I have been trying to get into symbian C++ programming and I chose the hard way: trying to build the example hello world application :tongue:

I can successfully build the thumb urel C++ application (from command line) and make a sis of the generated .app and .rsc files. They install ok on my Nokia 9210i. But when I try to start the application i get: "! Note - Resource file problem" and the app doesn't start. If I remove the .rsc file I get "Not found". So obviously the helloworld.rsc resource is corrupt. But why? I did everyting by the book and compiling and linking succeeded. Any suggestions on how to debug this resource problem? :con?

I first tried the latest Nokia S80 DP2 SDK, then I tried ye old Nokia 9200 Communicator series SDK 1.2 both give same outcome. I don't use any IDE and have latest ActivePerl and JRE installed on Win2000/SP4.

BTW is the new Nokia S80 DP2 SDK useable with 9210i or is it only for 9500 development?

Thanks gurus!

Try building for armi urel instead of thumb urel: ie abld build armi urel, but before make sure all old stuff is cleaned up (abld reallyclean).

As far as I know, the S80DP2 SDK compiled apps will not run on 9210i, but SDK 1.2 apps should also run on the 9500.
