How to build a MEAD generated application

Your minimal application can be built from the command line or from within Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, depending on which makefile platforms were selected.

To build a MEAD generated application for execution on the emulator from the command line:

• Navigate to the group directory of your MEAD generated project

• Enter abld target wins—both debug and release variants of the application will be generated

• When the build is complete launch the emulator.

To build an application for execution on a Symbian device enter abld target armi urel and copy the application files to the target device.

To build your application, from within Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0:

• Select the File | Open Workspace menu item

• Navigate to the location specified by MEAD in the completion dialog for the GUI Visual C++ Project Workspace—select the .dsw file that is present there. The GUI component of the application should load into the IDE.

• Select the Project | Insert Project into Workspace... menu item

• Navigate to the location specified by MEAD in the completion dialog for the Engine Visual C++ Project Workspace—select the .dsp file that is present there. The Engine component of the application should load into the IDE

• Select the Build | Set Active Configuration menu item, choose the "APPNAMEENG - win32 Uni Debug" entry from the displayed selection dialog and click OK.

• Hit the F7 key to build the GUI component of the application

• Select the Build | Set Active Configuration menu item, choose the "APPNAME - win32 Uni Debug" entry from the displayed selection dialog and click OK

• Hit the F7 key to build the GUI component of the application

• To launch the emulator hit Ctrl+F5—a dialog will appear prompting for the location of the executable for the debug session. Click the arrow on the right of the dialog, browse for and select EPOCROOTepoc32\Release\wins\udeb\epoc.exe and click OK to close the dialog.
