Hi!

I'm facing some issues while trying to build for MC70 with Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional (OS CE 5.2.231317). I've spent more than a week in this issue so I really need help to solve this out.
Things I've done for the moment:

Installed:

everything to build for “MC3000c50b (ARMV4I)" and “Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional DTK (ARMV4I)”
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional.
Windows Mobile 6 SDK
.Net and everything is installed.
Windows Mobile Device Center
RhoStudio 5.3.2

Tested MC70 connection. It's working properly. It's detected by the WMDC and the connection is showed up in the MC70 aswell.
Configured JAVA to path: C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_67/bin
Configured both path to files from RhoStudio -> Preferences -> RhoMobile -> Windows Mobile

Cab Wizard: C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Mobile 6 SDK/Tools/CabWiz
VS build tool path: D:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/vcpackages/vcbuild.exe (it's installed in D: disk. This is properly set)

Configured build.yml. I've attached file and pasted it below.

--------------------INIT BUILD.YML-------------------
#sdk: "C:/RhoMobileSuite5.3.2/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rhodes-5.3.2"
sdkversion: "5.3.2"
name: "Total"
version: 1.0
vendor: "rhomobile"
build: "debug"
applog: "rholog.txt"
wp8:
  productid: "f7935680-87c6-0132-f202-64d4da6a52d0"
android:
  manifest_template: "AndroidManifest.erb"
  version: "2.3.3"
  android_title: 0
  logcatFilter: "APP:I StrictMode:I DEBUG:I *:E"
wm:
  sdk: "Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional DTK (ARMV4I)"
app_type: "rhoelements"
capabilities:
  - gps
extensions:
  - rhoconnect-client
  - rho-javascript
  - json
  - hardwarekeys
-----------------------END BUILD.YML----------------------

Despite I've configured build.yml to build with SDK: "Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional DTK (ARMV4I)" it seems to be built for MC3000c50b (ARMV4I) since the console shows this Release|MC3000c50b (ARMV4I). I haven't got any idea why it is building for that since I haven't set that. I even tried uninstalling MC3000c50b PSDK but that didn't work. I've attached the console output file.

I've tried building from console with the following command: $ rake run:wm:device and from RhoSuite with the following configuration:

Platform: Windows Mobile / Windows CE
Simulator type: Device
Build: Local

and had the same output in both.
The app is working properly for Android in simulator, Rhosimulator and several devices.

I hope you can help me out with this since my deadline is coming.

Thanks in advance,

Nicolás

Hi Nicolas,
you wrote that you've installed the "Windows Mobile 6 SDK" but you're trying to use the "Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional DTK (ARMV4I)" in your build.yml.
Have you installed the WM 6.5.3 DTK on your machine?
if not, you need to specify "Windows Mobile 6 SDK" as WM SDK in your build.yml.

Another thing you can try is to build from the command line with the rake command. By memory:

rake device:wm:production

BTW the WinCE PSDK ("MC3000c50b (ARMV4I)") is not needed to build for the MC70.

Last note.
Are you sure you're using and MC70 (that is quite old) and not something like an MC75A? what is the part number of your device (see under the battery).

Ciao and Happy New Year
~Pietro
