Hi All,

If you have read the miniguide

http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3281

and are having problems getting things to work please discuss here, I shall try to answer as much as I can, hopefully others will help too :-)

Cheers

I had a go at compliling the hello world example with not much luck :cry:

it seems like I need nmake and I dont have it, I believe it comes with VC6?

So do i need VC6 to use the Series60 SDK?


Thanx, Stu

Yes nmake comes with VC6 but you can also download it from microsoft for free! I dont know if it will work for sure standalone but you could try! If I am not mistaken it is a self-extracting exe file called nmake15.exe or something that will create the original name.exe and other files as well!

Hi all,

I too recently tried going through the motions of creating the HelloWorld SIS file, everything worked (i.e. installation / creating the system files etc) but for some reason the HelloWorld icon didn't appear, so I couldn't run it from the phone.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Tsu

oops, one other thing....

in order for me to make the sis files, I need to edit the file names in the HelloWorld package to show the full path, instead of relational path to the .pkg file.

Getting stuck at the HelloWorld stage of any new language usually sends me packing :P

Have u tried to power-cycle your phone? If yes are you sure the installation was completed? Have u tried it on the emulator to see if it works there? Give more details if you like...

I downloaded nmake and still no luck :cry:

looks like i also need link.exe lookin at the errors

has anyone managed to get it to work without VC6 installed???

Thanx, Stu

find it and launch it yourself in the system/apps dir

Getting stuck at the HelloWorld stage of any new language usually sends me packing :P

I know the feeling got stuck on HelloWorld 2

find it and launch it yourself in the system/apps dir

Tried that via SeleQ, there were two files in the HelloWorld directory.
When I tried to run them, I got an error saying that no file association existed for the .app extention.

For some reason, in the emulator, I could see the HelloWorld icon and could run it, although there were no menus assigned to the softkeys(I still had "Hello World" text in the center of the screen).

I am currently downloading service pack 5 for visual studio (just noticed a warning message when i was running the "abld makefile" command. Saying that I should be using at least sp3).

Going to mess around with this over the weekend, hopefully. Should get some better results then.

Only problem I see after using all the examples in the SDK help files is that I still won't have a clue how to actually write an app from scratch, MaleBuffy posted a link to a half decent book being released around 24th of this month which I will no doubt get. (there is a special offer if bought with another Symbian book).

Until then...

Hi Flanders,

Just updated the mini guide on the VC6 dependancy,

You will need VC6 if you want to compile for the emulator since it uses the compiler form VC6. If you want to compile directly for the phone then you will be able to do so without vc6 since the gcc compiler for the phone is bundled along with the SDK. Let us know how you go ?

Bye.

:cry:

I think I will wait and see if I can get hold of VC6, I dont fancy having to install everytime to the phone to test.

I'll have to stick to j2me for now, anyone got any good j2me source code examples? :D

Stu

Flanders try OPL instad of J2ME it's faster and requires less memory, at least if you want to program for the 9210, otherwise you'll have to use J2ME for the 7650 :)

The J2ME SDK From Nokia should have some useful examples I think..

I dont know much about the SDK, it is around 40MB download. Let us know how you get along with it ..

Flanders,

I think, I've missed something since the forum was shutdown ..., what is exactly your problem ?? I can compile everything from the nokia CD from UiKon to Avkon (series 60) and run them on the devices without any problem (or with a little modification of the project)

Domi.

Hi,

Have you tried to compile for the VC6 with this command:

makmake app_name vc6

This usually works and makmake is an utility of active perl (this comes along with the SDK).

app_name is the name of the mmp file.

Good luck.

One thought - what UID did you use for the app? All Symbian apps have to have a unique ID, and if you've already got something installed on the phone (or even in the emulator!) that's using that UID then the second app
wont appear in the launcher. Probably a wild shot but you never know
:roll:

Hi, I recently installed series60 sdk and VC++ .Net. I wonder where should I begin? I have been reading the documents and forums but still lost. Do I write the program using VC++ or the Series60 SDK? Seems to me that Series60 is only for UI design and compiling applications.

I am new to both Symbian and VC++. Please help. Thanks.

Hi, anyone know how to compile with VC .Net?

for VC6 is abld makefile vc6, what about for .Net?

.NET is not supported unfortunatelly, so you're on your own. I know there are people who managed to make it work with .NET ... so at least it's not impossible.
Besides Symbian has chosen to go CodeWarrior's way, so you won't see any more dependancies on MS compilers&IDE in the future.

