Configure the vc6 Symbian Development Environment

1. Install the SDK and VC
Nokia divides the mobile phone into multiple series based on the screen size and price of the mobile phone. The current series are: Series 40, Series 60, Series 80, and Series 90. The 60 series uses Symbian OS 6.1 and then makes some modifications to the UI based on the characteristics of the mobile phone screen. The modified Symbian is called the Nokia 60 series platform. Mobile phone models of the 60 series include: Nokia 6670, Nokia 6630, Nokia 6260, and Nokia N-gage QD? Nokia 7610, Nokia 6620, Nokia 3620, Nokia 3660, Nokia 6600, Nokia 3600, Nokia 3650, Nokia 7650, Nokia, Nokia N-Gage? .

Next we will take the 60 series as an example to introduce the SDK installation process.

1.1 install SDK
Step 1: register at the Nokia forum and download the latest SDK. The latest version of Series 60 SDK for Symbian OS Nokia edition SDK provided by Nokia is v1.2, and the latest version of Series 60 SDK for Symbian OS is V2.1. Download URL: http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/0,6566,034-4,00.html

Note:Series 60 SDK v1.2 has a bug, and the simulator cannot be used normally. For the solution, see the end of this article.

Step 2, download the latest active Perl script installer from the http://www.activestate.com website. Download the latest j2re from the http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp.

Step 3: Install the SDK,We recommend that you create a separate directory for Symbian development, for example, D:/Symbian instead of C:/program files.

Step 4: install Active Perl and j2re in the default directory.

Step 5: (1.2 do not configure environment variables) Check environment variable settings. Open the system environment variable tab and check whether there is epocroot. If so, manually change it to "/". The change should look like this:

Epocroot =/Symbian/7.0 S/series60_v21_c/

Then, add

/Epoc32/GCC/bin

And D:/Symbian/7.0 S/series60_v21_c/epoc32/tools (Note: after creating a project for/epoc32/tools, the VC will prompt that the specified project cannot be added to the project.)

In fact, the Symbian SDK does not need to be installed at all. You can directly copy the epoc32 directory to a machine and set the Directory and environment variables as described above.

1.2 configure VC (Note that the project must be created under the root directory of the SDK partition.)
If we use VC 6.0, we must ensure that the system has installed at least the SP3 patch. Otherwise, the system will receive a warning. If we use. net2003, we can only install Series 60 SDK for Symbian OS V2.1, because Series 60 SDK for Symbian OS Nokia edition SDK v1.2 is in. net2003 cannot correctly build the project.

If you want to create a new project directly in vc6, you need to add avkonappwiz under the/Symbian/6.1/series60/series60tools/Application Wizard directory. awx and avkonappwiz. copy the HLP file to the template directory c:/program files/Microsoft Visual Studio/common/msdev98/template of vc6. In this way, we can see the Series 60 Appwizard v 1.9 option in the VC new project.

Enter the project name and click OK.

All the way to "Next", a simple Symbian application is built.

If you want to import a created Project to vc6.0, You can compile it directly. Otherwise, enter the group directory of the project in command prompt mode and execute:

Bldmake bldfiles

This command will generate an abld in the group directory. bat batch files, the directory/Symbian/6.1/series60/epoc32/build/Symbian/6.1/series60/epoc32/build/Symbian/6.1/series60/series60ex/helloworld/group will be generated under/Symbian/series60/epoc32, and generate a heap under the underlying directory. make file.

Then, run the generated abld. bat in the same directory:

Abld makefile vc6

The DSW file of vc6 is automatically generated at/Symbian/6.1/series60/epoc32/build/Symbian/6.1/series60/series60ex/helloworld/group/helloworld/wins. Then we can open the Symbian project in vc6.

2 compile
We can directly use the tools provided by the SDK to compile the Symbian project, or use the integrated environment provided by vc6 to compile the converted Symbian project. The compiled results are stored in the/Symbian/6.1/series60/epoc32/release/wins/udeb/z/system/apps directory.

2.1 use the tools provided by the SDK to compile the Symbian Project
At the position in the previous section, we continue to enter:

Abld build wins udeb

This command will compile our program and generate our helloworld in the/Symbian/6.1/series60/epoc32/release/wins/udeb directory, then we can run the debug version of the simulator from the Start menu and run helloworld in the simulation.

2.2 Use vc6 to compile the Symbian Project
We directly open the DSW file generated after running abld makefile vc6, and VC automatically loads the converted project. Press F7 to compile the project directly. The compilation results are also stored in the/Symbian/6.1/series60/epoc32/release/wins/udeb directory. Then we open the debug version of the simulator and we can see the compiled project.

3. Package
Take helloworld provided by SDK 1.2 as an example to create a. sisfile that can be installed on your mobile phone:

3. 1. Check the program
First, in the command line format, enter the directory where the MPs file of the helloworld project is located, enter bldmake bldfiles and abld build wins udeb, and then open the simulator to check whether the program has any errors.

3. 2. compile the project
After the program has no errors, enter abld build armi urel in the command line. After executing this command, the helloworld. app and helloworld. RSC files are generated in the Directory D:/Symbian/6.1/series60/epoc32/release/armi/urel.

3. Create a. PKG File

Note: when a project is created using the VC wizard, the PKG file has been created under the folder named SIS (install) under the project directory, you only need to modify the installation file and its path. Note the UID of the platform and app when manually generating the PKG File
In D:/Symbian/6.1/series60/series60ex/helloworld/sis, use NotePad to create or modify the PKG file of the project. The content is as follows:

; Helloworld. PKG

;

; Language-standard language Definitions

& En

; Standard SIS file header

# {"Helloworld"}, (0x10005b91), 1, 0, 0

; Supports Series 60 v 1.2

(0x101f8202), 0, 0, 0, {"series60productid "}

;

"D:/Symbian/6.1/series60/epoc32/release/armi/urel/helloworld. app "-"! :/System/apps/helloworld. app"

"D:/Symbian/6.1/series60/epoc32/release/armi/urel/helloworld. RSC "-"! :/System/apps/helloworld. RSC"

In the preceding example, "d:/Symbian/6.1/series60/epoc32/release/armi/urel/helloworld. RSC" is the file to be packaged and installed ,"! :/System/apps/helloworld. RSC is the target installation location. Note that "!" is used in the target location. Instead of the actual drive letter. In this way, the mobile phone system prompts the user to select the desired location during the user's installation, which gives the user greater flexibility. In addition, in the Symbian system, the default location of the installed application is "! :/System/apps ".

After editing the PKG file, save it to the corresponding directory.

3. 4. Package
In the command line, go to the directory where the PKG file is located and run the makesis helloworld. PKG command.

Note:If the Series 60 SDK of version 1.2 is not installed on the C drive, the series60 will be displayed after the simulator is run. In fact, this is a bug installed on the SDK of version 1.2.

Solution:
If it is indeed installed on another logical drive, you can solve the problem by modifying the simulator configuration.
Open/Symbian/6.1/series60/epoc32/data/EPOC. ini
This is a text file that can be opened with a note. Generally, this file contains settings such as _ epoc_drive_x path. This is the drive letter X of the logical drive that the simulator can access: And points it to the directory described in path. 2 logical drives, Rom Z drive, and virtual drive d need to be known when the simulator starts. The Z disk is automatically allocated, and the D disk must be declared in the preceding configuration file. Check the path after _ epoc_drive_d and change it to X: /Symbian/6.1/series60/epoc32/wins/d x is the drive for installing the SDK. (If you do not install the SDK in the root directory, write the full path ). Try restarting the simulator?

After other versions are installed, the configurations are complete and do not need to be modified.
