The downloadable code sample contains a command line based UIQ wizard for creating a Symbian OS project. This will enable you to rapidly create project files for Symbian OS applications.

The appwizard example includes a Windows exe file and the source code for the wizard application.

To install the wizard, copy "appwizard.exe" to a folder which is included in your search path. To see the current Windows path setting, give the command "set PATH". When the exe file has been copied to a folder in the path, the wizard can be run by giving the command "appwizard" with appropriate parameters:

appwizard name [uid]

An example of an invocation is "appwizard helloworld 0x01000002". The name is a string which describes the application, for example "helloworld". If no UID is given, the default value is 0x01000001. However, it is recommended to always give a unique UID, since this will make it possible for different test applications to coexist. For test applications, experimental UID's can be used and they should be in the range 0x01000000-0x0fffffff. When run without parameters, appwizard will display an explanation of the parameters.

The project will be created in a folder with the given name. The folder will contain the appropriate files, for example .mmp, .pkg, .cpp and .h files.

To build a project "myproj" that has been created using the appwizard, use the following:

$ bldmake bldfiles
$ abld build thumb urel
$ makesis myproj.pkg