VF Live!

VF Live!

I would also like to know how to use VS .NET to develop for the symbian os.... please, oh mighty gurus, help these porr and lonely newbies in their quest to compile with .NET!!

:)

I found this, and with it I can use .net to compile and run (not sure what the last part does, though)


Question:
Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 is no longer supported by Microsoft, can I use Visual Studio .NET with Symbian OS SDKs?

Answer:
Visual Studio .NET is not officially supported for use with any Symbian OS SDKs. However, based on feedback from some developers who have experimented with it, you may find that using the following steps you can get your SDK to work correctly.

After doing abld makefile vc6 as usual, open the generated .dsp file. Visual C++ .NET will convert it to the new "solution" format (.sln). You will now need to change some compiler settings. Right click on the project name and bring up the Project Properties dialog. Under the C/C++ heading, set the following options as shown:

Code Generation
Enable C++ Exceptions No
Buffer Security Check No
Command Line
Additional Options /QIfist

This should remove all compiler/linker errors and warnings.

You also need to make sure your PATH environment variable is correctly setup. If you've upgraded from Visual Studio 6.0 then you should change the entries like C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin; to point to the new Visual Studio .NET installation, something like C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .net\VC7\Bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .net\Common7\IDE;.

To enable command line builds to complete properly, you will also need to add the /QIfist flag to \epoc32\tools\cl_win.pm. The exact form of this varies with the SDK that's installed but in general it will look something like this:

&main::Output(
"CLFLAGS = /nologo /Zp4 /W4 /QIfist"
);

Or

&main::Output(
"CLFLAGS =",
" /nologo", # suppress "sign-on" banner message
" /Zp4", # packs structures on 4 byte boundaries
" /GF", # Pools strings and places them in ead-only memory
" /QIfist" # fixes _ftol2 link errors with Visual C++ .net
);

This is exactly what happens to me too, except that it isn't the HelloWorld example, but an app I've made myself. I have tried (almost) everything, changed uid, icons, call to aif in mmp file, etc etc, but all in vain... I have a couple of Nokia examples which work! And still I can't get my app to work though I have compared those examples with my app to the last character ;) It is really annoying! :( I can start my app using FExplorer, but no icon appears on the phone...

Finally I found out what was causing my problems! It turned out to be this line in the documentation that I needed to find, hehe:

"To appear on the shell, GUI applications must be run from the \system\apps\appname\ directory"

For ex: An app called "myApp" must be installed in the "\system\apps\myApp" directory or the shell icon won't appear! Feels a bit strange, couldn't image that to be a "must" ;)

hello talk2sk,the ling of magnititude was not working,giving 404 Error:

-i have just downloaded symbian v7 sdk, and I am planning to use it with VC++ ver 6
i have read symbian documentation link ,particularly this link

http://www.symbian.com/developer/techlib/v70docs/SDL_v7.0/doc_source/DevGuides/HandsOnCpp.html#OSGuide%2eHandsOnCpp


regarding c++ development,since they didnt show the actually Hello World program so don`t know about coding structure but i want to know that how UID is assigned in mmp file?
can any of you give a sime Hello world example (from writing code to building and installation of application)..

-Second thing that i want to ask that is there any good book for Beginners
specially for V7?

thanks in advance
it would be very helpful

hi i encouter problems compiling de cam api that i download from the ericsson mobility site.... its de latest version

Hi guys,
i read the miniguide "getting started", but, in this point, i got an error (i have vc6 installed):

Next run 'makmake HelloWorld vc6' (The documentation suggests to use abld, but I found this easier).

the error:

"perl" non è riconosciuto come comando interno o esterno,
Is Perl, version 5.003_07 or later, installed?


I read also this in the miniguide:

This install will also install a Java Runtime environment (1.3 I Think). It will also install ActivePerl for running some compile scripts etc. It will also install a so called 'emulator' for the N7650. (When installing choose to modify your path settings, saves a lot of trouble)

But it seems that are no ActivePerl installed...
Please Help! :(

Thanks... Sorry for my english :rolleyes:

If ActivePerl is not installed, install it: http://www.activestate.com/

hi all

i downloaded the wins version of UIQ 2.1 SDK.
i do not use ani IDE, so i do everything from the command line, writing in c++ with a common text editor. i have to do this way.

i got problem in building projects. i did not have any trouble using the codewarrior version sdk together with the cw compiler, as long as the trial was working.. but you know how thing goes, it's expired now.

after "bldmake bldfiles", i enter "abld build wins udeb" but i got different error messages depending on the project i build.
usually it's something about actions that nmake was not able to do, or "bscmake.exe is missing" and other things.
like this posted above:

HELP!!!!

