Qt for S60 Tower problem

I was trying to make a Qt S60 application...
I had installed http://pepper.troll.no/s60prerelease....5.2-tower.exe on my system.

Before installing the above, I had installed -
1) Nokia S60 SDK 5th Edition V1
2) Nokia S60 SDK 3rd Editon FP2
3) Carbide C++ v2
4) Patch for Carbide C++
5) OpenC cpp plugin

All were installed on C Drive.

Now after installing the tower release,,, I followed the Install guide - Qt for S60 pre-release "Tower" video.
and made a Qt Project -- MainWindow from the templates..
but when I built project, it gave me error -

BLDMAKE ERROR: Can't find "\QtProjects\Symbian\Carbide\workspace\MainWindow\ BLD.INF" MainWindow Unknown C/C++ Problem

---

I also tried from Qt S60 Command prompt the following -

Quote:

---

C:\QtProjects\Symbian\Carbide\workspace>cd MainWindow
C:\QtProjects\Symbian\Carbide\workspace\MainWindow >qmake
C:\QtProjects\Symbian\Carbide\workspace\MainWindow >make
make: Error -- Configuration file `/etc/startup.mk' not found
C:\QtProjects\Symbian\Carbide\workspace\MainWindow >

---

I searched a lot on net but in vain. Finally I realised that the tower exe installs only Qt sources on the folder.
My question is - is it necessary to build 4.5.2-tower ?? The Qt libraries are installed in S60 SDK's so cant Carbide pick them from those SDK's ??
Can someone point me where I am going wrong or how to rectify the above errors ?

I will on monday try to build the C:\Qt\4.5.2-tower folder... but meanwhile if I get the answers, it will be very helpful :)

FYI: I was trying to install the above on WindowsXP machine...

If you have listed the applications you installed correctly, it seems that you did not install ActivePerl-5.6.1.635-MSWin32-x86.msi and a Java runtime environment.

The install docs recommends that exact version of ActivePerl. You should also run:

All Programs -> Carbide.c++ v2.0 -> Configure environment for WINSCW command line

if you want to build from the command line.

HTH

Ohh sorry I didnt mention that as it was so by default.
I do have ActivePerl-5.10.0.1004-MSWin32-x86-287188 installed on my system and JRE 1.6.

I had also tried All Programs -> Carbide.c++ v2.0 -> Configure environment for WINSCW command line. But no use :-(

One thing I would like to ask... is there any order that we need to install the above...
I did install the SDK first, then PC suite, then Carbide,,, then Qt for S60 Tower..

I will tomorrow again try where am wrong..

This is what probably is causing your build to fail:

ActivePerl-5.10.0.1004-MSWin32-x86-287188

What you need is:

ActivePerl-5.6.1.635-MSWin32-x86.msi

As for the order, I think what you did is ok because that is the same order I installed.

Well, 5.10 is latest version than 5.6 . So I guess that shouldn't be a problem.

May be I am missing something on environment settings. To be sure I will try installing on other pc... and see if things work..

If you read the install doc that came with the S60 SDK, it specifically states that only 5.6.1 would work with the build tools.

Hi Jasper.. I dont know what I tried.. but when I tried in evening, the program compiled !!
I was trying some settings in morning then left it. Then in evening it was like a surprise,,,
but yeah am getting other troubles while trying to make package..

One thing I noticed,, I have MKS installed on same system... so may be some path problems.
Rest now I can surely say that Active Perl 5.10 should also work :) bec I didnt change my perl version ;)

Rest I will see if I can manage to get all things right.. but may be next month.. am on vacation after a day :cool:

After vacation too I tried a week or two in my spare time trying to set the environment ,,,, all in vain . I re installed everything step by step but still was not able to get things running. Even tried with Qt Creator a lot..but still in vain.

Finally I landed on this post and indeed following it solved my problem too !!!

Resolution :
1) Invoke Qt S60 command prompt/
2) set QMAKESPEC to symbian-abld
3) set QTDIR to the proper symbian Qt directory. ( I have the 4.6.0-beta1 for symbian)
4) invoked carbide from the command prompt.

Then I made sample hello world app as per the steps before... and it ran !!
Hello symbian :-)

Now trying to make .sis file.. some prob with certificate... but will find a way for that too :)
