S60 3rd FP1 troubles

[Adriana_P]

Hello,

I am quite new in Symbian world, so first I want to apologize if my question(s) are trivial :D

I have installed the following on my XP system, on disk C: (where the system is):

- JRE 1.5.0_12 (couldn't find 1.5.0_6 as specified in ReleaseNotes for SDK 3rd FP1)
-ActivePerl 5.6.1.631
-S60 SDK 3rd FP1 for C++ (archive name: S60-SDK-200634-3[1].1-Cpp-f.1090b.zip)

According with S60_CPP_SDK_3rd_FP1_InstallationGuide_1.0.pdf, the next step is to verify if the installation is correct and the SDK functional, and for this to compile and run into emulator the HelloWorldBasic example.

I did the steps required:
- bldmake bldfiles
- abld build
(all from Symbian\9.2\..\helloworldBasic\Group directory)

The result of abld build is:

make -r -f "\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1_2\EPOC32\BUILD\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1_2\S60Ex\HelloWorldBasic\group\Export.make" EXPORT VERBOSE=-s
Nothing to do


When I start the emulator (epoc from Command line or from Start Menu), and go into Applications\Installed, the HelloWorldBAsic does not appear there, as the documentation says it should).

Has anyone any idea why? Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something?

Thank you!

Adriana.

Commands
abld build winscw udeb (for the emulator)
abld build gcce urel (for target device)
may do a bit more.
However you cannot build for the emulator with a bare SDK, and it might also apply to building for the target device.

[Adriana_P]

Thank you.

Using abld build winscw udeb I get now some compilings but also an error, and it hang at the end at "convert files...".

The error is: "ERROR: Unable to identify a valid CodeWarrior for Symbian OS installation"

I guess this is related to what you said:

However you cannot build for the emulator with a bare SDK(...)

All these means that I have to install also in IDE in order to have HelloWorldBasic running on the emulator?

Adriana.

[wizard_hu_]

Yes, you need an IDE (for example Carbide http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/reso...cpp/index.html)

[Adriana_P]

OK, thank you.

I cannot find again where I red about what IDE are supported by SDK 3rd Ed.

For SDK 2nd Ed I could use Visual Studio 6 as IDE.

Is this supported also by SDK 3rd Ed? To what reffers that "vs6" project platform for abld command?

Well, the fact that it stopped at "converting files" isn't really to do with lacking an IDE (though you do need one even to compile for the emulator on the command line, SDKs don't ship with a wins compiler.) The problem there is that mifconv won't run if the emulator is running, for reasons I can't really fathom, it uses the epoc tree for its temp files, and doubtless can't write them while that tree is locked.

I can confirm this, I tried again to build after I closed the emulator, and it didn't hang anymore.

I installed Visual Studio.NET 2003, then Carbide.vs 2.01, and still the same problem - error at building the udeb version for emulator, and ofcourse no HelloWorldBAsic app in Emulator :(

Any idea what is still missing?

Then try compiling from the IDE. I do not know Carbide.vs in particular, but there should be some kind of Import command, where you can select the bld.inf or the .mmp file from the group folder.

Yes. You can import bld.inf or .mmp file from

File-> Import Symbian Project

Then select "Symbian 9" from the drope down list.

Once you have successfully imported your project, you can then Clean - Rebuild your project.

All the best.
Kiran.

I did this - Import in VS.NET 2003 with Carbide.vs installed, Clean and Rebuild Solution, and IT WORKS!!! Finally I can see HelloWorldBasic in Emulator and also it works.

I am moving now to porting my project from 2nd to 3rd edition - this is actually the big fight :D

Thanks guys!

Have a magical day,
Adriana.
