S60-SDK3 not present in list of SDKs

[timm-ah]

Hi Zdenko - I'm glad you got it running. If we don't find the devices.xml from the common files location we check the path in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Symbian\\EPOC SDKs\\

From here we read 'CommonPath' and a REG_SZ value

I'm curious if you had anything set there becuase we don't want to force everyone to put their devices.xml file there.

Cheers,
Tim

Folks,

I am having similar problems. I tried all the suggestions given. Here are the details:

1. devices.xml is present in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symbian".
2. The contents of devices.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<devices version="1.0">
<device id="S60_3rd" name="com.nokia.s60" default="yes" userdeletable="no">
<epocroot>D:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd\</epocroot>
</device>
<device id="TK8.1b" name="com.symbian.TrainingKit">
<epocroot>D:\Symbian\TK8.1b\bin\TechView\</epocroot>
</device>
</devices>

// XML is not showing up in the post :(

3. However strangely, Carbide.c++ is error logging this (under Window -> Show View -> Other -> PDE Runtime -> Error Log):

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symbian\devices.xml (The system cannot find the file specified)

Not sure why Carbide.c++ is not finding the file!

Please help!

Thanks.

Hi,

In what way similar? What exactly is the problem you are seeing?

The Symbian SDK (D:\Symbian\TK8.1b\bin\TechView\
) will not work with Carbide.c++ Express in any case so you could try to remove it from devices.xml (not that it should have any effect).

Also note that errors posted into the Error log can mostly be ignored unless you are seeing some other issue.. Build etc related issue will show up in the "Problems" view or show in the "Console" view.

Sorry for not mentioning the problem. I am having the same problem as posted in the title. Carbide.c++ is not finding any SDKs (I think its coz its complaining its not able to find devices.xml though the file is where its supposed to be!!).

When I goto Window -> Preferences -> Carbide.c++ -> SDK Preferences I get a popup saying "No SDKs were found. Make sure you have a valid devices.xml file or defined SDK."

I understand the Symbian SDK (TK8.1) will not work with Carbide.c++. However I am expecting the S60 (V9.1) SDK from nokia should work!

Here is the devices.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<devices version="1.0">
  <device id="S60_3rd" name="com.nokia.s60" default="yes" userdeletable="no">
    <epocroot>D:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd\</epocroot>
  </device>
  <device id="TK8.1b" name="com.symbian.TrainingKit">
    <epocroot>D:\Symbian\TK8.1b\bin\TechView\</epocroot>
  </device>
</devices>

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong...

OK I have gotten over the problem. I uninstalled S60 SDK and reinstalled it again. So the order of installs was wrong earlier (I had installed S60 SDK first and then Symbian TK8.1). The devices.xml that S60 SDK install creates is little different from the one TK8.1 creates and I think this causes a problem with Carbide.c++. However the error message of Carbide.c++ is misleading!

Here is the devices.xml that works:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<devices version="1.0">
<device id="TK8.1b" name="com.symbian.TrainingKit" default="no" userdeletable="">
<epocroot>D:\Symbian\TK8.1b\bin\TechView\</epocroot>
</device>
<device id="S60_3rd" name="com.nokia.s60" default="yes" userdeletable="no">
<epocroot>D:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd\</epocroot>
</device>
</devices>

Your problem in the devices.xml (actually Carbide's problem) what that it was expecting there to be a 'default' attribute for each SDK. If you don't add a default attribute the parser would fail and not move on to the next SDK. This has been fixed, but for now the workaround is to add this attrib back in if it doesn't exist (I don't think DevKit installers add this).
