Porting an Application to S60 3rd edition

[som_mukhopadhyay]

I have found that the following are the major steps in porting an Application from S60 2nd edition to S60 3rd edition.

1. Add the following lines in the Resource file..
#ifdef EKA2
RESOURCE LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO r_ecomcalculator_localisable_app_info
{
short_caption = "<AppName>";
caption_and_icon =
CAPTION_AND_ICON_INFO
{
caption = "<Caption>";
number_of_icons = 2;
icon_file = "resource\\apps\\<AppName>.mbm";
};
}
#endif
2. change the mmp file to contain the following things

START RESOURCE <AppName>.rss
HEADER
TARGETPATH resource\apps
END //RESOURCE

START RESOURCE <AppName>_reg.rss
#ifdef WINSCW
TARGETPATH \private\10003a3f\apps
#else
TARGETPATH \private\10003a3f\import\apps
#endif
END //RESOURCE
3. Create the <AppNAme>_reg.rss file


#include <appinfo.rh>

#include <EComCalculator.rsg>


UID2 KUidAppRegistrationResourceFile

UID3 0xA00001E8

RESOURCE APP_REGISTRATION_INFO
{
app_file = "<AppName>";

localisable_resource_file = "\\resource\\apps\\<AppName>";

localisable_resource_id = R_<AppName>_LOCALISABLE_APP_INFO;

embeddability = KAppNotEmbeddable;

newfile = KAppDoesNotSupportNewFile;
}
4. create the .mk file

5. refer the .mk file in the bld.inf.

If somebody has got any other info please add here.
