What version of Perl (what does "perl -v" say when you run it at the command prompt)?

v5.8.1. should work. Get it from http://www.activestate.com/

Also, which/whose Symbian SDK are you using?

And what/whose "your tutorial" are you referring to?

hello! ihave downloaded perl v5.8.1 from the above said link. even then i'm getting the same error. well i'm using series60 sdkv1.0. and i've complied the program.

1. when i complied the program i'm getting 2 warnings, edll.pdb cannot found

even then my program runs fine..

2. but when i make changes here and there in the code, compilation is firing a error on perl as said above.

help me out pls.....

TIA

NMAKE Fatal Error U1077
'program' : return code 'value'

The given command or program called by NMAKE failed and returned the given exit code.

To suppress this error and continue the NMAKE session, use the /I option, the .IGNORE dot directive, or the dash (-) command modifier. To continue the NMAKE session for unrelated parts of the dependency tree, use the /K option.

Look the above Error Descripiton . NMake is a utility for compilation in VC++ .
So it seems some problem with your Perl and Visual studio environment .
Mostly it with perl environment settings .

If you are sure that u have a proper perl environment variable set then look for spaces in your include files in headers and in sources . Because some time perl scripts of symbian reacts mysterious.

Hi!

Are you trying to compile the whole project (including resource files) when getting the error? My Visual Studio .NET IDE gives the same error if I compile a project while having the phone emulator open, it seems that the emulator is holding a write-lock on certain files.
