Hello Mohamed,

From your description it is difficult to see the problem. The main task of makesis is simply to aggregate the files you just build, so that, you can send them to the handset.

File I/O generally means makesis couldn't local a file referenced in the pkg file. What does the pkg file look like? Using the -v option to makesis, what's the output look like?

Hello Mohamed,

Ok. Let's break it down. Would you show me the contents of your package file? It will be in your project and end with a .pkg file extension.

Hello Mohamed,

Ok, we see there are about four or file files(e.g., voiptest.exe, VoIPTestReg.r01, etc). The File I/O error gives you a line number which points at the offending line. Looking at the error message which line was it?

thx johnk
the error in the line no 11
"\epoc32\release\gcce\urel\voiptest.exe"-"!:\sys\bin\VoIPTest.exe", FF

Hello Mohamed,

yes, that looks a little off. For 5th edition, I would expect a relative path. I have it installed on the default location on my pc (c:\S60\devices\S60_5th_Edition_SDK_v1.0). Consider the AddressBook example. You'll find it here.

c:\S60\devices\S60_5th_Edition_SDK_v1.0\S60CppExamples\AddressBook\sis

The line for the main executable is

"..\..\..\Epoc32\release\gcce\urel\AddressBook.exe" -"!:\sys\bin\AddressBook.exe"

If I had built it, you'd find the resulting executable here (..\..\..\Epoc32\release\gcce\urel\AddressBook.exe).

so...how can I deal with this tybe of problem to get the file.sis
Regards

[johnk]

Hello Mohamed,

This is simple a question of relative paths. Consider the current working directory to be the directory containing the package file. Determine the relative path to the file in question. Update the package file accordingly. Viola. You're done.

I don't think there would be any problem in using absolute path. But this absolute path should be the absolute path in your PC and it should not be from EPOCROOT.

e.g. if your data is in D:\Epoc32\release\gcce\urel\ then your pkg file is correct. In this case I assume the exe you are referring is not in that location.
But if your path is something like D:\S60\devices\S60_5th_Edition_SDK_v1.0\Epoc32\release\gcce\urel\ then there is a problem. In this case you should either provide the correct absolute path or use relative path.

Cheers,
Dennis
