A HelloWorld casualty

[wirefree101]

I am attempting to run my first Symbian code - HelloWorld.mmp and am following Leigh Edward's "Developing Series 60 Applications". On Build, I get the following 2 warnings:

- CTags not installed or not in path
- Invalid project path: Include path not found (C:\workspace\HelloWorld\group)

When I select Run as->Run, a dialogue box opens. Here, however, the 'Run' button is not activated!

Would appreciate all advise on how to proceed.

cheers,

ADDITION:

I have been able to build & run the HelloWorld program on a different machine successfully. The following warnings, however, remain:

- CTags not installed or not in path
- Invalid project path: Include path not found (C:\Labs\workspace\HelloWorld\group).
- The system cannot find the file specified.[make ]

The emulator opens successfully too. But the HelloWorld application is not present in the applications menu!

Would appreciate some advise here.

cheers,

- The system cannot find the file specified.[make ]

could you please check your Active build configuration in carbide c++.
1)Right click on the helloworld project
2) move to Active Build configuration
3) Check whether Active configuration is " emulator Debug"

Joining the list of casualties

I have s60_2nd_fp2_sdk_msb installed on my system along with Perl and J2Se development kit 5 Update 9.
My Path file reads as follows
D:\Perl\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symbian\Tools;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;D:\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2\epoc32\gcc\bin\;D:\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2\epoc32\tools\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\bin;

And EPOCROOT = D:\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2

Now, when I try to run the following like at command prompt(well at D:\Symbian\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2\Series60Ex\helloworldbasic\group\ )

makmake helloworldbasic.mmp vc7

I get

"LINK.exe" is not recognised

[RahulOP]

Oops I missed out the following

"LINK.exe" is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
ERROR: failed to find version information for LINK.exe"

Please help. What am I doing wrong?

Found an old thread that helped solve my problem.

Where should I be looking for "Active Build configuration"?

2) move to Active Build configuration

This function is not available in Carbide Expresss only Developer and Pro.

To get Hello World working.
Create a new workspace name without spaces like.
C:\symbian\NewHello

"->" represents the arrow to next function or the next command.
From the main menu Select
NEW-> s60 C++ application for S60
In the new wizard window
ProjectName is required "HelloWorld"
Click "Next"
Select the s60 2.x Hello World application"
Click Next
wait for all available SDK to show in the Box
Click/tick box next to "S60_2nd_FP2_CW"
the tick next to "S60 2.6 Emulator Debug" appears
Click "Next"
In Author box enter your name
Click "Next"
In the next screen Click "Finish"

The project is now created.
"Top" means the left Window Project Explorer Pane on the word "HelloWorld",Project name.

In the left pane right click mouse on the Top Hello world.
Select Properties from near the bottom of the list
In the new properties window Click on the third down "C/C++ Build"
In the new display drop down there is a Configuration drop down,
which lets you select the build Emulator or Phone. Default is Emulator.
Click "Apply" and "OK"

In the left pane right click mouse on the Top Hello world.
Select rebuild.
Click run in background
Click console
Click Maximize screen icon and watch build take place.

When complete
In the left pane right click mouse on the Top Hello world.
Select "Debug As" -> Debug.
In the Debug window. Click Debug and debug starts.
Select HelloWorld in the emulator , same way as in phone.
Click on HelloWorld application.


Only "S60_2nd_FP2_CW" is supported in Carbide Express. I cannot see any other 2nd Edition version in the available SDK versions.
Available at

http://forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia...16-3.0-mr.html

Use the drop down and Select the 2nd Ed CW version with (150MB) at end of line.


Good Luck,
Jim
