STL example of 5th SDK version doesn't install on my N73...

[lucafr]

Hi,

i have compiled succesfully my old 3rd edition SDK project with the new SDK 5th edition. It compiled, installed and worked on the phone.

The phone is my old N73.

I have compiled the STL example of 5th S60 SDK. It compiled but didn't install.

The first problem is that the installation fails without giving me any information at all. It simply says that can't install the app (i selected the phone memory as the destination for the app, as always).
The app is signed with the key, certificate pair used for my previous project.
How can i understand what is happening?

The second problem is that i am writing an application that uses STL a lot. So i need support for STL.
It seems to me that STL is supported with 5th edition of the SDK, but i would like to know: if my old working 3rd edtion SDK app starts to use the 5th edition SDK + STL, will i be able to install it on every phone, as before?

Thank you,
Luca

PS.
Since STL is a software lib, the answer, in my mind, is "yes, of course". Maybe the I/O part of STL could be problematic, but can't think of serious problems with STL working on N73 or even older devices.

Software developed with an 1.5 years old SDK is not expected to run flawlessly on a 4.5 years old device, using 3 generations older version of the platform.
Otherwise S60 5th is the first release which comes with built-in STL support, for older S60 versions you have to download the Open C/C++ plugin, Library above, Tools and downloads, Find more tools, Tools for Symbian C++ development. It will deploy the headers and libraries into the SDK, and it will create a nokia_plugin folder next to the epoc32, containing the installers of the runtime libraries, examples and documentation.
You should use S60 3rd MR SDK for the N73.

Hi wizard_hu_,
thx for your reply. I have finally managed to compile my old project including Eigen library (a library for vector/matrix manipulation), which uses STL a lot.
I have installed it succesfully on my N73.
All using the 5th edition of the SDK.

The problem is that in this way the application don't start. Probably it search for a file that can't fin (like a DLL).

I am thinking of using STL port in order to substitute the STL built-in implementation of the 5th edition S60 SDK.

If you want to make your life harder, why not?

Otherwise, try reading the very beginning and the very end of #2 once more. It is not the Open C/C++ / STL part causing the problem.

Hi,

ok, i have installed what you said. Now i can compile and install my old project and install it succesfully (with 3rd edition as with 5th edition).
The problem is that the app doesn't start. This as the library that i use:


// STL support
//LIBRARY libstdcpp.lib
//LIBRARY libpthread.lib
//LIBRARY libc.lib
LIBRARY euser.lib
LIBRARY efsrv.lib
LIBRARY hal.lib
LIBRARY apparc.lib
LIBRARY cone.lib
LIBRARY eikcore.lib
LIBRARY avkon.lib
LIBRARY ws32.lib
LIBRARY commonengine.lib
LIBRARY ECam.lib
LIBRARY fbscli.lib
LIBRARY libgles_cm.lib
LIBRARY estlib.lib
LIBRARY mediaclientaudio.lib
LIBRARY midiclient.lib
LIBRARY mediaclientaudiostream.lib

STATICLIBRARY vorbis.lib theora.lib libogg.lib ecrt0.lib


If i uncomment the line

//LIBRARY libstdcpp.lib

e and rebuild the project, the application doens't start. If i comment that line, the application start.
Note that i am not even using STL. I wanted just to link the necessary .lib.

Any idea of what am i doing wrong?

Ps.
I have installed the file STDCPP_s60_1_7_SS.sis on my N73.

Trying to get an error message is always a good idea: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ded_panic_code

Hi,

i have installed YTask and from what i see there is a Panic of type Kill with reason 0 in the thread Main of the application.

My app start in this way:



LOCAL_C CApaApplication* NewApplication()
{
return new CColourTrackerApplication;
}

GLDEF_C TInt E32Main()
{
return EikStart::RunApplication( NewApplication );
}


If i dont link the library libstdcpp.lib it works. Otherwise, not.
Maybe i have to link some other library?

[wizard_hu_]

Are you compiling the code with S60 3rd MR SDK?

[lucafr]

I am using the S60 3rd edition FP2. I compile it using a phone GCCE release configuration.
Do you think that using s60 3rd MR sdk it will works?

[wizard_hu_]

Yes. And it will also show if you happen to use API-s which simply do not exist in your FP-less S60 3rd devices - which would obviously prevent execution.

[lucafr]

Hi wizard_hu,

sorry to bother you again. I have installed the SDK 3rd edition MR, as you said. Re-installed the nokia plugin for that SDK, recompiled all the code (it worked).
Installed the app and launched it.
It didn't work (panic in thread main with reason 0, as with the other SDK).

What am i doing wrong??

Lets think: i dont directly call any method present in libstdcpp.lib (it compile without it without changing anything).
So it must be a sort of DLL-missing problem.
Or maybe there is some static-initialization code that cause the app to fail...

[lucafr]

Ok, it now work. I have forgotten to install the nokia plugins for OpenC (i had only installed the plugin for OpenC++) :P
Now, after having installed all possible plugiins, it works.

Thx for support.
Luca
