Scanning for ABLD Errors and Warnings

Revised on Saturday, August 7, 2010
Created on Friday, July 30, 2010

Symbian’s ABLD build system tends to produce a lot of output, especially when run with the verbose flag (-v), as I like to do to see the compiler invocations. Also, ABLD likes to run to “completion” despite individual build steps failing. The end result is that it takes some effort to look for the errors and warnings in the output. Some suggest scanning ABLD output in order to terminate the build on error or to highlight errors and warnings.

On Patching S60 SDKs for GCCE 4 Compatibility

Written on Sunday, August 1, 2010

I’ve tried GCCE version 4 before for building Symbian software, but have been somewhat put off by all the warnings it produces, mostly due to incompatibilities with the header files in the existing S60 SDKs. Well, I finally managed to get a working S60 application built with GCCE 4 without any warnings. Mind you, this was just one application, and not built with the full Symbian toolchain, but still. I used the S60 5th Edition SDK with a number of patches, some of which I have posted here.

S60 SDK API Plug-in Installation for GnuPoc

Written on Thursday, May 29, 2008

The SDK API Plug-in package for S60 SDKs has quite a few interesting APIs, such as the Browser Launcher API and the New File Service Client API. Some days ago I wrote a script for installing plugins from the package onto GnuPoc style SDKs. It may be downloaded from http://www.hiit.fi/files/fi/da/gnupoc/.
