Import MMP and BLD.INF fails in Carbide.c++

[csovi]

I'm testing Carbide.c++ Express but stuck right in the beginning. I cannot import .mmp and bld.inf files. An "Invalid Target Type in MMP File" error is displayed for any .mmp files being imported. The bld.inf import does not proceed after selecting the input file and pressing the Next button.

I got these "results" for example when importing the HelloWorld example of the UIQ 2.1 SDK, but also for any other existing projects. In the .mmp file there is an innocent TARGETTYPE app line. Needless to say, all these projects build perfectly with CodeWarrior and from the command line.

Is importing normally possible with Carbide? Any advice please! Thanks.

Try importing a basic helloworld, e.g. TARGETTYPE APP
Only basic user-side code will build with express, e.g. targettypes of:

APP
DLL
EXE
LIB

Yes, that's what I did (see above post) and it failed. Since then I made tests using the HelloWorld example's very simple and plain .mmp file, by changing and deleting lines. In all cases I get the same error Invalid Target Type in MMP File. Finally, even an empty .mmp file gave the exact same error!! So this looks like a very basic problem, not really dependent on the .mmp file being imported.

Do you have Perl installed? Go to a command-line and type 'perl -v'. What do you see?

I see this...

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

...and then copyright stuff. The perl -V command lists a lot of stuff but I think this is the essence:

Locally applied patches: ActivePerl Build 635

So I tend to feel Perl itself is okay (I installed it with the UIQ 3 SDK). (Thanks for looking into the case!)

Your setup sounds OK for Carbide. Just for kicks, try a different 'default' devices.xml setting. When the MMP file is preprocesses it will use the cpp.exe from whatever the default device is.

try a different 'default' devices.xml setting

I tried that and still the same error message. BTW, I could build a new application using the app generator, so the tool chain is working, but no any luck with the .mmp importer, I always get the same error message, regardless the .mmp file used. It appears as if the importer is "not enabled", whatever that means in terms of Carbide. Any further advice, please?

[timm-ah]

The only way we could reproduce this EXACT scenario on UIQ 2.1 HelloWorld example was to open the MMP file in CodeWarrior, chagne the line ending to Macintosh in the editor, save the file, they try to import.

So, make sure you line endings are DOS. Could you use some other editor that chagnes your line endings?

Hello all,
I have exactly the same problem, when i want to import a mmp project i have the following error "Invalid target type in MMP file".
CSOVI do resolve your problem if yes how do you do.
My configuration:
Windows 2000 service pack4
Perl : v5.6.1 built 638
SDK : S60_3rd

[SamoylovBoris]

Try type "TARGETTYPE APP" instead "TARGETTYPE app". It's case-sensitive.

Thanks, for the answer. Shame on me , the JRE which i used is the 1.5.xx, i change it by the 1.4.2 11 and it is works fine.

Weird... I had the same, and it was all due to the SDK's, the projects and carbide not being on the same volume.

when I reinstalled everything on the same driveletter, everything worked. Including the import function

Why doesn't carbide tells the exact error?

[mohsin.sohail]

After one whole day of searching for an answer for why can't I import *.mmp files in Carbide...I finally found the answer. In the release notes it states that there should not be any spaces in the path of where the mmp file is located so I copied the folder in which my whole project was and placed it on my C drive. Wolla...it imported it successfully!!!!!!!!!

So NO spaces in the file structure when your importing otherwise it will give you a Token error if you try to Import.

Hi All,

I am struggling to import a project in carbide.c++
Even the HelloWorldbasic project is not getting imported.
It cribs abouts "Error detected on token TARGETPATH"
I am using SDK3.0.
I have no spaces in the name and the carbide installation abd SDK installation are on the same drive.

The strange thing is I am able to import another project in which the targettype is dll.

When building for thumb through command prompt the compilation fails with
"No rule to make target `..\..\..\EPOC32\RELEASE\THUMB\UREL\EEXE.LIB' ,
needed by `..\..\..\EPOC32\RELEASE\THUMB\UREL\HELLOWORLDBASIC.EXE'. Stop.

Can anyone help me with this.

Regards.
