Trouble after patching S60 FP2 SDK to support Windows Vista

[jmatthauser]

After installing S60 FP2 SDK and following the steps detailed in the release notes to patch the sdk (copying the cl_bpabi.pm file to epoc32\tools) and adding the specified directories to the Path environment variable I still have errors when building.

The error I get is this:

fatal error: error writing to -: Invalid argument

The directoires I've added to the path are these:

C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\bin;C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\arm-none-symbianelf\bin;C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\libexec\gcc\arm-none-symbianelf\3.4.3;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symbian\tools

I've also makde sure that CSL Arm Toolchain is installed in
C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\ directory.

Same problem happens with FP1 after following the steps here:
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Windows_Vista

I've read in some threads that this has to do with a long file path for de mmp file, but I'v tried it directly in C:\projectname.

Additional data. This is what happens when I try to build the hello world example in FP1:

Solved: I had an error in my path so C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symbian\tools was also at the beginning BUT I still get an error when building for fp1:

Error : Cannot find file : C:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\Epoc32\release\GCCE\UREL\helloworld.exe
file I/O fault

In fact the error that the console shows me is the following:

***Invoking abld command
perl.exe -S ABLD.PL \Symbian\Carbide\workspace\helloworld\group\ target gcce urel
make -r -f "\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\EPOC32\BUILD\Symbian\Carbide\workspace\helloworld\group\GCCE.make" TARGET CFG=UREL VERBOSE=-s

Check the highlighted red lines in the "Latest Updates" section under this link: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph..._Windows_Vista

I hope that helps.

I han a similar issue and the solution is to modify the SYMBIAN_UREL_LINK_FLAGS parameter (in C:\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1\Epoc32\tools\compilation_config\gcce.mk) and to add the path where lgcc library is located. That is:

Original value:
SYMBIAN_UREL_LINK_FLAGS=$(SYMBIAN_LD_MESSAGE_OPTION) $(BPABI_OPTION) $(RELOCATABLE_IMAGE_OPTION) $(TARGET_RELOCATION_OPTION) $(UNRESOLVED_SYMBOL_REF_OPTION) $(STDLIB_OPTION) $(EXTRA_LD_OPTION)

Modified value:
SYMBIAN_UREL_LINK_FLAGS=$(SYMBIAN_LD_MESSAGE_OPTION) $(BPABI_OPTION) $(RELOCATABLE_IMAGE_OPTION) $(TARGET_RELOCATION_OPTION) $(UNRESOLVED_SYMBOL_REF_OPTION) $(STDLIB_OPTION) $(EXTRA_LD_OPTION) -L"C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\lib\gcc\arm-none-symbianelf\3.4.3"
