A Simple Console Program</title><shortdesc> 		This section explains the steps to build the ConsoleApp program

using the 		FreeBSD source code.  	 </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<section id="SECTION_4C65EFF4E704402B917B1CECC81F76FE"> 		<title>Introduction</title> 

	<p> 		  This program converts a quantity from one unit of measurement into

		  another, prompting the user for input. Conversion information is provided

in a 		  data file, <filepath>slunits.dat</filepath>.  		</p>  		<p> 		  The

user is prompted for input, but it is important to note that STDLIB 		  does

not provide all of the functionality of a traditional console driver. 		 

STDLIB is intended to be a "behind-the-scenes" enabling technology, rather

than 		  an alternative user interface.  		</p>  		<p> 		  The code for the

ConsoleApp program was taken from the FreeBSD source 		  code (See <xref href="http://www.freebsd.org" scope="external">http://www.freebsd.org</xref>).  		</p>  	 </section>

<section> 		<title>Procedure to build the ConsoleApp</title> 		<p> 		  Build

the program using <filepath>bldmake</filepath> and <filepath>abld</filepath> as

		  the Hello example. For the Emulator, <filepath>slunits.dat</filepath> is

copied 		  automatically by <filepath>abld</filepath> into the correct directory.

For a target 		  phone, ensure that <filepath>slunits.dat</filepath> is located

in the directory 		  specified in <filepath>pathname.h</filepath>; this is

the root of the drive on which 		  the program is installed.  		</p>  		<p> 

	  To install <filepath>ConsoleApp.exe</filepath> on the target phone, create

a 		  <filepath>.sis</filepath> file using the Symbian Installation system.

 		</p>  		<p> 		  To run it on the target phone, invoke <filepath>ConsoleApp.exe</filepath>.
