I'm not certain whether I could be any help, anyway, to enable anybody to help you, you should indeed provide enough information on what & how are you doing, and what would you expect to happen, and what is actually happening.

building my app for fp2 on windows 2008 server the build doesnt proceed it just hangs after a while ... no error messages reported but it just doesnt proceed

Do you mean that with the Carbide C++, you can open any project, but once you try building it, it just hangs and there are nothing shown the console ?

Have you tried on building with command line ? maybe you would see something in there ..

I was not using carbide, but using command line...


make -s -C \s\client\engine\native\symbian\ui\group -f "ICONS_SMARTMOB.MK" TO_ROOT=..\..\..\..\..\..\.. EPOCBLD=..\..\.

so its stops here ... just waiting for ever

I would then consider actually installing the tools, re-checking both SDK & tools release notes for requirements, and then checking what happens when you build with the IDE. In the end, you will most likely need IDE for building.

It is probably the panic thrown by SVGTBinEncode.exe.
Do you have some debugger tools registered on your machine, like Visual Studio, or other environments? If yes, you may want to check for windows appearing and offering to debug the above mentioned file. Of course you do not need to debug it, you can let it die/abort/cancel, etc. The actual conversion of the files is probably done.
Alternatively you can try editing the icons_blabla_etc.mk file (in the group folder) and adding a /X argument to mifconv.exe, then the erroneous tool will not get invoked.

problem identified.. I gave admin rights to the user and it can build now seems like the old mifconv needs more rights!
