I have downloaded the 2.0 SDK for UIQ7, looked through the documentation. From what I understand, I have to use CodeWarrior, right? There is no chance I could use MSVC++ 6 to develop apps?
Any Symbian OS developers here?
There are Symbian OS developers here, in fact there's an entire forum section for them!
Thread copied 😃
Ah, great, thanks!
I have some problems trying to get a simple HelloWorld program to work. I have a Motorola A920 (with A925 firmware), the UIQ 7.0 SDK and Metrowerk's CodeWarrior. Here is what I do:
1. File/Import from MMP
2. Set Target to ARMI (read that ARMI was the one I should choose, not ARM4 or THUMB, is that correct?)
3. Compile.
The problem is that I only get a .APP file when I compile, not a .INI nor a .RSC (as mentioned in the documentation that I SHOULD get...). Do I need to do anything I have missed, or is there something iffy going on here? :con?
Anyone?
In fact you don't have one *.rsc file but multiples *.rxx files (where xx are the language ids - .r01 for english, etc.)... they can be found in the epoc32/data/z/system/apps/YOURAPP folder where you've installed the symbian SDK...
You can rename one into *.rsc but I would suggest you to write a .pkg to build a .sis. Then you'll get an installer whih will take different languages into account and install the right *.rsc on the target device depending from the device language and/or the choice from the final user.
Hope it helps 😉

Ah, ok. Then I have another question. Even though it is mentioned in the documentation, there is no mention of how to make .PKG files.

I can provide you a good link for that :

everything is clearly explained 😉
Perfect! Thank you. I hope that CodeWarrior has some form of option for automatically generating a PKG-file.
