Hi guys,
i read the miniguide "getting started", but, in this point, i got an error (i have vc6 installed):

Next run 'makmake HelloWorld vc6' (The documentation suggests to use abld, but I found this easier).

the error:

"perl" non � riconosciuto come comando interno o esterno,
Is Perl, version 5.003_07 or later, installed?

I read also this in the miniguide:

This install will also install a Java Runtime environment (1.3 I Think). It will also install ActivePerl for running some compile scripts etc. It will also install a so called 'emulator' for the N7650. (When installing choose to modify your path settings, saves a lot of trouble)

But it seems that are no ActivePerl installed...
Please Help! 😞

Thanks... Sorry for my english 🙄

hi all

i downloaded the wins version of UIQ 2.1 SDK.
i do not use ani IDE, so i do everything from the command line, writing in c++ with a common text editor. i have to do this way.

i got problem in building projects. i did not have any trouble using the codewarrior version sdk together with the cw compiler, as long as the trial was working.. but you know how thing goes, it's expired now.

after "bldmake bldfiles", i enter "abld build wins udeb" but i got different error messages depending on the project i build.
usually it's something about actions that nmake was not able to do, or "bscmake.exe is missing" and other things.
like this posted above:

HELP!!!!

I've just got the book 'Symbian C++ for Mobile Phones' by Richard Harrison and downloaded it's source code from the net. I have installed VC++6 and CodeWarrior and the Nokia SDK 2.0 but can't seem to make the SIS file for the battleships game even though i have the pkg file.

Main problems that i'm facing is that IMPORT_C in e32std.h is giving me an error. Also, my perl version is giving lots of problems so that i can't even nmake the game.

stat(D:\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\Epoc32\battleships/C:\Perl\bin): No such file
or directory at C:\Perl\lib/FindBin.pm line 106.

Please please could someone help me??? I have a seminar due in 2 days where I have to show the possibilities of mobile gaming. Feel free to contact me on [email][email protected][/email] (chat) or [email][email protected][/email].

Hey,

It says right there in the message:
"Perl 5.00503 required--this is only version 5.00307 stopped at C:\Perl\bin/bldmake.pl line 19."
You need to get a newer version of perl then it should work.

I hope this is right place to ask this:


Hi, I�m new at Symbian and just started working on XP. The environment is Symbian 7.0s for Series 60 v2.0 and VC++ in Visual Studio 6.0. I�m getting 'EPOCROOT variable must be capitalised' error message when I try to bldmake bldfiles. I had bldmake etc. working before and was able to get HelloWorld nicely shown on emulator, but this has changed. Ok, I must have done something, but what? And furthermore I didn�t even have any EPOCROOT variable before when all seemed fine as I only added it after getting the error message: EPOCROOT does not exist. At the same time I lost the ability to build and execute the project in VC++ 6.0, but that I fixed by setting the environment to Series 60 by Environmentswitch. Unfortunately that didn't fix the original bldmake problem. Ideas?

Hi Tsu,
I am vamsi, new to this symbian world.

I am also facing the same problem which you specified of not able to running the helloworld application in my mobile. My mobile is Nokia 6600 and SDK is Series60_v20. Could you tell me the solution for the problem.

Thanks & Regards

I have it working now.

Yes, another newbie to Symbian. 😉

I'm attempting to do a project from a forum.Nokia pdf file for the Nokia 9200 Communicator Series. It's a simple HelloWorld thing but I am unable to get it to work. I can't even begin hardly! When I type 'bldmake bldfiles', I get this error message:

Terribly sorry! I forgot to mention that I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, if that makes a difference.

I am attempting to compile a modified "HelloWorld." (In other words, I attempted to change the GUI around a little bit and change identifiers so that it would be relevant to my program.)

I've finally got it to mostly compile except for these errors with 'abld build wins udeb' which I don't understand and have had no luck with researching:

edll.pdb not found (I believe I read that this was not normally important except for debugging purposes? I hope so, because I don't have it in the SDK!)

"WARNING: Second UID is 0x00000002 but
expected value for Target Type APP is " (It just cuts off. I am using made up UIDs for now before I test the program on an actual device. The range for such testing, I read, is 0x00000001 - 0x0FFFFFFF. As far as I know, my UID is fine!)

