[SOLVED] UNABLE to make SIS file from HelloWorld........

[nono240]

Hi to all,

I'm TRYING to start with Symbian programming, but i'm enable to create a SIS file for my phone :

1- I import the example "Hello World" from S60Ex/ in my workspace using "import bld.inf"
2- I import the .pkg file (in /sis) in the group tree
3- Build for armi

I have the following error :

"File not found" at line (see below) in the .pkg :

; HelloWorldBasic.pkg
;
;Language - standard language definitions
&EN

; standard SIS file header
#{"HelloWorldBasic"},(0x10005B91),1,0,0

;Supports Series 60  v2.0
(0x101F7960), 0, 0, 0, {"Series60ProductID"}

;vvv Error just here vvv
"..\..\..\epoc32\release\armi\urel\HelloWorldBasic.APP"                          -"!:\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic.app"
"..\..\..\epoc32\data\z\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic.rsc"          -"!:\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic.rsc"
"..\..\..\epoc32\data\z\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic_caption.rsc"  -"!:\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic_caption.rsc"
"..\..\..\epoc32\data\z\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic.aif"          -"!:\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic.aif"

PLEASE help me starting, it's frustrating

change the lines, to show complete path

"c:\symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2\epoc32\release\armi\urel\HelloWorldBasic.APP" -"!:\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic.app"
"c:\symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2\epoc32\data\z\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic.rsc" -"!:\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic.rsc"
"c:\symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2\epoc32\data\z\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic_caption.rsc" -"!:\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic_caption.rsc"
"c:\symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2\epoc32\data\z\system\apps\HelloWorldBasic\HelloWorldBasic.aif"

THANK YOU, that worked (according to change to my correct path).

Could you explain a little bit those lines ?

[vasant21]

The line
"..\..\..\epoc32\release\armi\urel\HelloWorldBasic.APP"

tells the package builder to look in relative path, but your program folder can be anywhere in the c drive,so this statement wont work, as it cannot find the specified file.

c:\symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2\epoc32\release\armi\urel\HelloWorldBasic.APP"

Now the package builder can find the file, no matter whereever your program folder is currently located.

So to be more specific we give the abosolute path addressing the exact location of the file with full path

ok, but what are this files ? (except .app)

Hi,

ok, but what are this files ? (except .app)

Refer to the following link:
http://www.newlc.com/File-types-and-dependencies.html

Moreover locate following path in the SDK help:

Series 60 2nd Edition SDK for Symbian OS, Supporting Feature Pack 2
Developer Guides >> Symbian OS: Coding Conventions in C++
File Types

If you can't locate, then search for "aif", "rsc" etc... in the SDK help.

Kiran.
