Symbian Compression libs

[mms007]

hi,

im newbie in Qt Symbian

im working on QtNokia SDK to target Symbian

to make a project to compress and decompress files and folders

i found Compressing and decompressing GZIP files
it uses
-lefsrv
-lezlib.lib

while compiling i got error

:: error: No rule to make target `\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\SDK\epoc32\release\ARMV5\udeb\efsrv.lib', needed by `\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\SDK\epoc32\release\gcce\udeb\testZip.exe'. Stop.

any solution

regards,

after cleaning and building the project

i got error in ezlib.dso

:: error: No rule to make target `\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\SDK\epoc32\release\armv5\LIB\ezlib.dso', needed by `\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\SDK\epoc32\release\gcce\udeb\testZip.exe'. Stop.

I suggest using many Qt zip libraries then using Symbian one, one i have used in past is QuaZip ..

if you still want to stick with ezlib then you can search in NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\SDK\epoc32\release\armv5\LIB\ for ezlib if you did not find it there then olny other way is to copy those missing libs from Symbian All-In One SDKs for Symbian^1

My recollection is that the .dso file is the "front end" of the .dll. It needs to be bound into your executable for the .dll to be linked at runtime.

I don't offhand know where this .dso should be found, but you need to find it in your development environment and make sure the build can find it (probably by adding a -L clause to your LIBS).

Or else it may be that you aren't linking to a .dll, but rather to a .lib. In that case you (curiously) should leave the ".lib" off the lib name in the LIBS statement.

about QuaZip
its webSite says
" Requirements
Just zlib and Qt 4. Well, Qt 4 depends on zlib anyway."

which is the problem that zlib is missing
, right or i understand it in a wrong way ?

looks like i missed the part where Nokia Qt SDK says (Partially support Symbian). I suggest you copy those files from S60 5th edition SDK

Of course, the other option is to download zlib or gzip source and use that. I recommend zlib since it's license is the least restrictive/confusing (and I've used it in a couple of projects with no difficulty).
