Please help me.I just installed SDK and carbide.

[ramesh12]

Hi all,

I have installed S60 3.1 SDK and Carbide in my machine and configured command line tools and set EPOCROOT as \ in the User variable and SDK preferences in the Carbide also set properly.

When I try to give bldmake bldfiles in the command prompt under particular project directory which has bld.inf ,I am getting this error.

"\epoc32\tools\bldmake.bat was called but is not supported in this release"

What does the above error means and how to solve it ?

There is no need to define EPOCROOT variable.

There is no need to define EPOCROOT variable.

yes,you should install the default path..
1 jRE
2 Active perl
3 carbide
4 SDK

Where is this wave of EPOCROOT missuse coming from? Is there a document we should update?

Hi ,

I didn't install JRE .Because of not installing JRE, is it giving compiling error ?

But I can compile the project using Carbide c++ ? Do u have any clue to solve this error ?

I have installed Carbide,Active Perl,S60 3.1 SDK under C drive only.Is it necessary to install JRE and Do u have any link to install JRE?

Even if not using default path, EPOCROOT is never* needed

You don't need JRE yet, just remove EPOCROOT and then have a look at the links in my signature

Delete EPOCROOT variable from

control panel >> System >> Advanced >> Environment variables >>...

Hi Kiran,

When I tried removing EPOCROOT variable,I got thie compile error "\EPOC32\ does not exists" .I solved it by setting EPOCROOT in the user variable of Environment variable.

After solving this error,again I am getting this error in the command prompt.

"\epoc32\tools\bldmake.bat was called but is not supported in this release"

I suspect the above error is not due to EPOCROOT .It is something indicating that it might be error in active perl since bldmake.bat file contains perl related statements.

What is ur suggestions ?

I have a feeling from your error about EPOCROOT \Epoc32\does not exist...might have been that your EPOCROOT might have been set to '\' in environment variable on your second attempt at it. Take care to remove it completely.

And when in doubt of perl, always mention what version you are using. The correct one is 5.6.1 build 635/638
