capability scan result: need DEPENDENT capability

[neilxp]

Hi, i attempted to run my app on my phone, but it refuses to run with message "Unable To Execute file for Security reason". I am really confusing, RSocket is used in my app and dll, and i have also added CAPABILITY NetworkServices to both app and dll's mmp files. the following capability scanner result says DEPENDENT is requires.

** DEPENDENT capabilities indicates that particular APIs can have different capabilities depending on runtime context. It is not a defined capability.

i got in the SDK help file

Why are DLL capabilities needed?
DLL capabilities should not be regarded as “what a DLL is capable of doing,” but rather what environment it is trusted to work in. A DLL must have equal or greater capabilities than the loading process. Once loaded, a DLL runs at the capability level of the loading process. Therefore a DLL must have all capabilities required by all its client executables, even if the code within the DLL itself does not require some of these capabilities.

If your code can be executed in the emulator, you may also want to check the logfile (http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Epocwind.out).
Since your project is apparently about .dll-s, also remember that a process can not load a .dll having less capabilities.

Hi
I am porting a application which was developed on s60 2nd fp3 on to s60 3rd(9.1v) , I need to find required capabilities for open signing.

I am using carbide 1.3v express edition,“Capability Scanner on mmp” found disabled.

I read capability docs & API found some required caps, but not sure.

Is there any tool to scan them and tell, or any procedure to go ahead?

Any further help appreiated!

Regards,
gangaraju

The capability scanner should be available in Carbide.c++ Express Edition too. Make sure that you are under a 3rd Edition build configuration and that the GT*.XML files are available in your SDK's \epoc32\data\capabilities directory.

As for other tools, there's nothing better than the output in %temp%\epocwind.out

hi ltomuta,

Thanks for the reply,

I checked for GT&.XML file in my SDK,but not found.
\epoc32\data\capabilities directory not exist in my sdk.
could guide me where went wrong?

See this post: http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...55&postcount=2

Thanks for that link ltomuta,
as mensioned in the post,I copied mensioned GT*.xml files to C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd\Epoc32\Data\capabilities and restart the carbideC++,still I found disabled“Capability Scanner on MMP”.

can i run it from commandline..??

Any further help appreciated.

[ltomuta]

To begin with you have the wrong SDK installed S60 3rd Edition SDK was superceded by S60 3rd Edition SDK MR which brings a lot of fixes and improvements. You should install it before going further with your project.

As for why the capability scanner is disabled I don't know, but it could be related to having the wrong SDK.

thanks ltomuta,

I will try with proposed SDK.

I'm against taking DiBo discussion offline. Anything shared here could be used by all the readers while a private solution remains ... private. Also, private help can be obtained through the Technical Support service.

I would also advice you to remove your email address from the post and use the Discussion Board's profile settings to enable email communication. That way you protect yourself from unsolicited emails.

Hi ltomuta,
my sincere appologies for that.
I go ahead as you suggested.
thanks.
