[manish_mishra2005]

Hi,
I am manish.I am using Carbide.c++ professional edition and
symbian s60 second eddition fp3 version 8.1.
when i build my code it gives me 2 errors;
1. No library file found matching 'libedll.lib{.lib|.a}' or 'edll.lib'.
2. Specified file '.lib' not found.
Can anyone please help me to solve this problem?
a lot of thanks in advance.

here is my build file output :

check whether you have included proper/valid libraried in your mmp file and also in your project properties -> c++ build -> Wincw c/c++ linker -> libraries.

seems like you have included a unknown library..something like libedll.lib

Thanks very much for ur sugession

these are the lib files which are
in the project properties-> c/c++ build-> winscw c/c++ linker->
and also in my .mmp file

edll.lib
euser.lib
apparc.lib
cone.lib
eikcore.lib
avkon.lib
eikcoctl.lib

I havan't included the libedll.lib.

Hello fellow developers,

any resolution to this library not found error?

I've moved from Carbide.C++ express to Carbide.C++ dev. This error never eventuated on "express" but on "dev" I can't get rid of it.

I've tried adding(and deleting) different libraries but with no joy.

Any help, as always, is much appreciated. Someone please make my $600 NZD expenditure to buy Carbide.C++ Dev worth the pain I'm currently experiencing.

Ciao,

S60N

PS: Carbide.C++ Dev is worth it in regards to the GUI stuff, would be nice if everything else functioned too.

This seems to be a Carbide.C++ Dev IDE farkup as my application IS compiled (even though it complains that it is not).

If anyone else has any thoughts on this I'd like to hear from you. But I would tentatively say that this error can be ignored.
