Installing the Plug-ins
This section guides you through the process of installing the plug-ins.
After developing the formatter and writer plug-ins, you can install them
using their SIS files.
The following steps outline the tasks to be performed to install the
formatter and writer plug-ins:
-
Build a ROM image with the core dump server stub SIS file,
coredumpserverstub.SIS
. The following is the package (PKG) file
used to create this stub SIS file:
&EN
%{"Symbian Software Ltd."}
:"Symbian Software Ltd."
#{"Core Dump Server Stub SIS"},(0x2000B26E),1,0,0
;
"" - "z:\sys\bin\coredump_svr.exe"
"" - "z:\private\10282FE5\additionalPluginList.plugin"
-
Create a package (PKG) file with the plug-ins and a .plugin file
called additionalPluginList.plugin
. This .plugin file must contain
the UIDs of your formatter and writer plug-ins.
The following is an example PKG file for the formatter plug-in:
&EN
%{"Symbian Software Ltd."}
:"Symbian Software Ltd."
#{"Core Dump Server SIS"},(0x2000B26E),2,0,0, TYPE=SP
;
"additionalPluginList.plugin" - "e:\private\10282FE5\additionalPluginList.plugin"
"myformatter.rsc" - "e:\Resource\Plugins\myformatter.rsc"
"myformatter.dll" - "e:\sys\bin\myformatter.dll"
-
Create the SIS file and install the plug-ins.
After the plug-ins are installed, the core dump server scans the .plugin
files found in its private directory on all drives when it restarts, and load
the plug-ins listed in it.
