One of the programmers on #mobitopia was kind enough to build the simple, DLL-based guiengine example from the Nokia SDK for me on windows. I’m using it to test against my linux build. I copied all of the files (the .app, .rsc, and .dll) over to the phone and it works. Then I copied over my own .app file, built against the windows .lib, and that ALSO works. Yay! Now I see that my linux build isn’t making the necessary .rsc file. Why not? Oops, that’s my fault, when I took out the AIF file from the makefile I also removed the RSC. I just need to remember to copy the .rss file into the src directory next time. OK, I can make a .sis file for the application side of guiengine now on linux and it works OK.

Now I have built my own DLL from the same source but on linux. If I run strings on the .lib files I see some differences. I’m not sure yet what the differences actually are. In any case, I can build the .app against the linux .lib, install it on the phone with the windows .dll still in place, and it will run. However it crashes when I attempt to draw a shape (with KERN-EXEC 3).

Finally I have renamed C:/System/Libs/shapemanager.dll to Wshapemanager.dll and copied my own linux-built DLL into that directory. And I launch the app and it runs AND works. OK finally I have built I think a DLL that runs.

Here is the makefile for the DLL. Note that U1 and U2 must ALWAYS be those values for a DLL file. U3 and USIS3 should be the same.

Here’s my makefile for the app. These UID3 values, by the way, are from the example code.
