Build and Usage

The example may be in the directory in which you installed the Symbian platform, or it may be in src\common\developerlibrary\ . The example includes the project files needed for building: bld.inf and two .mmp files.

The Symbian platform build process describes how to build Symbian programs. To run this example:

1. Build CreateStaticDLL project, which results in the following:

   \epoc32\release\<target>\<urel or udeb>\CREATESTATICDLL.DLL .

   \epoc32\release\<target>\<urel or udeb>\CREATESTATICDLL.lib .

   They are needed by the UseStaticDLL project.

2. Build UseStaticDLL , which results in:

   \epoc32\release\<target>\<urel or udeb>\USESTATICDLL.EXE .

   This project use the DLL created in the previous steps.

3. Run the executable USESTATICDLL.EXE .

   Executables for the winscw target can be run on your PC. Executables for ARM targets must be copied to a phone before being run.
