  • 0

I tried to include files in my Qt program (for symbian) and ran it via the emulator. No files were exported. The code I’ve been using in my QMake file is:

symbian {
    TARGET.UID3 = 0xe22a34fe
    # TARGET.CAPABILITY += 
    TARGET.EPOCSTACKSIZE = 0x14000
    TARGET.EPOCHEAPSIZE = 0x020000 0x800000

    addFiles.sources = 01.jpg 02.jpg 03.jpg
    addFiles.path = .
    DEPLOYMENT += addFiles
}

OTHER_FILES += \
    03.jpg \
    02.jpg \
    01.jpg

As such, a call to QDir::entryInfoList() will reveal no files:

QDir dir = QDir::current();
dir.setFilter(QDir::Files | QDir::Hidden | QDir::NoSymLinks);
QFileInfoList list = dir.entryInfoList();
// list is empty.

Am I missing something in the .pro file?

    When you deploy these files, where are you expecting them to be placed? 

    addFiles.path = .

    to me is indeterminate – the is no ‘current’ directory when the files are deployed.

    Provide a path you know exists. I’ve certainly used the app private directory for this purpose:

    addFiles.path = \private\e22a34fe

    …then you can get the directory of your files with

    QApplication::applicationDirPath()

    If you are running on the emulator, also check if the files are deployed. If you are using the ‘real’ Symbian emulator (rather than the rather horrible QT version), you’ll find the file system under epoc32\winscw
