Basic Problems with CW wizard

[mikfi]

Hello,
I’ve bought the license for CW Professional edition 3.1 and I am using it with SDK S60_3rd.
I’m becamong mad on the attempt of creating an app using the wizard:
Either it doesn’t compile, or the application is not visible in emulator!

I succeeded in this step with Eclipse + carbide (so the assumption is that the environment is properly set up),
but I need to use CW for remote debugging.

I hope someone could help me.

Approach 1: Create an application with the Wizard in CW.
============================================
. I select S60 S60_3rd + S60 APP (since I would like GUI).
. Platform WINSCW

The project is created, but ‘make’ fails complaining about:
‘undefined identifier TDllReason’

1a) My understanding is that I can remove it since is not used anymore in SDK 3.0.
Then it compiles but the application is not visible from emulator.

1b) I can replace it (as Eclipse does) with :
GLDEF_C TInt E32Main()
{
return EikStart::RunApplication( NewApplication );
}

Result: COMPILES OK, BUT APPLICATION NOT VISIBLE IN EMULATOR


Approach 2: create an application from Eclipse and import it
=============================================
This solution is kindly described here:
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=81519
but the freezing fails (about ?NewApplication@@YAPAVCApaApplication@@XZ @1 )
this fails even if I edit the .def file, and if I lunch the command line totol
abld freeze & abld build winscw udeb

Result: DOESN’T COMPILE.


Apporach 3: import the helloworld basic
==============================
It works. The main .cpp file has the same E32Main().

There are differences in the .mmp file (as specified in porting SDK 2 FP3 -> SDK 3 document):
Helloworld target is an .exe rather then .app, capabilities are required etc….


Approach 4: fixing generated code following helloworld code example
====================================================
. create a GUI application for S60 GUI
. replace TDllReason with E32Main as above
. change in .mmp file the target from .app to .exe and other things as specified in porting documentation
. re-import .mmp file
Result: COMPILES OK, BUT APPLICATION NOT VISIBLE IN EMULATOR

Does anyone knows why?

Hi,

Read pdf file for porting 2nd edition to 3rd edition, and follow with step by step.

Hi,

you probably didn't bother to read my whole post (too long?
Indeed in the approach #3 I've mentioned that I've been following the "convertion" steps as described in porting from sdk 2 to 3 document.
But in my particular case (empty and new application) they were not so many: just the .mmp file is involved, together with .cpp for the entry point change.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for your attempt anyway,
mik

You are heading in the right direction I think (in 3rd edition, applications are .exe-s, etc.), but you have probably missed one important nuance: 3rd edition applications have an additional resource file which has the TARGETPATH \private\10003a3f\apps, usually having the name ApplicationName_reg.rss. This resource is inevitable for having the application displayed in the menu.

This starts to be funny….

Right, as wizard_hu says the FILE_reg.rss is needed.
Indeed my .mmp file specifies:
[..]
START RESOURCE my_reader_reg.rss
#ifdef WINSCW
TARGETPATH \private\10003a3f\apps
#else
TARGETPATH \private\10003a3f\import\apps
#endif
END //RESOURCE

According to my understanding this should be enough.
However no .rss file is created in TARGETPATH as it is supposed to. And moving there the file created inside <the projectName>\group dir doesn’t help.
Note: if I add the word “HEADER” it doesn’t neither create the .rss file in \Epoc32\include directory.

What I am curious about is the behaviour of Eclipse + Carbide: the .rss file is NOT created in \private\10003a3f\apps, however it is created in \Epoc32\include and the application it is visible in emulator.

I wonder what I am missing….
