BMCONV Error — Symbian C++ — All About Symbian Forum Archive

I have a list of bitmaps that I want to include into my project, but I get an error that says:

Error : Symbian Resource - BMCONV "File does not exist"

And that's all I get. In my .mmp file, I have this for creating my .mbm:

//Bitmap Creation
START BITMAP Shapes.mbm
HEADER
SOURCEPATH ..\res
SOURCE c8 TripleBall.bmp
SOURCE c8 1up.bmp
SOURCE c8 AntiPower.bmp
SOURCE c8 Freeze.bmp
SOURCE c8 SuperSpeed.bmp
SOURCE 1 Mask.bmp
END

The file path is correct. Does the error mean it can't find the .bmps or is there a problem with BMCONV?

Hi,

You should perhaps provide the mask bitmap file for _each_ of the bitmaps.

Still no good. Even if I specify a single bitmap with a single mask, I get the same error. Could be related to Codewarrior??

I'm not sure but you cannot compile the create the mbm files from an IDE.
Try to run
abld build armi urel
and ten you can copy the shapes.mbm from the epoc32/release/armi/urel directory to the correct place.
