Question:
When I try to port an app, which runs fine with v5 of Symbian OS to UIQ, a lot of compilation errors
appear. What are the main changes that cause this problem to occur?

Answer:

There have been a number of changes between SDKs for Symbian OS v5 and UIQ SDKs for Symbian OS v7. The three main ones are:

1) The Project Files (.mmp)

Only UNICODEUID is specified. Narrow build is not available.

You will need to replace Eikon.lib with eikcore.lib, eikcoctl.lib; or with eikdlg.lib (for dialogs), or eikfilelib (for file dialogs) if the app requires dialogs.

2) The Resource Files (.rss)

The following are not available in UIQ:

#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
they can be replaced with:

#include
#include
#include
3) The Header/Source files (.h /.cpp)

You will need to replace occurrences of #include with #include .
The function SetRectL(..) does not exist anymore and can be replaced with SetRect(..)
