Build: ok, run: not ok

[Pierre-Nicolas Rigal]

Hello,

 

I'm running the technology preview : qt-wince-preview-commercial-src-4.3CEconan (downloaded 09/18).

I'm running Visual Studio 2005, I choose VM 5.0 Emulator as a target.

 

Qt is compiling and running pretty well on the emulator, using VC2005 to deploy.

I checked out my source, I generated the vcproj and then start the build with VC2005.

 

I #ifndef'ed all the parts that are a bit too specific to compile. Everything compiles now without error.

 

When I deploy, I can see VC2005 uploading runtime DLL, Qts DLL:

 

------ Deploy started: Project: gdc, Configuration: Debug Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK (ARMV4I) ------

E:\qt\qt-wince-preview-commercial-src-4.3CEconan\lib\QtSvgd4.dll

E:\qt\qt-wince-preview-commercial-src-4.3CEconan\lib\QtXmld4.dll

E:\qt\qt-wince-preview-commercial-src-4.3CEconan\lib\QtGuid4.dll

E:\qt\qt-wince-preview-commercial-src-4.3CEconan\lib\QtNetworkd4.dll

E:\qt\qt-wince-preview-commercial-src-4.3CEconan\lib\QtCored4.dll

e:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\dll\ARMV4I\msvcr80d.dll

e:\cvs\gdc\bin\gdcd.exe

 

Then I get the following message:

>>> 

Unable to start program '%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\gdc\gdcd.exe'.

An error occurred that usually indicates a corrupt installation (code 0x8007007e). If the problem persists, repair your Visual
Studio installation via 'Add or Remove Programs' in Control Panel.

<<< 

 

If I go to the Emulator, start manually the program, I get:

>>> 

The file 'gdcd' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You
might need to reinstall or restore this file.

<<< 

 

I presume there is one dependency missing which is not uploaded to the emulator.

I tried to use depends.exe with my "gdcd.exe", but I'm not sure whether this can help for a cross compiled executable.

 

Any idea where I should look at ?

 

Regards,

Pierre-Nicolas

Hi,

 

which version of Qt/WinCE are you using? If it is the Technology Preview, then the C-runtime should have been automatically deployed
too. May you verify that this is true? I feel like this might be something going wrong in your case and I am interested to know,
whether this is the issue.

 

In theory it should be no problem to port a desktop Qt application to Windows CE. The less native code you use, the better. If you
use native implementations, then you might get into trouble because of missing functions/libraries on the Windows CE side.

 

Espen Riskedal is coming to Munich for the DevDays, so you will be able to talk to him then. Enjoy your trip.

 

 

Best Regards,
