[sheenaj]

hi all,,


presently am working on symbian c++ s60 3rd edition applications. Now we hav switched our ide to carbide.c++ version.1.3. while trying to create mbm using its mmp editor,,, mbm was missing even if following code was updated into the mmp editor..

[code - inside mmp file ]

START BITMAP test.mbm
TARGETPATH resource\apps
HEADER
SOURCEPATH ..\testimg
SOURCE c8,1 sampl.bmp sampl_mask.bmp
END

but couldn't find mbm file and mbg file ..
waiting for ur speedy reply.

thnx

Refresh, then clean the project. Build again and look for the file or for some error message in the console.

I would try one of the following:
- use of Carbide.c++'s add MBM entry wizard (right click on .MMP or .MK file to get access to it)
- use of hand made extension makefiles
- command line build with "-v" added to all commands and a careful inspection of the output

Hi,

I see some problem at this line.
SOURCE c8,1 sampl.bmp sampl_mask.bmp

just remove ,1

use something like as follows:
START BITMAP my.mbm
HEADER
TARGETPATH \Resource\Apps //Target path of .mbm file
SOURCEPATH ..\images // Source path for icons to buil dmbm file
SOURCE c24 MyImg_Small.bmp
SOURCE 8 MyImg_Small_mask.bmp
SOURCE c24 MyImg_Large.bmp
SOURCE 8 MyImg_Large_mask.bmp
END

NevePankaj,,

thnx 4 ur reply . as per ur code ,, i hav edited the mmp file (even if am using default mmp editor)..still failed to generate files..

pls find the code below .. i hav bmp files in app's gfx folder.

START BITMAP test.mbm
HEADER
TARGETPATH \resource\apps
SOURCEPATH ..\gfx
SOURCE c8 sampl.bmp .bmp
SOURCE 1 sampl.bmp_mask.bmp
END

is that anything to do with compiler. once again thnx 4 ur help.

Try doing like...
insted of 1 bit for mask image use 8 bit.

[ltomuta]

The addition of the following statements to the MMP file

START BITMAP Test.mbm
	TARGETPATH resource\apps
	HEADER
	SOURCEPATH ..\gfx
	SOURCE c24,1 b.bmp b_msk.bmp
END

has the following result

***Invoking abld command
perl.exe -S ABLD.PL \Work\Test\group\ resource winscw udeb

hi all,,


there was no mbm file creation command in the console window but not showing any errors . Also tried giving 8 bit image mask instead of 1 bit mask. Still not working . wat could be the reason.. am using carbide.c++ version .v.1.3 . is there any thind to do with compiler/build settings ??? plsss advice..

thnx ,
aswathy.

as you are using carbide ide, its easy to create mbm

1st step- create a folder under your project path
and put all your image there.
2nd step - open ur .mmp file, and click source tab.
then look at right side ,
right there one Bitmaps folder'll be there,
3rd step- click Add button , then one MBM/MIF editor'll open
write there target folder name otherwise click default.
then go for AddFromProject button(click)
4th step- you can see your image there what you have put in your project/Folder path.

select and ok..
Save and compile
it'll be created automatically

Hi,
I see some problem at this line.
SOURCE c8,1 sampl.bmp sampl_mask.bmp

No problem there I'm afraid...
