Linking on Symbian OS 9.1 - error E1035 from elf2e32 tool

[juliand77]

Im attempting to link with a third party library for a project we are developing on Symbian OS 9.1.

It seems you need to use the elf2e32 tool to convert libraries into the new E32Image format required for 9.1

However, running the tool complains with an Undefined Symbol error:

"elf2e32 : Error: E1035: Undefined Symbol AABytesToTimeMs found in ELF File AACommon.a."

After doing a readelf -a to get details of the AACommon.a file, the symbol AABytesToTimeMs is detailed as being in the "relocation section" of the elf file.

What does this actually mean and can anyone tell me how to resolve this so that I can get the elf2e32 tool to convert the library?

Many Thanks

Same problem here... Damn I hate symbian, full of bugs and no f***ing info nowhere...

FYI, to get around this I had to just get the original source for the library and compile it myself using Symbians toolchain in order to be able to link with it. So if you can do that, you might be able to get somewhere.

Would be interested to hear if you manage to solve it some other way though!

Hi,

Have you seen the documentation here?

http://www.symbian.com/developer/tec...elf2e32%2emain

Errors in the relocation section might suggest that the library you were given is compiled for ARM ABIv1?? There are lots of changes to relocation between v1 and v2 and rebuilding with your toolchain fixes it... Just a guess though.
