EPOCROOT + Win98

0 replies · 1,411 views · Started 16 February 2005

Hello all.

I've set up Series 60 SDK 2.0 on Win2000, and the built, and launched the 'helloworld' application without any problem.
But, I have Win98 at the home computer installed, and there I added the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symbian\tools" to the PATH, and set EPOCROOT=\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\

Command

bldmake bldfiles

produce an error

EPOCROOT enviroment variable must be capitalized

Well, I found the Perl package 'e32env.pm' and found the variable that reads string from the pipe:

open PIPE, "set EPOCROOT |";

This syntax is wrong for Win98 'set' command, so I commented out the following 'while' block, as well as the 'if (!$found)' condition.

Now, 'bldmake bldfiles' exits with the help message printed how to use bldmake, and showed exactly the syntax that I just used. I looked throw the PATH and found bldmake to be an exe-file. So confused with the situation for now 😞

Thank you in advance for any help.
