Creating Carbide C++

June 12, 2006 C++ tutorial templates Posted by Markus Ahonen at 04:07 PM | Categories: Future directions, Product features, Tool setup, Work in Progress

Previously C++ project tutorials (that ship with the SDK or are available on Forum Nokia) have consisted of a separate doc and zip file containing the project that required you to import the MMP and open the instructions in a PDF reader. In order to make learning about S60 a little easier, one of our developers is investigating a more convenient way of accessing programming examples, to be delivered in v1.2 (or 1.1 if we're lucky). Take a look...

1. Invoke the tutorial project directly from the File --> New menu

2. Select desired tutorial (list only has 1 for demo purposes, but you get the idea)

3. Pick an SDK target (in case the example can target more than a single SDK)

4. Project is imported into the workspace in a few simple steps, and instructions laid out in the right pane, so you refer to them while viewing the project.

However... This model assumes that you even read these tutorials -- and that you actually like to read your instruction docs within the IDE.

Our assumption is that this would be a decent way of improving on how tutorials are currently shipped. Obviously, comments for or against would be great.

Your post reminded me "Application Wizard" feature for Carbide, i found it really usefull during Symbian development! Is it possible to extend Carbide with custom templates (wizard plugins)?

Hi Mindaugas,

You will be able to create your own wizards using the same template model we use. There's even documentation on it. It'll be available with the final product.

Out of curiosity, what kind of templates are you thinking of creating?

hi
i'm going to introduce with Carbide C++.
i found this page during search for tutorials.
when i open the New menu, i don't see the C++ Project Tutorials for S60. i use Carbide C++ v1.2.
as a newbie, is there any source which will guide me through development on a real application, step by step? i'm an expert in VC++.
please inform me by email. i may lose this page.
thx

Hi,
Ive recently started with development under Symbian C++. I'm using Carbide.C++ v1.2 and S60 FP2 Beta SDK. Though i didnt find any Project tutorial link under the New Menu I imported the bld.inf file into carbide. That worked for me, and the programs are compiling fine without errors.

But here's a problem im facing, when I create a New Symbian C++ GUI Application Project and try to build, I get a "Make Error stating No rule to make Target" it says projectname.winscw No such file or folder.

Can anyone please Help me out?

Thank you,
Rohit Joshi

S60 Open to new features
