Question about PKG file

[lm.thiago]

Hello! I'm trying to create a sis file of one example which is included in Sdk 3.0 FP1. It's in the folder Editor.

My IDE is Carbide Express 1.1.

When I try to create the SIS file I have a error here at the third statement (about the AkenExEditor_reg.rsc):

"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\release\$(PLATFORM)\$(TARGET)\AknExEditor.exe" -"!:\sys\bin\AknExEditor.exe"
"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\data\z\resource\apps\AknExEditor.rsc" -"!:\resource\apps\AknExEditor.rsc"
"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\data\z\private\10003a3f\apps\AknExEditor_reg.rsc" -"!:\private\10003a3f\import\apps\AknExEditor_reg.rsc"
"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\data\z\resource\apps\AknExEditor_aif.mif" -"!:\resource\apps\AknExEditor_aif.mif"


At first, I'd llike to know what each of the statements beggining with -"!:
means. What does it do? What is the necessity?

The error is:
Severity Description Resource In Folder Location Creation Time Id
2 *** [C:/Symbian/Carbide/workspace/aknexeditor/sis/editor_gcce.sis] Error 1 aknexeditor March 7, 2007 5:14:02 PM 3463

Severity Description Resource In Folder Location Creation Time Id
2 file I/O fault. editor_gcce.pkg aknexeditor/sis line 33 March 7, 2007 5:14:02 PM 3462

At first I tried to check in the folder -"!:\private\10003a3f\import\apps\AknExEditor_reg.rsc" and the file
was there. So I copied it to the other folder and it seems to be solved
but in the next line was another error similar to that, but at this time I didn't find the correspondent file.

Wait for answers.
Thanks!

you can also put hard path like c:\ or E:\

but if you put "!" it indicate the root path, that you have selected at the time of installation.

if you select memory then sis file install on memory card and if you select phone memeory then it will installed in phone memory.

But I still don't know what this PATHS beggining with "!-" are for...

??

[kkrish]

if u have on file like "c:\system\apps\a.app" it will move to phone memory whether you installed on phone memeory or memory card it does not have any effect.

but if the path like "!:\system\apps\a.app" this will move to the spacified loaction that you have selected at the time of installation or it can be memory card or phone memory what ever you have selected.


Hope you understand now.

But and about the error with the file !:\private\10003a3f\import\apps\AknExEditor_reg.rsc?

I solved it copying the file in this PATH to the other PATH: $(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\data\z\private\10003a3f\apps\

And there is another problem that I can't find the file "!:\resource\apps\AknExEditor_aif.mif".

I got the problem with pkg as well...

In fact, I just use the example HelloWorld example and change the name, but i have this pkg: I/O fault error thing...

My Pdg is like these:
"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\release\$(PLATFORM)\$(TARGET)\dialer1.exe" -"!:\sys\bin\dialer1.exe"
"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\data\z\resource\apps\dialer1.rsc" -"!:\resource\apps\dialer1.rsc"
"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\data\z\private\10003a3f\apps\dialer1_reg.rsc" -"!:\private\10003a3f\import\apps\dialer1_reg.rsc"
"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\data\z\resource\apps\dialer1.mif" -"!:\resource\apps\dialer1.mif"

I have checked that the rsc and mif files are in the corresponding location, I have no clue.
Anyone can give me a hint?

Please~~~~

hi,

check dialer1.exe in ur epoc32 directly

and check whether it is ceated in gcce urel or amrv5 urel depending upon ur compiler ..

I\O fault is basically raise due to file not found at the specified path of the package....

1) Import the project using the Import -> Symbian bld.inf
2) Import the editor_gcce.pkg and backup_registration.xml files into the project using the Import -> File System. The files are to be imported into aknexeditor\sis.
3) Import qgn_menu_aknexeditor.svg into the project using Import -> File System. The file is to be imported in aknexeditor\gfx
4) Create a new mifdef file: File -> New -> Mif Definition File. The file must have the name AknExEditor_aif.mifdef and should be placed in aknexeditor\gfx
5) Add the SVG file to AknExEditor_aif.mifdef.
6) Edit the editor_gcce.pkg so that it looks like the attached file.
7) Build for "gcce urel" and you should have a build log like the one attached (with the sis file built successfully)

it is created in gcce urel as I configured.
I tried to change the path
"$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\release\$(PLATFORM)\$(TARGET)\dialer1.exe"
to "\Epoc32\release\gcce\urel\dialer1.exe"

but the error was still there.
I also think the problem is due to file not found, but...what else I can do?

The red strings are referring to an actual file on your hard drive. EPOCROOT, PLATFORM and TARGET are replaced with \Symbian\9.1\..., GCCE and UREL when you are building from Carbide.
If you are planning to get rid of these environment variable-references, you can do it, simply give the full path of dialer1.exe (I guess you have no Epoc32 folder in the root directory, you should rather try "\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd<something>\Epoc32\...").

[kkrish]

you can also copy the file where the pkg file is
and can give the path without "$(EPOCROOT)Epoc32\release\$(PLATFORM)\$(TARGET)\dialer1.exe"

then you just write "dialer1.exe" - "destination path"

just for try.


hope this will help you and one more thing reun devices command from console and check which device is currently set.
