Linker Path Problem (ld.exe)

[alexbirkett]

I am using Carbide Professional edition and the S60 S.8 Phone (ARMI) Release SDK. The command line passed to the linker includes the path C:\Symbian\8.1a\S60_2nd_FP3\epoc32\release\jecttype\urel which does not exist. This causes the linker to fail. Does anybody know why? Is this a buffer overrun? 'jecttype' is part of the string 'projecttype'.

ld.exe output below.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi,
I believe that for some reason when the SDK package installer created the package for S60 2nd Ed FP3 the path was not installed correctly.

check in "C:\Symbian\8.1a\S60_2nd_FP3\Epoc32\release\armi\urel"
for the file edllstub.lib.

Check that the file is labelled "LIBRARY edllstub.lib" in the MMP file
I think its looking in our project and the value may because the enviroment is incorrect and only the last 8 characters are used as in EPOCROOT.

I have build a new helloWorld using the Menu and it worked.
In a new project workspace

File ->NeW -> "Symbian OS C++ Project"
project name (Your projectname)perhaps "logserver"
bottom of list select "S60 2.x Hello world GUI application"
Select S60_2nd_Ed_FP3
Select Active Config and Select S60 Phone
Select Rebuild

It would seem that your makefile is not correctly generated.
Good Luck,

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your post.

edllstub.dll is in the right location. I followed your instructions and created a project. It worked fine. Also, I have not explicity added edllstub.lib to my mmp file. I think Carbide passes it to the linker automatically. I have pasted the linker output for the test project and my broken project below (note the dodgy JECTTYPE Directory):

This is the relevant part of my makefile. It seems to be pretty broken!

Hi,
the first line in the make file is

C:/Symbian/8.1a/S60_2nd_FP3/epoc32/release/JECTTYPE/UREL/logserver.sym: $(IN_OBJS) $(EXP_OBJS) $(USER_OBJS)

This make file is generated by the selection of the "phone configuration". I suspect that this comes from inside carbide.

I would try creating this in a new carbide workspace and import the code again as you may have some problem in your workspace that cannot be.

From the File menu Click switch workspace select a new name without spaces and clear the "use this as default".

import your source using mmp file, import your project .pkg file

Select to build with emulator, build the emulator version.
Go back and select phone version, build with phone version.

Check the make file and see if its the same as before.

Good Luck,
Jim
