problem in using py2sis tool for sdk 3.0

[smilesnigam]

hi,

I tried making a standalone application using py2sis tool provided in standard 1.4.1 sdk available on sourceforge. I ran the command

>> python py2sis.py snake.py snake.sis --uid=0x0fffffff --appname=snakegame --sdk30

and the output was ...

Compiling...
Done.
ERROR [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\\Epoc32\\release\\GCCE\\UREL\\snakegame_0x0fffffff.exe'

and when i used the same command with --autostart
>> python py2sis.py snake.py snake.sis --uid=0x0fffffff --appname=snakegame --sdk30 --autostart

output is

I can't help you with that exact problem, but I warmly recommend you use ensymble as it is more straightforward and easy to use.

hey i jus want to use the autostart feature in 1.4.1 for 3rd edition, do we have such a thing in ensymble ??

[bogdan.galiceanu]

Yes, there's the --autostart option.

[smilesnigam]

hey thanx bogdan.galiceanu !!!
i successfully made the sis file but i am not able to install it on my phone [E62]. The error says "Unable to install a protected application from an untrusted supplier" . Guess it's something to do with signing the application, which i never did could you please help me out once again .

Hi smilesnigam,

I guess you are trying to install the unsigned application.
Go to Tools->Application Manager->Settings->Software Installation and choose All.
Then try installing the application.

Hope that helps.

Best Regards
Croozeus

Hey croozeus, i tried that too but no use .

[bogdan.galiceanu]

In case you haven't read it, here's the documentation. And the tool.

I'm not very good at explaining the signing process, but I can recommend this guide. You should try this before you read that long documentation.

Feel free to ask if you have any more questions

"Unable to install a protected application from an untrusted supplier"

This error message simply means you're using an invalid UID. Are you using an UID meant for 2nd Edition devices? You need to get an UID compatible with 3rd Edition devices from www.symbiansigned.com, or let Ensymble pick a temporary one automatically.

hey thanx jethro.fn, i successfully installed the application but the app doesnt seems to act at startups even though i have used --autostart while making the sis file. i used ensymble to make the sis files

I forgot to mention this earlier... To use the --autostart option, you need to obtain a developer certificate and an UID from the protected range from www.symbiansigned.com. Phones refuse to start self-signed applications. This is what Ensymble README has to say:

Note: Self-signed applications and applications with UID in the
unprotected range cannot register to be automatically started (see
options "--uid" and "--cert" above).

No idea. I've never used it.
