how to use Symbian OS starter? Is there UID right problem?

[wizard_hu_]

Reading your initial post I had a feeling that your application installed, just not started on boot.
If it does not install at all, consider commenting the file-deployment lines, and uncomment them line by line, and try installing it after each modification. Then you will see where the problem appears.

this is a QT project. Should I add to my mscserver.pro file?

[Joyce An]

symbian { 
    symbianSystemInclude = "APP_LAYER_SYSTEMINCLUDE"
    autoStart = "SOURCEPATH /data" \
    "START RESOURCE [ed4be29d].rsc" \
    "TARGETPATH		/private/101f875a/import" \
    "LANG SC" \
    "END"
    MMP_RULES += autoStart
    MMP_RULES += symbianSystemInclude
    TARGET.UID3 = 0xED4BE29D
    TARGET.EPOCSTACKSIZE = 0x5000
    TARGET.EPOCHEAPSIZE = 0x20000 \
        0x1000000
    TARGET.EPOCALLOWDLLDATA = 1
    TARGET.CAPABILITY = LocalServices \
        ReadUserData \
        WriteUserData \
        NetworkServices \
        UserEnvironment \
        WriteDeviceData \
        ReadDeviceData
}

this is my mscserver.pro file.
but build it, it shows error.
error infor:
"FAILED resourcecompile for armv5_urel: epoc32\data\z\private\101f875a\import\e

Is this about .rsc file's encoding? unicode?

[skumar_rao]

Do you have "START RESOURCE [ed4be29d].rsc" that file in data folder .

[Joyce An]

???why?

[Joyce An]

yes, I did. but now the .RSC file has a problem.

[skumar_rao]

rSC file are generated from RSS using compiler i suggest you repalce with the original .rss file name in pro file

[Joyce An]

I try that, but build it, error infor is:

sbs -c armv5_urel
resource : epoc32\data\ed4be29d.rsc [armv5_urel]
FAILED resourcecompile for armv5_urel: epoc32\data\ed4be29d.rsc

1) : syntax error

[wizard_hu_]

The toolchain can not handle [], that is why all related examples and discussions generate that resource without [], and rename it in the .pkg file when deploying to the device.
It even appears in your very own post, #4

"\epoc32\data\ed4be29d.rsc" - "c:\private\101f875a\import\[ed4be29d].rsc"

[skumar_rao]

I try that, but build it, error infor is:

sbs -c armv5_urel

can you show us you modified pro file and ed4be29d.rss

[Joyce An]

now ,no error, I install it, but the mscserver.exe doesn't sart when the phone resart. Is this about UID3=0XED4BE29D ??? I think this is a problem.

[Joyce An]

my .pkg file

;server Executable and default resource files
"\epoc32\release\armv5\urel\mscserver.exe"    - "!:\sys\bin\mscserver.exe",FR,RI
"\epoc32\release\armv5\urel\mscclient.dll"    - "!:\sys\bin\mscclient.dll"
"\epoc32\data\ed4be29d.rss"                   - "c:\private\101f875a\import\[ed4be29d].rss"

my .rss file

#include <startupitem.rh>

RESOURCE STARTUP_ITEM_INFO startexe
{
	executable_name="c:\\sys\\bin\\mscserver.exe";
	recovery=EStartupItemExPolicyNone;
}

my .pro file

symbian { 
    symbianSystemInclude = "APP_LAYER_SYSTEMINCLUDE"
    autoStart = "SOURCEPATH data" \
    "START RESOURCE ed4be29d.rss" \
    "TARGETPATH		/private/101f875a/import" \
    "LANG SC" \
    "END"
    MMP_RULES += autoStart
}

[skumar_rao]

have you open /dev signed the sis file . self-sign will not work.

[Joyce An]

yes, I have developer signed.
