"Could not start application: General OS-related error" - When deploying on device

[stu62]

Hi

I couldn't see this error mentioned elsewhere, but apologies if I have missed it somewhere.

I've just got a 5230 and installed the QT Beta on my Vista Windows set up. I get this error trying to run the Animated Tiles example on the device (Simulator worked ok)

At the deploying stage I get this output:

Executable file: 113879 2010-05-07T09:24:09 C:\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\SDK\epoc32\release\gcce\udeb\animatedtiles.exe
Package: 112584 2010-05-07T23:38:34 C:\NokiaQtSDK\Examples\4.6\animation\animatedtiles\animatedtiles.sis
Deploying application to 'Nokia 5230 USB (COM15)'...

Could not start application: General OS-related error

ON the 5230 I have the the TRK App running with:

Status: Connected
Connection: USB
Port: 1

Cheers

Hi,

Apologies, I was following the procedure in "Getting Started with the Nokia Qt SDK" and somehow missed the key step of installing the qt_installer.sis to the device!
It is all working fine now
Thanks.

Did you install qt_installer.sis on the device?

[fala70]

Yes. If I install the app from ovi, and I run from dev, the app work good. The problem is when I try to deploy and run the app from QT Creator look log. Teh same app on N95 and SDK 3rd, I can deploy and run from QT Creator.

i came across to the same problem, and found out this could be solved by installing the "QT Mobility" onto the cellphone, even I didn't use any Mobility functions.
Further, I noticed there have been some posts for the
":: warning: The Symbian toolchain does not handle special characters in a project path well."
problem without a good solution. After 2 hours try-and-error, I noticed that the builder for Symbian does not like space, numeric, special characters at all, and the same warning message is shown when you create the project at the beginning (by telling the location of the resources and cpp...etc files). Though the builder wouldn't give accurate message.
