No .sis file created inside the Project path Folder !

[habeebomar]

Hi,
I am new in this Symbian World and i had just started this by installing the following:
----------------------------------
Carbide[1].c++_Express_1.0
j2re-1_3_1_15-windows-i586
ActivePerl-5.6.1.638-MSWin32-x86
S60 SDK 2nd Edition
----------------------------------
According to the Carbide Tutorial i had successfully created my HelloWorld
program, but when i check inside the project path folder i didnt find .sis file in it, insted the SIS folder contains a .xml and .pkg files in it.

Can anyone tell me how can i create a .sis file in Carbide ...

Thanks in Advance..

hi,

u have to make a sis file from the package file .pkg

from the commandPrompt go to

C:\Symbian\9.1\S60_3rd\S60Ex\Helloworld\sis
and give the command

makesis Helloworld.pkg

If all files and resources are specified in the package clearly then if will create the sis file in the same folder.

You can not use macros/environment variables (as EPOCROOT, TARGET, PLATFORM) in the .pkg file.
If you need this kind of flexibility, you may try creating a custom makefile (and refer it in bld.inf) that copies the files to the sis directory (using the variables), and the .pkg refers them locally.

Hi,
I replaced my .pkg code with the one you send and then i tried to create
.sis file from cmd but again the same error:
=================================
C:\symbianwork>cd Paradise
C:\symbianwork\Paradise>cd sis
C:\symbianwork\Paradise\sis>makesis Paradise.pkg
Processing Paradise.pkg...
Paradise.pkg(21) : error: file I/O fault.
=================================

After making the chnages i had used the "Build" and "Run" command..

What could be the problem...
NOTE: The application is running fine the emulator...

hi omer,

oops sometime has passed by, sorry for replying late was busy a bit.

u didn't gave the command

To then build the component for GCCE with bldmake and abld use:

> bldmake bldfiles

[B] abld build gcce [udeb | urel][QUOTE]


this will create the exe for ur application.


\Symbian\S60_3rd\Epoc32\release\gcce\urel\Paradise.exe"

It will work.

Waiting for ur confirmation.

I had this same problem a few days back. It seems I did not set the build configuration correctly to "S60 3.0 Phone (...)". I was using S60 3.0 Emulator Debug and was happily building the program and debugging it. But when I tried to look for the .sis file, it is not in the folder. After I set to "S60 3.0 Phone" and rebuild, the .sis file was created.

However I am unable to install the application in the phone. Got this "Certificate Error" problem. I am still looking for the solution.
