Carbide.vs Visual Studio 2005 makesis Problem

[FrankTheFox]

Hi,


if i select "File->New-> Project" and then Project type "Symbian"
and Visual Studio installed templates -> "New Symbian OS Project" everything is fine. I am able to compile and VS creates a ".pkg" file. But i can't create a sis file 'cause makesis replies "Cannot find file .....\<myprojectname>.exe. So what is wrong?

Its possible that there are some errors in the build and hence it is not able to find the exe of your project. So check more closely in the console for the root of the error

This is my build report...

Have you tried building in the commandline? Check if build completes and the exe is created.

[skumar_rao]

Why you want to makesis a emulator build ?

[Symbian_Neil]

Just noticed: Further to Kumar's comments(thanks to Kumar), You are building for winscw and the makesis is searching for the exe in the gcce urel directory. if you want to have a sis file for the device build for gcce urel and then makesis should create your sis file

[FrankTheFox]

@Symbian_Neil

My builds runs directly from the VS2005 IDE.
These...

1) "C:\S60\devices\S60_3rd_FP2_SDK_v1.1\epoc32\release\winscw\udeb" -> "Symbian1.exe"
2) "C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd_MR\Epoc32\release\winscw\udeb" -> Symbian1.exe"

...are my exe files created from VS2005 IDE.


My Project "Property Pages" let me choose an "Deb_S60_30M_WINSCW" Configuration.
Where will i have the opportunity to choose a "gcce urel" build?


@skumar_rao "Why you want to makesis a emulator build ?"
I want to create a file to upload on my mobile so i thought that this extension is the proper choice.

WINSCW is meant for windows emulator only.
you should be selecting a GCCE or a ARMV5 build.

Winscw udeb-emulator debug build
gcce udeb-phone debug build
gcce urel-phone release build(If you want to install application to the device and run it)

Note for arm5 you would need the compiler which doesnt come free with the sdk, you will have to exclusively buy it.

Hi,


i am not shure if i get you. If i want to compile and create my builds directly from VS2005 will i
customize my "Property Pages" ?
My choises are (concerning my platform : "Active(Win32)", "Pocket PC 2003 (ARMV4)", ""Smartphone
(ARMV4)", "Win32", All Platforms,...
Configuration is "DEB_S60_30M_WINSCW".

In writing c++ code which runs on Nokia E65.


My download list :

...
Cbdvs3-1.0.1.exe
VSSDK_PowerToys.msi
S60-SDK-0616-3.0-mr.3.749.zip

Very quick notes: perl version is wrong. It should be 5.6.1 and not 5.10
You should be getting platform choices as winscw udeb, gcce udeb and gcce urel. Add Arm5 to that list if you already purchased the RVCT compiler. Other than that, maybe you should start from clean slate importing it correctly. Check the bld.inf for correct platform supported.
See SDK docs for details of how your bld.inf file should look. Or better still check the examples in the SDK.

Hi,


i switched my perl distribution from 5.10.0 Build 1004 to 5.6.1 Build 638. I've created a new Symbian OS Project.
I've installed the S60 3rd SDK.
I've selected WINSCW and GCCE checkboxes and selected all installed SDK's. My "Solution Configurations" choices extends as "Deb_S60_30_WINSCW", "Deb_S60_30M_WINSCW", "Deb_S60_32_v1_1_1.1_WINSCW", "Rel_S60_30_GCCE", "Rel_S60_30M_GCCE", "Deb_S60_32_v1_1_1.1_GCCE". My "Solution Platforms" still remains "Win32". I am not shure! Will this solve my previous problems?

What do you mean solution platform? You should build for the configs mentioned in the above posts and you already seem to have those(Am not a Visual studio guy, so dont know how it might be in Carbide.Vs and Visual studio IDE. But you can check if it compiles now.

[FrankTheFox]

"Solution Platform" is a choice in the VS2005 IDE placed near by the "Solution Configuration". Where you are able to build code for different "solutions". Ok i build my new Project "A hello world app" an there is my output (...part of it...) in the build window (VS IDE).:

Can you try to build from commandline and see if it succeeds?
