New to C++ development on target Symbian/Series 60 (i have a 6600),
i have installed :

- Metrowerks Codewarrior for Symbian personal 2.0,
- Series 60 Development tools (SDk 2.0 for Symbian OS - Metrowerks) Codewarrior,
- JRE 1.4, PERL, ...

When compiling the Series 60 Ex involving external ressources such as images (bmp) or invoking the ressource comiler (rcomp), i am getting errors like :

Symbian resource - "BMCONV Bad command file"

even
if EPOCROOT is set or not
and
BMCONV IS known as windows command !!

It seems i have a problem within metrowerks to invoke resource compiling tools form symbian ?!!!

I know there is a post regarding this error message but the answer does fit me  Sad

Thx by advance.

Do you have the Epoc32\tools directory on the path?

Have you set up the default device using the devices command?

Anyone solved this one? I am still running on the same problem with sample projects containing resources. Simple projects without resourcefiles are compiled, linked and run ok.

I have confirmed that the correct epoc32\tools is in path and also the source tree in global preferences point to the correct SDK.

My system is Windows XP, CodeWarrior 2.5, Perl 5.6.1, JDK 1.4.2_01 and Series 60 SDK 2.0 for CodeWarrior.

Any help is appreciated (google and search did not produce any

It's a known issue. Copy the tools epocaif.pl and bmconv.exe from the Series 60 2.1 SDK instead of 1.2 SDK as mentioned at the link above.