Emulater shoes icon in "Extras" on the Emulater. However, when I try to open the program, I get a dialog box looking about like this:

-----------
| Note
|----------
| Not
| Found
-----------

Any ideas on the problems? I could really use some help!

My Specs:

OS: Windows NT 4.0
Compiler: Visual C++ 6.0
SDK: Symbian v6.0, Nokia 9200 series

when i try building the helloworld example that comes with the SDK 7.0s, i get the following error,
Please help.

I got the same problem, it just showed up one morning and I don't know why.

How did you solve it?

When i wanna convert the mmp file to VC6 project file using the commad "makmake", the command prompt said that "D:\Program" not executable/ batch file like that

and i cannot make a project file out?
what should i do??
or can anyone tell me the installation precess of the SDK, Java 1.31, ActivePerl, etc?

thank you very much

Hey,

The message you got probably means that your Symbian directrory is not included in your path environmet variable. To see your path go to Control Panel\System\ and click the Advanced tab then click Environment variables in the lower right hand corner.

I tried making a project in VC++, I used the Series 60 AppWizard 1.9 and created the project in :
D:\NokiaEx\Test (All my files are installed in D:\)
After clicking Finish. It showed an error : D:\Symbian\6.1\Series60\epoc32\build\NokiaEx\Test\group\Test\wi ns\Test.dsw The specified project could not be inserted into the current workspace.

So I went to the D:\NokiaEx\Test\group folder and typed in:

SET PATH = D:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\BIN;D:\PERL\BIN;D:\SYMBI AN\6.1\SHARED\EPOC32\TOOLS
bldmake bldfiles
abld makefile vc6

I got no errors.

Next, when i went to the folder : D:\Symbian\6.1\Series60\epoc32\build\NokiaEx\Test\group
There were these files : ARM4.MAKE, ARM4TEST.MAKE, ARMI.MAKE, ARMITEST.MAKE, EXPORT.MAKE, EXPORTTEST.MAKE, PLATFORM.PM, THUMB.MAKE, THUMBTEST.MAKE, VC6.MAKE,
VC6TEST.MAKE, WINS.MAKE, WINSCW.MAKE, WINSCWTEST.MAKE, WINSTEST.MAKE

I didn't find any more files/folders in that directory. I am new to this. Please help me to do this.

Biju

can i use c#.net to develop nokia 6600 application or not ?(with vs.net 2003)

Hey,

This is the expected result of running abld makefile vc6. It created the makefiles for various platforms. I don't know why they were created in the group directory though. See this topic for a solution to your problem with Series 60 AppWizard:
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45042 .

First, I haven't read the getting started guide as it seems to give me a:
phpBB : Critical Error
Could not connect to the database
Error.

I'm working with Visual Studio.Net and the SDK for 2.1 Series 60. After some struggling I got the compiling sequence right and I can debug my programs in the debuger/emulator and it works all very nice.

However, when I try to deploy any application to the phone, I run into problems. I create the .SIS file from the .PKG file, adjusting the path to where my compiler actually generated the stuff and then install the .SIS file on the phone. The Icon appears, but if I click it, I get immeditiately a "System Error" box. I tried adding a file open/write string/close file to one of the first events, but that doesn't seem to happen either, so it very much seems my phone just doesn't like the .app file.

So is this a version problem?

Douwe Osinga

Any help is grealy appreciated.

So, could it be that this is because I use a 3650 and SDK 2.1 and that isn't compatible? But why doesn't give me a more descriptive error message then...

Hi Guys,
I tried to compile the HelloWorld code, eveything is fine like Tsunami_Hiroshima but i cannot see in the main menu of real phone.I found the solution of this problem: if you compile Wins or Wincw target debug or realese of your code so the code doesnot work correct form but if you compile ARMI compiler (ARMI is the most preferable Mobile CPU using most of vendors) you can see the installed application in your real phone.

Hi,
I installed many Series 60 SDk and also installed VC++ but for some reason the when I click New in the IDE, under the projects tab the VC++ IDE does not show the Series 60 AppWizard link. While My friend has used the same CD and it is awailable and working on his comp. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the whole VC++ and SDK's several times and also I have checked by changing the default SDK. Kindly please help me get the Series 60 AppWizard2.0 in the new projects.
Listed below are the default SDK's

Series60_v20:com.nokia.series60 - default
Series60_v2_1:com.nokia.Series60_2_1
Series60_v21_CW:com.nokia.series60
