Symbian types are Unknown in Qt

[ehsanTC]

Hi guys
I am absolutely new in symbian programing and I started it whith Qt IDE. I want to use some symbian classes like CTelephony and some other primitive types(TInt, ... ) in my application. but none of them are recognized as true types.
What should I do to futher my project?

You should excuse me if my question is very trivial.
Thanks.

You should find your answers here and here.

Do note that you symbian code / types / apis only will be recognized for Symbian.C++ platform alone. So it is always suggested to use macros to put in your symbian code

Thank you kamalakshan and skumar_rao

1-for adding the library to the project I followed the Qt Docs instruction, but the problem is still unsolved.
2-and if Mr. skumar_rao could write me a small piece of code to clarify his idea, I would be so thankful.

Regards.

what i meant is using like this

#ifdef Q_OS_SYMBIAN
CTelephony* iTelephony;
#endif

[kamalakshan]

Sunil is referring to use macros like this

#if defined(Q_OS_SYMBIAN)
//Your Symbian API Code
#else
// Non Symbian Code if any
#endif

Hi dudes
I followed your instructions but got these errors:

:-1: error: cannot find -letel3rdpartyd
:-1: error: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Hi dudes
I followed your instructions but got these errors:

:-1: error: cannot find -letel3rdpartyd
:-1: error: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

can you show your pro file.

Hi dudes
I followed your instructions but got these errors:

:-1: error: cannot find -letel3rdpartyd
:-1: error: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

You probably have not included the lib properly in the .pro file.

Check this thread for how it has to be done.

Hi friends
This is my .pro file

QT       += core

QT       -= gui

TARGET = poiters
CONFIG   += console
CONFIG   -= app_bundle

TEMPLATE = app
HEADERS += etel3rdparty.h


SOURCES += main.cpp


win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../QtSDK/Symbian/SDKs/Symbian3Qt472/epoc32/release/armv5/lib/ -letel3rdparty
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../QtSDK/Symbian/SDKs/Symbian3Qt472/epoc32/release/armv5/lib/ -letel3rdpartyd
else:symbian: LIBS += -letel3rdparty

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../QtSDK/Symbian/SDKs/Symbian3Qt472/epoc32/release/armv5
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../QtSDK/Symbian/SDKs/Symbian3Qt472/epoc32/release/armv5

symbian|win32: LIBS += -letel3rdparty

I don't know why the etle3rdparty.lib is still unknown, but I know it is making me mad.
Thanks for your help.

Dear kamalakshan
Could you make a simple project that uses the etel3rdparty.lib and if it completely worked then write for me your steps one by one?

[skumar_rao]

win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../QtSDK/Symbian/SDKs/Symbian3Qt472/epoc32/release/armv5/lib/ -letel3rdparty
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../QtSDK/Symbian/SDKs/Symbian3Qt472/epoc32/release/armv5/lib/ -letel3rdpartyd
else:symbian: LIBS += -letel3rdparty

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../QtSDK/Symbian/SDKs/Symbian3Qt472/epoc32/release/armv5
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../QtSDK/Symbian/SDKs/Symbian3Qt472/epoc32/release/armv5

symbian|win32: LIBS += -letel3rdparty

all these are not required only thing you required is

symbian|win32: LIBS += -letel3rdparty as there is no etel3rdparty for win32

[ehsanTC]

Hi
After removing the lines you said, the compiler raises an error in the main.cpp for the below declaration:

#include<Etel3rdparty.h>

do not I need to add

SOURCES += etel3rdparty.cpp

in the .pro file?

[skumar_rao]

do you have your own etel3rdparty.cpp .. then nothing to say

[ehsanTC]

It was just a question
