Plea for Link Errors:Porting Code from Fp3 to 3rd Edition

[mateen_maldar]

Hi,

I have an application working properly for FP3 devices . I want to Port it to the 3rd Edition devices.

so i'm using the metroworks IDE with the 3rd edition sdk. I removed the API's that are depricated in 3rd edition . There are no errors but link errors are generated though avkon.lib and other system libs are included in the mmp

can anyone help me in resolving the issues of link errors in 3rd edition.

There are the link errors :


Error: Could not find first lib specified with the $(var:FIRST_LIB) attribute :edll.lib

Error: Could not find first lib specified with the $(var:FIRST_LIB) attribute :edll.lib

Error: Could not find first lib specified with the $(var:FIRST_LIB) attribute :edll.lib

Link Error: alert: Operationg system error:

Link Error: MAKEDEF ERROR: C\symbian\9.1\s60_3rd\Build\symbian\9.1\s60_3rd\s60Ex\myproject\group\myproject\WINSCW\myproject_Data Inffile not found

Error: Could not find first lib specified with the $(var:FIRST_LIB) attribute :edll.lib

Error: Could not find first lib specified with the $(var:FIRST_LIB) attribute :edll.lib

Error: Could not find first lib specified with the $(var:FIRST_LIB) attribute :edll.lib

When i externally include the edll.lib to the project library from
C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd\Epoc32\release\winscw\udeb\ell.lib

It shows me 2 link errors
Link Error: Undefined Symbol: 'int _E32Dll(void *, unsigned int ,void *) (?_E32Dll .....)

Link Error: MAKEDEF ERROR: C\symbian\9.1\s60_3rd\Build\symbian\9.1\s60_3rd\s60Ex\myproject\group\myproject\WINSCW\myproject_Data Inffile not found

Plz help as i'm trying for the first time on 3rd edition sdk.

Have you modified the TARGET and TARGETTYPE to exe?

[cool_li]

There are some changes that differ between S60 2nd and 3rd Editions.
The main changes are in the application base constructor (for skin changes), new
application entry point, target type, application resource, registration, and security.
plz see the <S60 Platform: Porting from 2nd to 3rd Edition> to get the more detail information about this,.

hi, wizard_hu and cooli

Thanks for ur fast reply. I got a reply in forum for the exact reason for the errors
http://forum.newlc.com/index.php?topic=14407.new

This is the reason for the errors:

Applications in 9.x are .exes, prior to that there were dlls.
You need to create a new project accordingly and also find out the other differences
