Has anyone got the etelsat.h header file ? I want to compile against the RSat Sim Application Toolkit interface and have etelsat.lib but not etelsat.h

cheers

Etelsat.h
I think anyone supplying you with that file would be breaching their Nokia NDA, which is a lot to ask for  Undecided . In any case, it is a commonly known fact that all the (relevant) information that is present in the header file is also present in the lib file, so with a little effort you should be able to extract what you need  Roll Eyes.

So you're suggesting I disassemble etelsat.lib I can see the hex stuff but isn't this a lengthy exercise ?

Etelsat.h
Hi

I'm quite sure you won't find that file, at least anything that would work on nokia phones, since it's not even in the 9210 V0.1 SDK.

Anyway, What stuff are you needing from there?

Etelsat.h
So, all you need is to type the method signatures into a file rsat.h and you're done Smiley. That is about 10 minutes of work.

header file reconstruction
okay, I'm currently working through the entire RSat class and associated classes though 10 minutes is a bit ambitious!
if it is straightforward to recreate this header file then why on earth was it omitted in the first place ?

cheers

Etelsat.h
The truth is that all header information can be recreated from SDK binaries, but, apparently, the phone manufacturers like to practice "security by obscurity" in their SDKs   Cheezy. The headers are "missing" but all the information is there either in documentation or binary files. Go figure...

Etelsat.h
Something I forgot to tell you: there was a mention in the Symbian forums that a version of the etelsat.h file was included with a P800 SDK (I don't know which one). It's not guaranteed that it will be compatible with your platform, but if there are any binary compatibility problems, the linker should let you know.

Happy coding,
Pawel
