C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd\S60Ex\helloworldbasic\sis>makesis helloworldbasic.pkg
Processing helloworldbasic.pkg...

C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd\S60Ex\helloworldbasic\sis>cd helloworldbasic.sis
The system cannot find the path specified.

also i am not getting why my makesis.exe not workin?

Hi,

Think the problem is with the path. makesis is not able to locate the path mentioned in your pkg file.

Just copy paste the pkg file or try checking the path.

C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd\S60Ex\helloworldbasic\sis>makesis helloworldbasic.pkg
Processing helloworldbasic.pkg...
error: cannot open file, check filename and access rights

C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd\S60Ex\helloworldbasic\sis>cd helloworldbasic.sis
The system cannot find the path specified.

First things first, there is no file called helloworldbasic.pkg. Probably there would be helloworldbasic_gcc.pkg. First check the directory for the file before you makesis.

Second, you cant

cd helloworldbasic.sis

. Its a file not a directory.

Thirdly, I would advise you to build and run the application on emulator before you try a release version to try on device.

Last but not the least..and probably the most important thing, read the SDK document for how to build and run the helloworldbasic example. There is a full step by step guidline.

Hope it helps..
Good Luck and cheers
Neil

There is no such thing in 1st and 2nd edition package file format: http://www.symbian.com/developer/tec...mat/index.html
The closest thing you can try is using FT (FileText) with/without TA (TextAbort).
