Error: PKG file does not exist, 'sis' and 'installer_sis' target are only supported for executables or projects with DEPLOYMENT statement

unni

Hi,
I was trying to run the 'spectrum' demo available under 'C:\NokiaQtSDK\Demos\4.6\spectrum'. However, I get this error when I try to build:

Makefile:138: error: PKG file does not exist, 'sis' and 'installer_sis' target are only supported for executables or projects with DEPLOYMENT statement. Stop.

What could I be doing wrong? Please note that instead of building the demo from the above path, I copied the complete 'spectrum' folder to C:\NokiaQtSDKProjects\spectrum path.

Looks like the demo you are trying to build does not support symbian.

You will need to add that support. The most straight forward way is probably to set up a symbian project using Qt Creator's mobile application wizard and then copying all the symbian specific lines from the generated .pro-file over into the demo's .pro-file.

This will most likely need some additional tweaking (filenames, etc. are bound to be different), but it should at least provide you with a guideline to follow.

PS: Patches are welcome:-)

There are multiple .pro files in this folder. In all of them, I was able to see the word 'symbian'. For example, in the main .pro file, the following lines were present:

@symbian {
# Create a 'make sis' rule which can be run from the top-level

include($$QT_SOURCE_TREE/demos/symbianpkgrules.pri)

# UID for the SIS file
TARGET.UID3 = 0xA000E402

}@

I am not sure what this means since I am totally new to Qt itself. I haven't tried editing the files as you suggested because of this.

Also, a Google search took me to this "blog":http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2010/05/18/qtmultimedia-in-action-a-spectrum-analyser/#comment-7455 where somebody reported the same error. However, it seem to have got resolved automatically for him!

I think it already has the UID entry. I am posting the contents of the .pro files (there are 2 .pro files in this) below:

:) Why OMG? Because I posted the completed file contents here?!

I was actually creating Forum Nokia account and logged in to check the activation mail when I saw your reply. I will post there this question and will update here.

It's only a FFA for tamhanna. He's just spamming. He had to write a short sentence to pretend he shouldn't be banned.

I think the problem is due to you relocating the source dir. Does it work when you compile it in its original location?

The PRO file refers to a lot of relative dirs that are now dead ends. See the ones with "../" in them?

[quote author="tamhanna" date="1291484811"]Could you also show us the pri files?[/quote]
include($$QT_SOURCE_TREE/demos/symbianpkgrules.pri)

Comes with your SDK.

include(../spectrum.pri)

Comes with the app, which is also in your SDK.

[quote author="tamhanna" date="1291484811"]MHO, dead path errors are shown as such.[/quote]
Not in my experience :(

These are the contents of the .pri files:

spectrum.pri

@# The following macros allow certain features and debugging output

to be disabled / enabled at compile time.

Debug output from spectrum calculation

DEFINES += LOG_SPECTRUMANALYSER

Debug output from waveform generation

#DEFINES += LOG_WAVEFORM

Debug output from engine

DEFINES += LOG_ENGINE

Dump input data to spectrum analyer, plus artefact data files

#DEFINES += DUMP_SPECTRUMANALYSER

Dump captured audio data

#DEFINES += DUMP_CAPTURED_AUDIO

Disable calculation of level

#DEFINES += DISABLE_LEVEL

Disable calculation of frequency spectrum

If this macro is defined, the FFTReal DLL will not be built

#DEFINES += DISABLE_FFT

Disables rendering of the waveform

#DEFINES += DISABLE_WAVEFORM

If defined, superimpose the progress bar on the waveform

I tired to run the project directly from its original path. Even then, it gave me the error. Please note that it runs properly with Qt Simulator irrespective of the path.

Problem solved by using Qt 4.7.1 for Symbian.

The following posts helped me in finding the reason and for setting up Qt 4.7.1:
