This problem occurs because you cannot have static data in a Symbian DLL, thus global variables must be declared const and must not call a constructor. An .app file is a type of .dll in Symbian.

I have added the libraries which are needed by ARMI, It seems that it needs some more libraries yet; but now I get a new error:
ERROR: Dll 'DBMS[101F5466].APP' has uninitialised data.
What can cause such an error?

Viewing the console output may be useful:

From your question I gather that you are using Carbide v.1 or v.1.1. In future please supply answers to questions.

1. In "C/C++ projects" right click on your project folder.
2. Click "Properties" on context menu.
3. In left pane click C/C++ Build.
4. In "Active Configuration", "Configuration" select ARMI or phone build
5. In "Configuration Settings", "Tool Settings" left pane select Linker->Libraries
6. On right Libraries add the library you want, but with .dso extention instead of .lib

I would suggest that you upgrade to Carbide.c++ v1.2. I find it much better, than previous versions.

What tools are you using to compile? In Carbide.c++ v.1 &v.1.1 you had to add the .lib files for each build type, WINCW and ARMI. For Carbide.c++ v1.2 and the command line you only need to add it to the .mmp file.

Hi,
I have a program in which I use some methods like DrawTextExtended for which we should use related libraries such as “gdi.lib”. My program work fine in Emulator but I can not make sis file for ARMI. I can resolve this by commenting the line of code in which I used DrawTextExtended.
Regards.
