Running Console apps in S60 3rd edition

[yuenfatt]

Is there a problem in doing so? It seems that even running a simple hello world console application isn't possible. The application will build nicely but won't appear on the emulator.

Hi,

It runs fine in console mode.

hmm is there something I'm missing then?
I installed the SDK for s60 3rd edition
I then installed carbide c++
I imported the .inf file in hello world example folder
I built the project
I run it
I goto the installation folder

I see nothing

This is because you are launching epoc.exe and it loads all the gui and console exes during its lauching.
Change your executable path from

X:\epoc32\release\WINSCW\udeb\epoc.exe to
to

X:\epoc32\release\WINSCW\udeb\eshell.exe
then you will see your output in the console prompt...
Note where X: is your local drive name(wherever you have installed symbian)

You can also create an icon for your console executable. Follow the same steps as in case of a GUI app (a _reg.rss file is needed), you can find tips in the Wiki if you search for console.
