Path prob? Can't compile for target. Newb. — Symbian C++

Hi,

I'm having a little trouble 'HelloWorld'-ing for a target device. I can compile and run an executable in the emulator but when I try to build one for THUMB or ARMI my shell locks up.

Here is my setup;
Current Series60 SDK.
Visual Studio
Current ActivePerl.
Windows 98.

I had some problems with paths. When I run Visual C's variable-batch (vcvars32.bat) I get 5 "Out of environment space" errors. So I set the paths manually in autoexec.bat.

It freezes up in one of two places each time I try to compile for my phone. Either as it's running the 'AS' program or as it's running 'NMAKE'.

I really am struggling and it's taken me a surprising amount of time to even get this far so any help would be great 😛

Ty!

Sorry, I fixed the vcvars32 thing and ran it okay. I forgot that I could give the shell more memory... 😊

The compiling problem still persists however.

Well, as it looks like I'm the only one posting on this thread I may as well finish it off 😃

These is no solution. The SDK apparently cannot be patched to work on any distro of Windows older than NT. I still haven't discovered exactly why.

I think the only kludge that will let me work with Win98 is to use a dualboot machine with Linux. I can develop on my archaic Windows and then switch over to Linux for a target compile. (altho with Wine, there appears to be more or less full access to the SDK from Linux anyway).
