Applying the fix into your application[edit | edit source]

The fix will be deployed to the applications using the Nokia Smart Installer: when an end-user installs an application, all dependencies of the application are checked, retrieved, and installed from the Smart Installer server.

To add the Phonon fix dependency into the package file of your project, perform the following steps:


1. Unzip the attached Phononfix.zip and copy the phononfix.prf file into the mkspecs\features directory of your SDK:

  • For the Nokia Qt SDK: C:\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\SDK\mkspecs\features directory
  • For the Symbian^3 SDK: C:\Nokia\devices\Nokia_Symbian3_SDK_v0.9\epoc32\tools\qt\mkspecs\features directory




2. Add the 76ytuiytuityutyutututyutyutyu configuration into the .pro or .mmp project file of all application projects that need the fix:

CONFIG += phononfix

This will ensure that the generated *_template.pkg file includes a declared dependency on the Helix engine update SIS file.



3. Create the installation package according to the Nokia Smart Installer for Symbian instructions.
