Unable to build for Symbian with new Qt SDK 1.1 Tech Preview

SimonJudge

ummm. I found the auto build for the sis useful. When I click on the 'run' icon to start a deploy I get...

Unable to acquire a device for port ''. It appears to be in use.
Error while building project Test2 (target: Symbian Device)
When executing build step 'Deploy'

... presumably because I am not connecting a real device (and don't want to)

How can I just create the SIS (from the IDE)?

Thanks

Add a new deployment configuration that only has the packaging step.

SimonJudge

Thanks for the help but...

How do I do this? All the Run stages are removable except the first one that has the device serial port mentioned.

I have also tried to connect a C7 but while it connects (in PC Suite), it's not recognised by Creator.

Also, I have tried to create from the Symbian 4.7.1 command line (as per the help) in the project directory...

qmake && make release-gcce

... and I get...

Warning: No valid release platforms in SYMBIAN_PLATFORMS ()
Most likely required compiler(s) are not properly installed.
make: *** No rule to make target `release-gcce'. Stop.

Every which way, everything is broken.

The first part of the Symbian deploy configuration is just generic setup. Just remove the "Deploy to Device" step and you should be fine.

Is the device listed on the "Device serial port" combobox? Do you have TRK running on your C7? That is required to display the device information (available only after clicking on the little I icon).

Did you set up your environment when trying to build in the command line?

Of course you can just leave the settings alone and have creator build the package before it runs your code on the device:-)

SimonJudge

Great. Deleting the later (in the list) deploy fixed it.

I am less interested in the C7 connection and command line now that I have a sis.

Thanks for your help

Hi Tobias,
I'm very new to Qt development, I have installed the SDK 1.1 BETA and writing samples for S60 5th version.
I'm trying to connect the nokia5233 device with the QtCreator.
when I run the sample app in the QtCreator it is giving the error "Unable to acquire a device for port ‘’. It appears to be in use".
Above you mentioned "Add a new deployment configuration that only has the packaging step". Please let me know how to do this in QtCreator.

Just so you know, I have installed the Qt,OpenC, TRK,..etc on the device.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Bhupathi

Welcome bhupathirao, I suggest you start a new thread in the Tools forum with your question since it's not all that related to this one.

bhupathirao: Please check the documentation we ship with Qt Creator: That does explain all these details.

The Deployment settings are in Project mode, Run Settings.
