A problem in building project files

[LordCover]

When I run the command: abld makefile vc6
This Error pops up (In Cmd Window):

make -r -f "\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\EPOC32\BUILD\SYMBIAN\7.0S\SERIES60_V20
\EXAMPLES\HELLOWORLD\VC6.make" MAKEFILE VERBOSE=-s
perl -S makmake.pl -D \SYMBIAN\7.0S\SERIES60_V20\EXAMPLES\HELLOWORLD\HELLOWORLD
VC6

MMPFILE "\SYMBIAN\7.0S\SERIES60_V20\EXAMPLES\HELLOWORLD\HELLOWORLD.MMP"

'LINK.EXE' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
ERROR: failed to find version information for LINK.EXE
make: *** [MAKEFILEHELLOWORLD] Error 1

I want to use MS Visual C++ IDE to create applications
and my SDK is 2nd Edition (Initial Version)

what does this error mean?
what solutions could be there?

thanks.

hi,
Pls, see the link http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...light=LINK.EXE

[LordCover]

ok, they are all talking about changing path variables

but how and where to do this?

I'm sorry, but I'm newbie.

It may happen that you have an item called "Visual Studio Command prompt" in the Start Menu, that can be a short-time solution.
Otherwise, right-click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Environment variables, there you can modify the path.

i wanted some info about our problem.
1. Which version of Visual Studio you are using ?
2. Which version of Visual Studio Plugin for S60 you have installed ?

By my experience one more solution,
firstly install SDK s60_2nd_sdk_fp3, this installation process configure your pc for symbian development perfectly (sets environment variable and all paths required), then install SDK s60_v_1_2 which automatically configure for perl and java. So that you never face LINK.EXE problem.

Though it can be your experience, note that Perl and Java has nothing to do with Visual Studio

So that you never face LINK.EXE problem.

You do not face the missing link.exe, because you have checked the box "Register environment variables" (or something similar) when you have installed the Visual Studio.

ok, my problem is solved

thanks for everyone whose worked for it.

and the total solution was by assigning Path variable in

System Environment Variables.

but there is a warning which says:

Should install MSVC SP3

does this warning affect my developing process in future?

thanks.

Are you unable to write "Yes, I am using Visual Studio 6"? Anyway, apparently you do use VS6.
Generally it is a good idea to update softwares, and yes, it also applies to VS6. Currently there is at least a Service Pack 6 for it, around 60 megabytes, otherwise completely free.
