Symbian ^3 0.8 and Qt 4.6.3 wont work together without patching wont link

[jimgilmour1]

Hi,
There have been quite a few people asking to use Symbian ^ 3 with Qt 4.6.3 in the Qt SDK and Tools discussion.

My finding are

C:\Qt\4.6.3\examples\webkit\simpleselector>make  -f "\Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbia
n3_SDK_v0.8\EPOC32\BUILD\Qt\4.6.3\examples\webkit\simpleselector\SIMPLESELECTOR_
0XA000D7CC\GCCE\SIMPLESELECTOR_0XA000D7CC.GCCE" UREL
C:\Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbian3_SDK_v0.8\epoc32\tools\make.exe: *** No rule to make 
target `\Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbian3_SDK_v0.8\epoc32\release\gcce\urel\qtmain.lib', needed by `\Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbian3_SDK_v0.8\epoc32\release\gcce\urel\simpleselector.exe'.  Stop.

This SDK is going to the wrong path even though the correct paths is given.
See below when I put a copy of qtmain.lib in \Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbian3_SDK_v0.8\epoc32\release\gcce\urel\qtmain.lib' the linker started.

C:\Qt\4.6.3\examples\webkit\simpleselector>make  -f "\Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbia
n3_SDK_v0.8\EPOC32\BUILD\Qt\4.6.3\examples\webkit\simpleselector\SIMPLESELECTOR_
0XA000D7CC\GCCE\SIMPLESELECTOR_0XA000D7CC.GCCE" UREL
checklib stdc++ --elf \Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbian3_SDK_v0.8\epoc32\release\ARMV5\urel\qtmain.lib

The lib exists at "\Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbian3_SDK_v0.8\epoc32\release\ARMV5\urel\qtmain.lib"

Finally the compiler (linker) coughs an unfixable error

\Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbian3_SDK_v0.8\epoc32\release\gcce\urel\qtmain.lib(qts60main_mcrt0.o): In function `BuildAttributes$$ARM_ISAv6$M$E$P$PE$A:L22$X:L11$S22$

There appears only one reference on the Dibo see http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ined-reference

No matter how many libraries or versions used this will not link
the file simpleselector.exe is not created . A map is created but I cannot see any errors in this.


Thanks,
Jim

If you have some time, you could try using std::exception separately (without Qt magic), even re-using code from the referred thread (it has inline methods only). If that can not work, Qt has little chances.
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/blobs/...main_mcrt0.cpp and http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/blobs/...bal.h#line2459 seem to be rather harmless, std::exception is required for a simple catch.

Hi,
I think I will just wait. I am quite happy with Nokia Qt SDK. Just wanted to see if there was simple fix like copying a couple of files around.
Unless I get an N8 given to me, unlikely ;-). This will not worry me.
Thanks,
Jim

Finally after rebuilding on a new clean system I seem to have an answer.
Install the nokia symbian ^3
Next install Qt 4.6.3-2 which pickups the S^3 install

Must be the LATEST version of Qt Symbian!

cd C:\Qt\4.6.3\examples\webkit\simpleselector

C:\Qt\4.6.3\examples\webkit\simpleselector>qmake simpleselector.pro

make release-gcce

C:\Qt\4.6.3\examples\webkit\simpleselector>make release-gcce
bldmake bldfiles
BLDMAKE ERROR: Can't find any RVCT installation.
C:\Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbian3_SDK_v0.8\epoc32\tools\make.exe: *** [ABLD.BAT] E

This error means remove ARM5 and ARM6 from bld.inf

now builds file but wont link as before

make[1]: *** [TARGETSIMPLESELECTOR_0XA000D7CC] Error 2

copy qtmain.lib from C:\Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbian3_SDK_v0.8\epoc32\release\armv6\urel\qtmain.lib

to C:\Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbian3_SDK_v0.8\epoc32\release\gcce\urel\qtmain.lib

simpleselector.exe now links

and


C:\Qt\4.6.3\examples\webkit\simpleselector>make sis

works
make -s -f Makefile ok_sis
Processing simpleselector_release-gcce.pkg...
Created simpleselector_unsigned.sis.
Successfully created simpleselector.sis for release-gcce using certificate: Self
Signed!

C:\Qt\4.6.3\examples\webkit\simpleselector>


So thats the two problems
1) turning off ARM5 and ARM6 support
2) copy the ARM6 qtmain.lib NOT the ARM5 qtmain.lib as in the README.txt install notes to another place path

Of course I cannot test this as I dont have a N8 phone to test on!!.

Jim
