Solution |
Typically this error is related to the PATH environment variable. bldmake fails if the system32 directory in the PATH is defined using the SystemRoot variable, that is %SystemRoot%\system32 To fix this, modify the PATH to use an absolute path for \system32. For example, C:\Windows\system32 Note: With current S60 SDKs (2nd Edition and later), EPOCROOT should not be explicitly defined. Instead, the active development configuration is selected with the devices.exe utility. | |
