Emulator does not installs console applications

[asmatic]

Hi, I'm starting to develop Symbian C++ programs with Carbide 1.2, SDK S60 3erd ed, FP1.

Im tarting some hello world console applications, but on the emulator, i cant find the installed program under installed applicatios.

So far, evem the Carbide Hello world console template does not appears.

It seems I can only run GUI apps, that seems to install correctly on the emulator, but so far no console apps cant be run on emulator...

Any help or ideas?

If you want to run/see the console app (from Carbide) you have to put the name of your app instead of emulator (in run configuration).

For your second problem....the template one I have no idea :-D

You have to add the following statement:

textshell

to your epoc.ini. It will launch the emulator in console mode. If you want to switch back to GUI, then remove this statement.

Thanks pirosl,
did you mean to change the "Emulator" line under Run Configuration to actually show the route to my program?
I've tried that and although the emulator starts, cant fid the app on ot :(

Antonypr, tried that also, the wmulator starts on console mode... I've browsed some dirs but cannot find any trace of my HelloWorld app. I Don't know too deeply symbiaan OS directory structure by the way.

Yes.....the application will not appear under installed applications. Instead the application should directly start when emulator starts

that's the only source file:

#include "hw.h"
#include <e32base.h>
#include <e32std.h>
#include <e32cons.h> // Console


// Constants

_LIT(KTextConsoleTitle, "Console");
_LIT(KTextFailed, " failed, leave code = %d");
_LIT(KTextPressAnyKey, " [press any key]\n");


// Global Variables

LOCAL_D CConsoleBase* console; // write all messages to this


// Local Functions

LOCAL_C void MainL()
{
//
// add your program code here, example code below
//
console->Write(_L("Hello, world!\n"));
}


LOCAL_C void DoStartL()
{
// Create active scheduler (to run active objects)
CActiveScheduler* scheduler = new (ELeave) CActiveScheduler();
CleanupStack::PushL(scheduler);
CActiveScheduler::Install(scheduler);

MainL();

// Delete active scheduler
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(scheduler);
}


// Global Functions

GLDEF_C TInt E32Main()
{
// Create cleanup stack
__UHEAP_MARK;
CTrapCleanup* cleanup = CTrapCleanup::New();

// Create output console
TRAPD(createError, console = Console::NewL(KTextConsoleTitle, TSize(KConsFullScreen,KConsFullScreen)));
if (createError)
return createError;

// Run application code inside TRAP harness, wait keypress when terminated
TRAPD(mainError, DoStartL());
if (mainError)
console->Printf(KTextFailed, mainError);
console->Printf(KTextPressAnyKey);
console->Getch();

delete console;
delete cleanup;
__UHEAP_MARKEND;
return KErrNone;
}



It's standard SDK template for a hello world basic console APP.

That's the mpp file

TARGET hw.exe
TARGETTYPE exe
UID 0 0xE83D2A01

USERINCLUDE ..\inc
SYSTEMINCLUDE \epoc32\include

SOURCEPATH ..\src
SOURCE joder.cpp

LIBRARY euser.lib

BLD file:
PRJ_PLATFORMS
DEFAULT

PRJ_MMPFILES
hw.mmp

If you are using S60 3rd, your application should be yourfile.exe (and not yourfile.app).
Normally, if you specify yourfile.exe in the executable and emulator file name in Carbide.c++, your application will be launched automatically.

If not, you can just type the name of your application in the command line. For example:

c:\>yourfile

Antony Yes, yes, I mean .EXE, "app" was short for application :)

Suddenly The method proposed by pirosl is working... I dont know exactly what happened before :)

I have made i work on the other way, starting emulator in text mode...The first time I was thinking that I was supposed to search for my app on the directory tree :)

Thank-you both

I think probably, that the app was in fact starting, but that it was put on the background when the main phone screens shows up... :$

Yep....I think your application just went in background