I've just got the book 'Symbian C++ for Mobile Phones' by Richard Harrison and downloaded it's source code from the net. I have installed VC++6 and CodeWarrior and the Nokia SDK 2.0 but can't seem to make the SIS file for the battleships game even though i have the pkg file.

Main problems that i'm facing is that IMPORT_C in e32std.h is giving me an error. Also, my perl version is giving lots of problems so that i can't even nmake the game.

Start by downloading a newer Perl release: Go to http://www.activestate.com/ for that.

Hey,

It says right there in the message:
"Perl 5.00503 required--this is only version 5.00307 stopped at C:\Perl\bin/bldmake.pl line 19."
You need to get a newer version of perl then it should work.

Hi, I´m new at Symbian and just started working on XP. The environment is Symbian 7.0s for Series 60 v2.0 and VC++ in Visual Studio 6.0. I´m getting 'EPOCROOT variable must be capitalised' error message when I try to bldmake bldfiles. I had bldmake etc. working before and was able to get HelloWorld nicely shown on emulator, but this has changed. Ok, I must have done something, but what? And furthermore I didn´t even have any EPOCROOT variable before when all seemed fine as I only added it after getting the error message: EPOCROOT does not exist. At the same time I lost the ability to build and execute the project in VC++ 6.0, but that I fixed by setting the environment to Series 60 by Environmentswitch. Unfortunately that didn't fix the original bldmake problem. Ideas?

Terribly sorry! I forgot to mention that I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, if that makes a difference.

I am attempting to compile a modified "HelloWorld." (In other words, I attempted to change the GUI around a little bit and change identifiers so that it would be relevant to my program.)

I've finally got it to mostly compile except for these errors with 'abld build wins udeb' which I don't understand and have had no luck with researching:

edll.pdb not found (I believe I read that this was not normally important except for debugging purposes? I hope so, because I don't have it in the SDK!)

"WARNING: Second UID is 0x00000002 but
expected value for Target Type APP is " (It just cuts off. I am using made up UIDs for now before I test the program on an actual device. The range for such testing, I read, is 0x00000001 - 0x0FFFFFFF. As far as I know, my UID is fine!)

Emulater shoes icon in "Extras" on the Emulater. However, when I try to open the program, I get a dialog box looking about like this:

When i wanna convert the mmp file to VC6 project file using the commad "makmake", the command prompt said that "D:\Program" not executable/ batch file like that


and i cannot make a project file out?
what should i do??
or can anyone tell me the installation precess of the SDK, Java 1.31, ActivePerl, etc?

thank you very much

Hey,

The message you got probably means that your Symbian directrory is not included in your path environmet variable. To see your path go to Control Panel\System\ and click the Advanced tab then click Environment variables in the lower right hand corner.

First, I haven't read the getting started guide as it seems to give me a:
phpBB : Critical Error
Could not connect to the database
Error.

I'm working with Visual Studio.Net and the SDK for 2.1 Series 60. After some struggling I got the compiling sequence right and I can debug my programs in the debuger/emulator and it works all very nice.

However, when I try to deploy any application to the phone, I run into problems. I create the .SIS file from the .PKG file, adjusting the path to where my compiler actually generated the stuff and then install the .SIS file on the phone. The Icon appears, but if I click it, I get immeditiately a "System Error" box. I tried adding a file open/write string/close file to one of the first events, but that doesn't seem to happen either, so it very much seems my phone just doesn't like the .app file.

So is this a version problem?

Douwe Osinga

Any help is grealy appreciated.

So, could it be that this is because I use a 3650 and SDK 2.1 and that isn't compatible? But why doesn't give me a more descriptive error message then...

Hi all,

I too recently tried going through the motions of creating the HelloWorld SIS file, everything worked (i.e. installation / creating the system files etc) but for some reason the HelloWorld icon didn't appear, so I couldn't run it from the phone.

