Hi all,

I already posted this problem on the page about Eclipse plug-in for Symbian C++ development, but I thought perhaps it's more likely that someone steps over it here in the forum...

However, I am currently trying to make my first steps with symbian, using Eclipse as IDE. I installed and set up everything as described in the above mentioned tutorial, but when compiling, the dumpbin.exe can't be found. It's not a matter of setting the right paths, a problem that has already been a topic in this forum. Rather it seems that the dumpbin.exe file is not anymore contained in the current version of the Windows Platform SDK. This is mentioned e.g. on the Microsoft page about the SDK Tools.

I found a hint on another webpage about this which states that the file link.exe, contained in the Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003, can now be used for the same purpose. This should be possible by simply using "link -dump ..." instead of "dumpbin ..." before.

Unfortunately, IÂ’ve got no idea where the calls to dumpbin are defined, so I wasnÂ’t able to change them into "link -dump" as descibed above. Can anyone help me with this? Or, alternatively, does anyone know if there still is a way to get the "old" dumpbin.exe?

Thanks a lot,
Ralph

I see you have fixed the problem. The solution is on the Eclipse plug-in page.

Right. I wanted to post a link to the solution here anyway, but up to now I can't see that solution on the Eclipse plugin page. Any idea why that is?

Click Reload (or Shift-Reload if that doesn't help) Smiley

Oh, thanks a lot, shift+reload did it. I always thought a simple reload would be sufficient. Good to know... Cheezy
