These error are not allowing me to run any sample code. please can any one tell me how can i solve this problem . I have set the target as a Simulator-Debug .

Answer 1

I had the same issue and I noticed that the Makefiles of blackberry projects are the sames except the QMAKE_TARGET tag. So I simply copied them from project directory and (project dir)/translations and changed QMAKE_TARGET to the proper project name. It built without any issue.

I would say it happened because of the git directory config when it was pushed.

Sounds like your x86/Makefile is not getting generated.

Can you open a regular command window and prep the shell using the bbndk-env.bat file from your BBNDK installation dir, then type the following from the top level of your demo project? (Replace YOURPROJECT.pro with whatever your .pro file actually is)

qmake -spec unsupported/blackberry-x86-qcc -o x86/Makefile YOURPROJECT.pro CONFIG+="simulator debug_and_release"

Does the x86/Makefile get generated? Any errors?

Can you post the Makefile for the demo you are using?
