Need help with the .pro file for symbian...

[Skinney]

Ok. So I want to publish my symbian app to the ovi store, but as far as i can tell, i need to add a couple of things to my .pro file first...

This is what it says currently:

#-------------------------------------------------
#
# Project created by QtCreator 2011-01-09T06:49:06
#
#-------------------------------------------------

QT       += core gui xml network
CONFIG += mobility
MOBILITY += bearer

TARGET = EpisodeNext
TEMPLATE = app
ICON = icon.svg

SOURCES += ...lots of sources here

HEADERS  += ...lots of headers here

FORMS    += ...lots of forms here...

symbian {
    TARGET.CAPABILITY += NetworkServices
    TARGET.EPOCSTACKSIZE = 0x14000
    TARGET.EPOCHEAPSIZE = 0x020000 0x800000

    packageheader = "$${LITERAL_HASH}{\"Episode Next \"}, (0x20myUid), 1, 0, TYPE=SA"

    vendorinfo = \
     "%{\"H2Programming\"}" \
     ":\"H2Programming\""

    my_deployment.pkg_prerules = packageheader vendorinfo
    DEPLOYMENT += my_deployment
}

Of course, this doesn't compile. If i remove everything from packageheader and down, it compiles, but I have a sneaky feeling i need at least vendor-info, UID and version number in there somewhere... Little help? The diffrent tutorials I could find didn't really make sense to me...

I just had a quick look and there do seem to be some misleading and half-finished tutorials on the wiki.

For the UID, you want to set TARGET.UID3 - if the binary doesn't match the package header then it won't install.

Which step fails to compile? I'd suggest comparing the standard generated .pkg file with the one that has your pkg_prerules added and see what's going wrong. That's going to be faster than us trying to debug it for you on a discussion board.

If you don't understand what's going wrong, look up the package file syntax in the Symbian developer library here on Forum Nokia.

Hope that helps,
Mark

I believe there are three numbers before TYPE and pre_rules lines must be separated with new line feed.

    
my_deployment.pkg_prerules = "&EN" \
  "$${LITERAL_HASH}{\"DummyName\"},(0x0010D003),1,01,12,TYPE=SISAPP" \
  "%{\"H2Programming\"} :\"H2Programming\""
DEPLOYMENT += my_deployment

Thanks divanov, that did it
