Hi.
Anybody tries to use VS 2005 under S80?
IÂ’ve had project test.mmp, If I do makmake test.mmp vc7 IÂ’ll get a message:
Error: failed to find version information for LINK.EXE, after that I found in article how solved this error: Edit file C:\Symbian\7.0s\S80_DP2_0_SDK\epoc32\tools\winutl.pm
And edit the line if ((/^.+\s+Version\s+(\d)\.(\d{2})\.(\d{4})\s*$/o)
Change to if ((/^.+\s+Version\s+(\d)\.(\d{2})\.(\d{4})\s*/o)
But, when I create project file for VC++, I couldnÂ’t compile it:

Error occur: C:\Symbian\7.0s\S80_DP2_0_SDK\epoc32\include\e32std.h(1414) : error c2440: ‘initializing’ : cannot convert from ‘const wchar_t [1]’ to ‘TLitC16<S>::__TText’ with [S=1] There is no context in which this conversion is possible

So, can I use VS 2005 for develop application on S80?

Thanks.

Re: Using VS 2005
AFAIK Nokia is giving support for VS.NET 2003, that too you've to install the Carbide.vs add-in, the VS.NET 2003 with Carbide.vs will support all public SDK's which is available now.

No (and neither can you for S60, UIQ, etc...). VS 2005 is simply not supported at this time.

If you want you can use VS.NET 2003 with Carbide.vs.

Re: Using VS 2005
IF I cannot use VS 2005 Express to develop for UIQ, which other FREE tool can I use?
I can't understand if CARBIDE also include VS 2003 or if it needs it: if I install carbide, will I have all I need to start development? For WINS target too?

Re: Using VS 2005
Carbide.vs is for Visual Studio 2003.

Carbide.c++ Express doesn't need/use anything else (except the actual SDK, of course).
