Qt 4.7.1 problems on Symbian^3 emulator
-
Hi,
I have found one more interesting problem:
When installing the Qt 4.7.1 over the S^3^ SDK, only binaries (e.g. .dlls) are rewritten, while Qt header files remains untouched. I have saved immediately after start up the QT_VERSION_STR string to qDebug() and the result is still 4.6.3...

Which version of FN Symbian SDK you are using? I've tried both 0.8 and 0.9 and they fail miserably when compiling Qt itself so don't expect to have full support on these yet. Symbian PDK is to my knowledge the only working Symbian^3 SDK out there.
From my experience:
0.8 is binary incompatible with Firmware on N8, works if you have pre-built Qt.
0.9 is missing hal.h so nothing actually compiles. This is actually very odd thing as we had 3 different machines all of them 0.9 installed and in one of the machines (Win7) hal.h is extracted but the other 2 (Win XP) are missing it. So we made tests to see what could be causing it but didn't find anything conclusive. I ran on my machine both custom and full install without getting hal.h.I also posted on the FN thread with my alter ego jakoskin ;)

[/quote]One thing you could try is to delete (or move) the Qt headers from epoc32/include to force the use of headers under Qt/include .

Hi koshui,
I have 0.9 S^3^ SDK, I did not tried the PDK... I will probably wait until a 0.9 SDK compatible version will be available on forum.nokia pages:))

[/quote]I will try to delete old header files (hope there are really only under /mw/qt* subdirectory), to force the Carbide.C++ to use the new from 4.7.1 SDK - but still I am afraid that the font problem will not gone...

[/quote]That is the correct directory.
Can you try copying fonts over from 5.0 SDK ? It wouldn't surprise me at all if the font files are corrupted (or missing). -
Hi,
I will try today to delete headers and overwrite fonts (BTW - have you idea, where I can find them) and put here some feedback. Hope there will not be other problems...

According to http://developer.symbian.org/xref/oss/xref/Symbian3/sf/os/textandloc/fontservices/fontstore/src/FNTSTORE.CPP they are in \resource\fonts and in Font&Bitmap Servers SID.
Copying fonts over will most likely have some nice side-effects :)

Hi,
I have tried to change header files - this helps in a way, that QT_VERSION_STR is now 4.7.1, but application was still crashing. Then I tried to replace the fonts with those from Qt 4.7.1. SDK, but it has no positive effects. The SDK is simply not ready to be used in Carbide.C++, at least this is my conclusion from this...
If anyone will succeed running 4.7.1 with S^3 SDK on Carbide.C++ please give a note here...

I replied to FN as well. Qt4.7.1 and Symbian^3 0.9 were never tested to work together and use incompatible build configuration.
I understood that you knew this and wanted to try anyways. -
Hi koshui,
Now I understand that... Thanks for your support, even I was unsuccessful it gave me some knowledge... Please understand that it was little bit confusing for me, that the the Qt 4.7.1 and S^3^ both are available but they are not compatible... I should read the http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/supported-platforms.html first., now I clearly understand that only S60 5th is tested and supported and older 3rd and never S^3^ not.
Is there any roadmap/plan where the newest Symbian OS will be supported?
Have a nice day and thanks

Stenlik, just saw "this":http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2010/12/12/start-with-qt-4-7-for-symbian-today/ lab blog post about running Qt 4.7.1 on Symbian, so give it a shot and let us know

That's for QtCreator chetank...
Doesn't really show anything we aren't already doing :P
I did that stuff the day Qt4.7.1 came out.
