using one dll with many Apps...

[donDonald]

Hi everybody,

for example - I have two Apps( AppA& AppB ), and they both use the same( my own ) dll;

both Apps has in it's pkg file the next line:
"C:\MyLibs\CommonLib.dll"-"e:\system\libs\CommonLib.dll"

1. I instal both apps;
2. I uninstal one of them( let it be AppA )

after that I see that there is no such file e:\system\libs\CommonLib.dll -

I think that Symbian can't recognize that CommonLib.dll used with more than one application & deletes this library - after that AppB can't start because there is no dll;

how to solve this problem ? Is it possible to say to Symbian that some library is used with many apps to avoid deleteing ?

Use embedded sis file to do so, like this:


Put you dll file in a seperate sis file:
-----------------------------------------------------------
// CommonLib.pkg

...

"C:\MyLibs\CommonLib.dll" - "e:\system\libs\CommonLib.dll"
-----------------------------------------------------------



and embed it to other sis file:
-----------------------------------------------------------
// MyAppA.pkg

...

; the embedded sis file
@"CommonLib.sis",(28867485)
-----------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------
// MyAppB.pkg

...

; the embedded sis file
@"CommonLib.sis",(28867485)
-----------------------------------------------------------
