Need advice

[tampstaffs]

Hi all,
I am new to symbian.I am trying to port a Linux application.I am getting the following errors:

Timeb.h missing and malloc.h missing.Do i need to download them and place it or are there any alternative files available in symbian.Waiting for any advice.
Thx in advance.

Which SDK you are using.

Normally if you are using Symbian V9 with OpenC SDK then you will get less errors While Compiling.

yeah..you have to replace the functions you are using from Timeb.h and malloc.h files with those similar functions available functions in symbian...................

Hi pushyamani,

I substitued timeb things with Timeval structure found in _timeval.h.But was looking for substitute for malloc.h. And after substituting the timeb structure with timeval I am finding the following errors:

..\..\..\..\9.1\S60_3rd_MR_2\EPOC32\include\stdapis\sys\_timeval.h undefined identifier 'suseconds_t'
..\..\..\..\9.1\S60_3rd_MR_2\EPOC32\include\stdapis\sys\_timeval.h undefined identifier '__time_t'
..\..\..\..\9.1\S60_3rd_MR_2\EPOC32\include\stdapis\sys\_timeval.h undefined identifier '__suseconds_t'

How to do this

[mateen_maldar]

hi,

yesterday i was trying on this..

actually the struct of timeval should be

struct timeval
{
time_t someone ,// i forgot this varable name but not __time_t
long suseconds_t
}


and the ifndef mentioned above the headers for it is not properly defined anywhere that's why the reasons of occurence of these errors...

time_t in Unix OS is a data type representing a point in time is a signed integer data type. so you can repace it with Unsigned Int32.

any advice??
