Re: Errors Compiling in Windows Vista

Changing the PATH, the cl_bpabi.pm file and then the GCCE.mk file according to the information above, helped me to compile

 
              abld build gcce urel

on Windows Vista as well.

However: now "bldmake bldfiles" does not work. It will cause the error:

        cpp.EXE: Too many arguments
        BLDMAKE ERROR: ERROR: cpp.exe returned non-zero exit status (8448)

So, for the moment, I need to have two different GCCE.mk files, one for building (with the additional libraries added to SYMBIAN_UREL_LINK_FLAGS) and one for making the bldfiles. Moreover, these two mk files cannot be in the same "compilation_config" directory. All mk files located in this directory get executed.

Obviously, this is quite a messy solution. Any help, at least to solve the "double gcce.mk file" problem would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Machiel

Here's the patch from nokia for cl_bpabi.pl:

http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Forum_Nokia_Wiki:Moving_to_Windows_Vista_%28tm%29

Similar (if not identical) changes should work for UIQ.

Also, I couldn't get the link to work based on the directions from the FN wiki, I used Gary's "hacky fix" to the SYMBIAN_UREL_LINK_FLAGS
and then I could create the final executable. I didn't have to modify my PATH at all.

Cheers,
Tim

GaryBluem thanks a lot for the information, right now I downgraded the PC to XP and is working fine, but I'd like to check it again.

The PATH was in the correct order, that problem was easy to detect

Editing the GCCE.mk sounds like a good solution, but I also think that somebody on Symbian would let us know wheat are we doing wrong, but I think is a OS incompatibility.

eric, I made the same installation in both PCs, the only difference was the OS version.

I often experience similar issues (but on XP) during our training sessions when the Symbian toolchain has been installed by trainees. As GaryBlue mentionned, this is because UIQ SDK doesn't configure the CSL Arm Toolchain properly (this is quoted in the release notes of the SDK... so it is sometimes important to read it, no matter how boring it is!).

For me the fix are:
- install the S60 SDK before the UIQ SDK and install the Gnu toolchain with the S60 SDK.
- if you can't do that, adding c:\program files\csl arm toolchain\bin to the PATH did the trick (you may have to restart your computer so that the new path is really taken into account).

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem, only for me it was UIQ 3 SDK that worked pre-Vista and not after, and the S60_2 SDK worked fine

Anyway, after doing the same as you described (editting the .GCCE file to correct it) and finding the same problem executing cc1plus I found that adding c:\program files\csl arm toolchain\libexec\gcc\arm-none-symbianelf\3.4.3 to my path as well as ...\bin and ...\arm-none-symbianelf\bin solved that problem.
I also had to make sure these are in the path before c:\program files\common files\symbian\tools (if its there).

I then found that it couldn't find several libraries.
This can be fixed by editting the GCCE.mk file in C:\Symbian\UIQ3SDK\epoc32\tools\compilation_config\, which is included in the .GCCE file.
My hacky fix here was to add -L"c:\program files\csl arm toolchain\arm-none-symbianelf\lib" -L"c:\program files\csl arm toolchain\lib\gcc\arm-none-symbianelf\3.4.3" to the end of SYMBIAN_UREL_LINK_FLAGS

You can also do a slightly cleaner version of the first fix you mentioned in GCCE.mk by setting the CC_INSTALL_PATH variable, which effectively skips that problem. Unfortunately the second occurance (in the INCDIR line) doesn't appear to be fixable like this so in the end you're stuck with setting the .GCCE file to read-only.

All of this is highly inconvenient and hopefully someone at Symbian will eventually let us know what we're doing wrong.
In the mean time at least I can now build executables.

(BTW I posted the first part of this as a reply to the thread you mentioned on the Nokia forum)

HTH
Cheers,
Gary

Did you manage to get anywhere with this? I'm experiencing the exact same problem
