Problems with 'Hello world' application

[igorradic]

Hi, everyone!

I have just installed S60 3rd Edition SDK (Feature Pack 1).
I am total beginner in this SDK, so I tried to compile and link 'Hello world' application, but it doesn't work.
Can somebody help?

This is what I do (as explained in help):
1. I go to ...\HelloWorldBasic\group directory.
2. I type 'bldmake bldfiles'. One file appears in this directory - ABLD.BAT.
3. Then I type 'abld build'. This string appears: 'make -r -f "...\HelloWorldBasic\group\EXPORT.make" EXPORT VERBOSE=-s Nothing to do'.
4. When I open Emulator and go to Installed directory, I can only see 'App. mgr.' and 'Go to'. No sign of 'Hello world'.

Note that I have installed (and added to path):
1. ActivePerl 5.6.1 Build 638
2. J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6


Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Igor,

Welcome to Forum Nokia's Discussion Boards!

Could it be that you have other Symbian SDKs installed and that S60 3rd SDK FP1 is not currently the default one ?

Call "devices" to see which SDK is the default one and to change it if needed.

Best regards,

[igorradic]

Thanks, Itomuta.

When I call 'devices', only one SDK is shown:
S60_3rd_FP1_2:com.nokia.s60 - default

So, this is not it.
Any other ideas?

Igor

I also tried the same thing with:
1. S60 3rd Edition SDK MR
2. JRE 6
but the same thing happens.

Can someone at least tell me what to expect?
I mean, which files appear after which command and so on.


All the best.
Igor

Here is my configuration

C:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\S60Ex\HelloWorldBasic\group>java -version
java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

C:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\S60Ex\HelloWorldBasic\group>perl -version

This is perl, v5.8.7 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 7 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Looks like I have a newer version of Perl but an older version of the JRE. Anyway, check SDKs release notes for the exact requirements but anything newer should work ...

See also attached the output of my build following the sequence described by you. Note that a call to "abld makefile [target | all]" should have been made as a second step and that you can use the -v option for extensive logging from the tools.

Try this:

abld reallyclean
bldmake clean
bldmake -v bldfiles  > log.txt 
abld -v makefile all  >> log.txt 
abld -v build winscw udeb  >> log.txt 
abld -v build gcce urel >> log.txt

and hopefully the log will give you some hints as to what happens.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen

I've got installed S60 3rd Edition SDK (Feature Pack 1)
file: S60-SDK-200634-3.1-Cpp-f.1090b.zip - 71,828,742 bytes

And I've got exactly the same problem as IGORRADIC described a month ago in this forum-thread.
I've read carefully forum articles but I've not found solution yet :(

Can anybody help, please ???

Serge

[ltomuta]

Can you describe exactly:

• What tools you have installed (jre, perl) ?
  
  • Which IDE(s) ?
  • Which compilers ?
• Which commands fail and with what message (build log would be just fine)

[spadalka]

Dear Itomuta,

Thanks for quick reply.

I've got
Perl: ActivePerl 5.8.8 Build 820
and Java :
D:\ java -version
java version "1.5.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode)


After I installed SDK I tryed to use it with Visual Studio 2005 and downloaded carbide_vs_201.exe.
But I couldn't install it. I received a message that Visual Studio 2003 not found.
I didn't want to change my VS for older one, so I downloaded Carbide_c++_Express_v1_1.exe.
Tryed to build HelloCarbide aplication but couldn't do it.
Then I deleted Carbide 1.1 IDE, opened SDK Help and I thought to compile some example from command prompt

I did exactly the same steps as IGORRADIC:
1. I go to ...\HelloWorldBasic\group directory.
2. I type 'bldmake bldfiles'. One file appears in this directory - ABLD.BAT.
3. Then I type 'abld build'. This string appears: 'make -r -f "...\HelloWorldBasic\group\EXPORT.make" EXPORT VERBOSE=-s Nothing to do'.
4. When I open Emulator and go to Installed directory, I can only see 'App. mgr.' and 'Go to'. No sign of 'Hello world'.

After I read this forum thread I made what you advised:

abld reallyclean
bldmake clean
bldmake -v bldfiles > log.txt
abld -v makefile all >> log.txt
abld -v build winscw udeb >> log.txt
abld -v build gcce urel >> log.txt

I looked in the log.txt but couldn't understand much of it (

Then I deleted SDK, restarted PC, and installed it again, but I still cannot build the example.

I cannot post attachments so I uploaded log-files to web at http://soserge.narod.ru/Nokia/log.zip

When I make command abld-v build winscw udeb some info doesn't stream to the log-file but to the screen:
ERROR: Unable to identify a valid CodeWarrior for Symbian OS installation
make: *** [MAKEFILEHELLOWORLDBASIC] Error 255

We can see here that the string "\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1_2\EPOC32\BUILD\" adds two times to the path, but why ??? ((



PS. I think it's not important on which logical drive installed SDK. But if it's important my system volume is C:, but because of lack of space I've got installed SDK and VS 2005 on logical drive D:

The SDK installation will prompt you to install the GCCE tool chain but it does not include the one for WINSCW, so with only the SDK installed it is not possible to make a command prompt build for the emulator. The tool chain is available with Carbide.vs or Carbide.c++ though at least in the later case extra configuration is needed for command line builds.

The installation drive does not matter but the project source and IDE's workspace must be on the same drive otherwise the build scripts will eventually fail.

Visual Studio 2005 is not supported.

Dear Spadalka, dear Itomuta,

In the meantime I have given up running everything from the command line and installed Carbide Express.
With Carbide, everything seems to function OK.


I wish you all the best.

Hello Everybody

First of all thanks a lot to Itomuta, now I know where is a problem.

Dear Igor
I had Carbide Express 1.1 installed but there were problems with it too.
At first I'd like to make command-prompt-build to work.
Sure sooner or later I plan to use some IDE, Carbide Express or maybe VS 2003

Best regards,
Serge
