BLDMAKE ERROR: cpp.exe returned non-zero exit status

[adrianogalati]

Hi,

I don't know why I get
BLDMAKE ERROR: ERROR: cpp.exe returned non-zero exit status (13568)
Build returned with exit value=-1

When I run HelloWorld!
Does anybody know why?? and what I should do??
Thank you in advance

Adriano

You can try issuing

bldmake bldfiles

from a command prompt in the group folder of the project.

[adrianogalati]

I did
c:\Program Files\Common Files\Symbian\tools\bldmake.exe bld.inf

and I get
Can't open perl script "c:\Program": No such file or directory

What do you suggest?
Thanks a lot,

Adriano

Certainly not like that.

Go to the "group" folder of your project directory. Call the following command.

bldmake bldfiles

A Forum Nokia Champion tells you exactly what to do, you completely ignore it and try something bizarre instead then ask for even yet furhter assistance???

[adrianogalati]

Ok, thanks,
I did it and I have got:

This application has failed to start because cygwin1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

and

BLDMAKE ERROR: ERROR: cpp.exe returned non-zero exit status (13568)
cpp.EXE -undef -nostdinc -+ -I ..\..\..\EPOC32\include -I . -I .\ ".\BLD.INF"

But I have cygwin1.dll in C:\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2_CW\Epoc32\tools\migrationtool\gccbinutils

What do you think I should do?
Thanks,
Adriano

I also have almost same problem the error "bldmake returned with exit value = 2" displays when trying to build the program. Can anyone please tell the solution!!!!! I reinstalled all the SDKs, ActivePerl and Carbide c++2.0. Help!!

[satyakam]

It seems like your build environment is picking the C preprocessor(cpp.exe) from cygwin. I find it safe to add %EPOCROOT%epoc32/tools;%EPOCROOT%epoc32/gcc/bin ahead in the PATH environment variable. The cpp.exe is bundled in the Symbian SDK.

[aparna.sr.14]

Can u please tell me what exactly is the "group" folder of the project directory? I'm unable to figure out where it is.

According to your other posts, you are experimenting with Qt, so expect answers in the Qt boards (yes, I can see your threads there, just I do not know Qt). It may happen that some make-like utility generates the bld.inf for you.
Note that these command line magics may rely on having the winscw toolchain available from the command line too. In the Start Menu group of Carbide.c++ you can find "Configure environment for WINSCW command line". Try running it if you have not executed it yet (if Vista has right-click+"Run as Administrator", consider using that way to execute it).
Have you checked if it is possible to create and execute some Qt-less, but GUI code with your configuration?

I have the same problem. I did reinstall all the SDKs, the compiler and active pearl.

At the Carbide Console:

***Invoking bldmake command
perl.exe -S bldmake.pl bldfiles winscw  

ERROR: EPOCROOT must specify an existing directory.

=== BLDMAKE Command failed with error code 2 ===
***Stopping. Check the Problems view or Console output for errors.

***Errors were detected in build. See the Problems or Console view for details.

And when I try

bldmake bldfiles
EPOCROOT environment variable must be capitalised
BEGIN falied--compilation aborted at C:\S60\devices\Nokia_N97_SDK_v1.0\epoc32\/E32env.pm line 55.
Compilation failed in require at C:\S60\devices\Nokia_N97_SDK_v1.0\epoc32\tools\bldmake.pl line 28.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\S60\devices\Nokia_N97_SDK_v1.0\epoc32\tools\bldmake.pl line 28.

[elomatrix]

I'm notexperimenting with Qt

[wizard_hu_]

Then it is not the same problem...
Do you have an EPOCROOT environment variable? Because you should not. set command lists the environment variables. set e lists the variables having a name starting with 'e'.
If you type a simple devices, does it show your SDK?

[elomatrix]

I dont have an EPOCROOT avriable.
device work and list all the SDKs: 3rd, 5th and N97.

Which one is set as default?
