UREL\logexample.exe
In your case this is mismatching

It might be a good idea to post the .pkg file here. Since it is not a built-in example, but a separately downloadable one, it may require some manual work prior to successful packaging.

OK, I try to give an answer to everybody:

1- cleaning my project didn't solve;
2- my symbian version is 9.3 and GCCE doesn't exist (I'll try changing it to GCC)
3- the pkg file is posted below.

I imagine that I have to update pkg file to match my S60 installation directory.
Is it right?

Thank you
Enzo

[/code]

The left side of these "someting"-"someting" lines are actually files on your PC.
Inside every Symbian SDK, there is an epoc32 folder, however that is not the 'current path' when Carbide.c++ invokes makesis. The good thing is that in Caribide.c++ you can use some local environment variables, like ${EPOCROOT}, which is going to be replaced with the location of this epoc32 folder, \S60\devices\S60_3rd_FP2_SDK_v1.1_2\ in your case.
Note that the .pkg file has a comment inside, "execute like: makesis -d%EPOCROOT% LogExample_s60_3rd_ed.pkg", because the -d switch of makesis.exe can be used to specify the 'base path' for the .pkg file, so %EPOCROOT% would be also \S60\devices\S60_3rd_FP2_SDK_v1.1_2\ for your configuration. Actually the comment is misleading because normally the EPOCROOT environment variable is not set (Carbide.c++ sets it internally for itself, but that would not be available in a command prompt).
Let us say this is not the best example ever, but Vineet's suggestion should work, and hopefully after that the example itself will work too.

It finally works!
I had to reinstall my 60 platform (this time setting "Full Installation") before having GCCE directory.
After that, I set up EPOCROOT enviroment variable ed updated the pkg file as suggested by vineet.
Now the sis file is regularly builded.

Thank you
