Pls Hlp me on Build failure

Thank you all in advance. The Compile and Build problems message looks like the following. It is related to 'abld". To be frank, I don't even know about 'abld' and how to get it corrected as I am a starter with Symbian C++. How can I check for correcting environment variables for it? Or How can I get it solved?

The Failure Message follows:

bldmake -v bldfiles
abld -v export
� 'abld' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
�External process exited with error code : 1
abld -v makefile WINSB
� 'abld' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
� External process exited with error code : 1
abld -v resource WINSB UDEB

abld -w build WINSB UDEB

Please help me.

Thanking you,

Sounds like you have a Borland version of the SDK. Do you also have Borland C++ BuilderX installed?

You could also take a look at the tutorial articles on http://www.newlc.com or perhaps also consider getting a book to read like this one:
http://forum.nokia.com/main/1,,40_2,00.html

Or these:
http://www.symbian.com/books

You could also say which phone(s) you have and are intending to develop for, whether you have or plan to use a Windows based IDE (Integrated Development Environment) such as MS VisualStudio, CodeWarrior, BuilderX or something else.

Then we could better direct you to the correct Symbian C++ SDK and other tools.

Of course, one of the SDKs I am using is Borland version of the Symbian SDK. Borland C++ BuilderX is also found installed. I was using C++Builder with Borland, Nokia, Techview, and UIQ emulators. Everything was working very well; i.e. I can compile and run applications successfully. It all get down after a certain for a reason that I don't know after a certain times.

I am to use C++ BuilderX as I get for free easily unlike others. My current plan is to get the development environments work for experimenting on Symbian and Series 6o applications.

Pls hlp.
Thanks,

Shiferaw.
