I am trying to get a screensaver to work and I need to test it in a device. I am building for the Phone Debug (GCCE)[S60_3rd_FP1_4]. I can build for the emulator, but when I build for the phone I get this error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** missing separator. Stop.[\Symbian\9.2\S60_3rd_FP1_4\EPOC32\BUILD\Symbian\Carbide\workspace\EmptyTest\group\EMPTYTEST\GCCE\EMPTYTEST.GCCE] EmptyTest line 94 1206519932218 136
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is how my PKG file looks like. What can I do to get rid of the "missing separator" error?

Re: Why do I get "missing separator" error when I build the phon

is this a build time error or an error while creating sis file..
if it while creating sis file.. just check for the syntax for pkg file..

It is a build time error. Do you know how to solve it?

Re: Why do I get "missing separator" error when I build the phon

It just says EmptyTest line 94. EmptyTest is the name of the project, but it doesn't say in which file the error is. How can I find out that? I can build for the emulator without errors, but when I build for the device I get the error described above.

HAve you ever bin able to compile for GCCE target ?
Have you properly installed the CSL Arm Toolchain ? You may need to add the C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\Bin directory to your PATH variable if it is not there already.

Re: Why do I get "missing separator" error when I build the phon

I can compile GUI projects for GCCE target on my old XP PC, but I haven't managed to compile DLL projects like screensavers on it. But I am using my new Vista PC for developement now.

I haven't installed CSL Arm Toolchain but C:\Program Files\CSL Arm Toolchain\Bin is in my Path. It probably came there when I installed Carbide or the SDK.

Re: Why do I get "missing separator" error when I build

Whats your Operating System..Vista?

Note: Keep your Subject lesser than 60 characters (64 characters is maximum..but leave those 4 atleast for people who want to answer you) Its frustrating everytime when answering to some query you have to struggle with the subject!! Try not to ask the whole question in the subject itself Eye-wink

Re: Why do I get "missing separator" error when I build the phon

Yes you're right, I see now that my subject is far too long. I am using Vista and Carbide 1.3. I asked the Carbide support about Vista problems,but they said that Carbide 1.3 contained bug fixes, so it would work on Vista.

Well I would urge you to read through this and see if any of it is related (I feel it is Eye-wink )

Re: Why do I get "missing separator" error when I build the phon

Vista is still a no-go for me. I NEVER succeeded in compiling a GCCE project on Vista (despite having applied all proper patches). The issue seem to be related with GCCe and not just Carbide. Did not try recently though.
