Building APP with .app, .exe, .dll

2 replies · 2,274 views · Started 07 September 2004

Good morning everybody!!

I`m the new member of SYMBIAN & UIQ.
I was using the sample already in UIQ_21

C:\Symbian\UIQ_21\UIQExamples\HelloWorld

Detail of HelloWorld.mmp:

TARGET HelloWorld.app
TARGETTYPE app
UID 0x100039CE 0x101F6163
...

If i did not change it, building is OK

If i replace 3 lines above like this:

TARGET HelloWorld.exe
TARGETTYPE exe
UID 0
...

-->Cannot building it. Error when compiling

Anyone please help me!!

Right. The developer forum(s) are better for developer questions.

Anywayy, an .exe in Symbian is a server without any ties to the user interface framwork (like UIQ or Series 60), and thus with a different stucture/rentrypoints.

You can't just change the .mmp file and recompile source for a .app and expect it to become an .exe (as you have discovered).

What are you really attempting to accomplish?
