Experience Attempting to Install the
SDK for the Symbian OS
Installation attempted on 2GHz, Windows 2000-SP4 machine with >80Gb HD
space.
Perl was previously installed.
Attempted a typical installation of the
SDK by unzipping the archive to
an empty folder and installing
the
SDK to D:\Nokia\
SDK\. After installing, I attempted to verify the
installation as outlined in the installation instructions that came
with the
SDK. From the command prompt I followed all the
commands outlined in the
SDK installation instructions:
devices -setdefault @S60_3rd_FP1:com.nokia.S60
d:
cd \nokia\
sdk\s60_3rd_fp1\s60ex\helloworldbasic
cd group
bldmake bldfiles
abld build
Following the last command (abld build) the output was:
make -r -f
"\Nokia\
SDK\S60_3rd_FP1\EPOC32\BUILD\Nokia\
SDK\S60 _3rd_FP1\S60Ex\HelloWorldBasic\group\EXPORT.make"
EXPORT VERBOSE=-s
Nothing to do
At which point I started the emulator with "epoc". The emulator DOES
NOT start in the application grid as stated in the instructions!
However, you can bring up a menu showing icons for "Messaging",
"Contacts", etc,,, including "Organizer" and "Installed". Organizer
will take you to a menu including "File Manager", which will take you
to a menu showing "Installed Files", which is EMPTY! Going to
"Installed" on the otherhand, takes you to a menu for "App. Mgr."
(which subsequently takes you to "Download apps." upon which selecting
leads to System Error -6) and "GoTo" (which will take you to a menu for
Calender, Inbox, and Notes). So the Hello application is no where to
be found on the emulator.
Does this mean the build didn't work, or that the application wasn't
transferred to the emulator after
the build? There are no error messages (as I can tell) and your
install/verify instructions were followed. How can the situation be
remedied? Is this
SDK really a BETA?
