Hello guys,
i've got problems to get the OPL TextEd running on the PC Emulator.
The sis Files for Texted OPX and OPL are installed. Ohter sis Files i have installed
running very properly! Seems to be a sign that the Emulator is installed in the right way.
But when i try to run the programm "TextEd" for the OnDeviceDevelopment with OPL - by clicking on its Entry at the Applicationlist the ErrorMessage
"Not Found" is displayed and nothing more happens!
Whats the matter with my Emulator or TextEd?
Greetings

I tested some Sis running on my P900 on the Emulator - same result
Error "not found" whats wrong?
are you usingt the WINS builds or the ARM THUMBS? I take it you're trying to write and compile an OPL program in the emulator so you're using the full keyboard?
Hi Ewan,
I used the same SIS files i have installed on my P900 too.
Is it possible that SIS files designed for the P900 won't run in the
Emulator?
What do you mean "using the full Keyboard"???

There''s the problem. The sis file for the P900 won;t run on a PC as the two computers have a different CPU (the P900 was ARM(THUMB) and PC needs the WINS build). Check http://opl-dev.sourceforge.net/opldev.html#uiq for the OPl Dev Pack, which has the WINS installation files you'll need for a code warriror SDK installation.
There's more advice on http://www.allaboutopl.com/wiki/PCUIQDEVPrimer for running OPL under UIQ on the PC.
By the Full Keyboard, I mean the PC's full keyboard, which gives you a nice big qwerty keyboard when using the UIQ Emulator in the SDK.
Hi Ewan,
thanks for your help! I've downloaded the SDK again - this time the large one with the Win-Build in it. *ggg*
Now it seems to run - first i wasted no thougt about this it might be the problem that there are different CPU build in PC and P900 - because other Emulators will emulate the CPU too!
Fortunately you helped me out of my problem very quick.
Thanks again.

The key here is it's not actually a "true" emulator, it's actually the source code re-built for Windows, rather than ARM. Symbian don;t have a "bit perfect" emulator as such, which is a shame.
So, what are you up to in OPL?> Just finding out about it? Exploring? Or have you plans?
Hi Ewan
First of all i like to explore OPL and the possibilitys coming with it on a SE P900.
I owned before an Siemens IC35 PDA but it can't programmed seriously on device. So I decided to get a smartphone - now after 3 Month my wishes come up again programming this "MagicBox of Gimmicks". I lay my focus especially direct on device programming. The very first thing i mentioned is the lack of having no full keyboard on the Phone and the hard limitations of the TextEd. I know that it is only a Beta Release but in my opinion there should be an special OPL Editor for P800/P900 with extra input features to minimize the need of an keyboard.
Have some kinde of features on my mind and playing with the toughts to write an OPL Editor for P900 with all this features. But one big Problem is allready there - how to implement the "Translate" Command in a Editor written in OPL?
so long
