S60 Open to new features

In Carbide 1.3.1 we revamped the wording and internal code for the generation of console output. Mainly this was done to unify the option's wording and make it easy identify which console program and error output was sent to. Remember, the Console view has several default pages associated with it.

However, an additional step was overlooked in the Carbide manual, the editing of the epoc.ini file, which must be made for a couple of these options to work. Here's how to correct that.

The options I'm speaking of are seen in Symbian OS Emulation launch configurations on the Debugger page. Look there and you'll see these options:

• View program output - directs standard output messages to the Emulation Program Output Console
• View emulator output- outputs emulator messages to the Emulator Output Console

All well and good so far. However, to really make these work you also need to set a couple of options in your SDKs epoc.ini file you are using. Locate and open the epoc.ini file, then set the following options:

• Set LogToFile 1 to see View program output
• Set LogToDebugger 1 to see View emulator output

Save the changes.

Finally, verify that you have Carbide.c++ Build 36 installed by checking the Help > About Carbide.c++ dialog. If you have an earlier 1.3.1 build, click Help > Software Updates > Find and Install... to grab the latest build from the Carbide.c++ Update Site. The next time you want to view the above mentioned console pages you'll see the output you expect.