Hi Guys,
I tried to compile the HelloWorld code, eveything is fine like Tsunami_Hiroshima but i cannot see in the main menu of real phone.I found the solution of this problem: if you compile Wins or Wincw target debug or realese of your code so the code doesnot work correct form but if you compile ARMI compiler (ARMI is the most preferable Mobile CPU using most of vendors) you can see the installed application in your real phone.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole VC++ and SDK's several times and also I have checked by changing the default SDK. Kindly please help me get the Series 60 AppWizard2.0 in the new projects.

Hi Friends,

I found out the solution myself ....there are two files named as AvkonAppWiz.awx and AvkonAppWiz.hlp which you need to copy in the "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MsDev98\Template". folder once you have done that the Wizard icon starts to appear in the New/project tab .... for better grip read the pdf called "Series 60 AppWizard – Installation & User’s Guide " awailable on the net or in your sdk help.

Thanks for your support

Is there an update to this link? It seems to have moved... :o

I am new in this category of programming... I have read the Getting Start document
the Appwizard is not found in the path that is mentioned... it doesn't found in the whole plattform ... from where I can get it

The AppWizard is in the Microsoft Visual C++ versions of the SDK and works only with Visual C++ 6 (not Visual Studio.NET/Visual C++.NET).

emulator showing 'Series 60' on screen....The reason is having installed the SDK to the D: drive (and the installation not coping with that very well). Edit .\Epoc32\Data\epoc.ini to have the full/complete path on the line that begins with "_EPOC_DRIVE_D".

hi friends,
Please help me out me out.....i have encountered this problem at the very last stage.

I have compiled my project in the release mode and debug mode both and my compilation has been successful.

however when i try to run the program on the emulator,nothing happens when i click on the icon.

I tried to convert my package file into a sis file.Even tried doing the same for the helloworls application to check.
but on the dos prompt i get the following error:

error:file not found


i have used the MAKESIS command and specified the .pkg file.
even tried by specifying the full path but nothing happens.

could u pls tell me how i should remake my package file?
or recompile

i'm using:
windows xp
vc 6.0
perl
jdk 1.4

my vc++ files are in:
C:\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\Epoc32\BUILD\SYMBIAN\ 7.0S\SERIES60_V20\SERIES60EX\BLUETOOTHPMP\GROUP\BL UETOOTHPMPEXAMPLE\WINS

but my sdk files which were self generated are in
C:\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\Series60Ex\BluetoothP MP

maybe the path in my .pkg file is incorrect.tell me where exactly should the application be.

please suggest some solution URGENLTLY

thanx

hi people.

forgot to mention that i also get the following error at the dos prompt when i give the full path
error: cannot open file.check filename and access rights

the filename and path are correct i've checked that

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

I have it working now.

Hello, All!

I'm using folowing tools:
1. Visual Studio .NET 2003
2. Series 60 SDK 2.1 for Symbian OS Supporting Microsoft Visual C++ .NET

Configuration is DEBUG Wins, program for run is C:\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v21\Epoc32\release\wins\u deb\epoc.exe

I want to debug program under emulator, but after run I have got a message "'epoc.exe' does not contain debugging information. (No symbols loaded.) Click OK to debug anyway."

What's wrong in my actions?

Nick.

Hello.

Uninstall SDK and install it in other folder. I think that this is problem with Perl - does not recognize folder with long name. I am not sure about this, but I tryed this and it works.

Sorry for my bad english.

I do have the same problem....How did u fix it Mohith????



got the perl to work after a lot of reinstalling and changing environment variables.... now, however, i'm getting missing header files... any idea where i can find these???

gsmumsg.h
gsmuset.h
smsuaddr.h
quartzkeys.h

thxn in advance..

Did you find the solution and could you share this?

Please...

:icon4:
when i write

abld makefiles vc6

:icon4:
it give me reply as

make -r -f "\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\EPOC32\BUILD\VC6.make" MAKEFILE VERBOS
E=-s
Nothing to do

can anybody tell me how can i create workspace for MS-VC++ IDE

I alredy installed Win 2000 SP4 + Visua studio 6.0 + Visual Studio .NET

Thank You.

I faced the similiar problem. I was able to correct after multiple tries.

We need to set the following paths into the path variable of the environment variable.

1. Add the path of perl\bin folder to PATH
2. Add the path of VC98 - link.exe path to PATH
3. copy MSPDB60.DLL from Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin to Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin folder
4. Make sure that your EPOCROOT is set to right folder

Once you do the above changes, it should work fine.
