Using GCCE and P.I.P.S.

There are some known issues when compiling a P.I.P.S. application containing the main() entry point and using the GCCE target compiler. A workaround is described in this section:

A workaround is described in this section:

  1. Patch file \epoc32\tools\compilation_config\gcce.mk file with the following details:

    AR=arm-none-symbianelf-ar
    ARCHIVER=$(AR)
    export ARCHIVER
    
  2. Modify the MMP file with the following statement:
    STATICLIBRARY libcrt0.lib
    
  3. Build the application using the GCCE target like abld build gcce urel.

The user code may look like the following:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
   printf("Hello Open C!\n");
   printf("Press a character to exit!");
   getchar();
   return 0;
}
