<section id="GUID-B771213C-29EE-5F51-A051-66121E213B0D"><title>Component dependency</title> <p>For

a component with a dependency to be installed, the component it depends on

must already be installed on the Symbian device. In addition to this, the

version number of the required component must be same as or greater than the

version number specified in the dependency statement, or if a range is specified,

it must be within the range. If even one of these conditions is not met, the

installation fails. </p> <p><b>Syntax</b> </p> <codeblock id="GUID-6D03FB00-5402-53ED-B0E6-3EBD485FC89B" xml:space="preserve">(package-UID), version-range, {"Component name for language 1","Component name for language n",...}</codeblock> <p> <b>version-range</b> can consist of a single set of major, minor and

build numbers, for example, </p> <codeblock id="GUID-2C1AA1CE-C705-5D0C-997E-3A5035532E9C" xml:space="preserve">(0x10000003), 2, 2, 3, {"Depend-EN"}</codeblock> <p>Or

it can specify two sets of numbers, representing lower and upper bounds, separated

by a tilde character, for example, </p> <codeblock id="GUID-C48AAB0E-E1E7-5017-BB59-550D3335258E" xml:space="preserve">(0x10000003), 2, 2, 3 ~ 3, 0, 0, {"Depend-EN"}</codeblock> <p>A wildcard character can occur in any part of <codeph>version-range</codeph>. <codeph>*</codeph> or <codeph>-1</codeph> can

platform dependency</title> <p><b>Syntax</b> </p> <codeblock id="GUID-BB1C0ADB-CCD5-5B0A-88EB-A6D46DD8514D" xml:space="preserve">[productUID], version-range, {"ProductName"}</codeblock> <p> <b>productUID</b> is a UID that identifies a specific Symbian device

or a UI platform. For lists of product UIDs, see the device creator website

or SDK documentation. The product UID is specified within square brackets

to distinguish a hardware dependency from a component dependency. </p> <p> <b>version-range</b> identifies

the required version of the target Symbian device or UI platform. It is used

in the same way as in a component dependency statement. It can specify a single

set of major, minor and build numbers, or may specify upper and lower bounds,

for a range of versions. </p> <p>It is recommended that versioning information

be supplied using <codeph>version-range</codeph>, for example, UI platform

versions. However, in practice, the target hardware version may be inherent

in the product UID, in which case the <codeph>version-range</codeph> can consist

of wildcards. </p> <p>The component name is used for reporting rather than

matching purposes. See the Symbian device or UI platform manufacturer's technical

documentation for the recommended text to use. </p> <p>For example, the following

statement defines a dependency on UIQ v2.1: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-B0E328FE-EB31-530A-8411-5DAE71E87077" xml:space="preserve">[0x101F61CE], *, *, *, {"UIQ21ProductID"}</codeblock> <p>and this statement defines a dependency on the Series 60 platform second

edition: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-4C0084D4-64B7-5BB8-B466-4057776D5C38" xml:space="preserve">[0x101f7960], *, *, *, {"Series60ProductID"}</codeblock> <p><b>Example</b> </p> <p>This example package file demonstrates a UI platform dependency.
