To build the example:
You can build the example from your IDE or the command line.
If you use an IDE, import the bld.inf file of the example into your IDE, and use the build command of the IDE.
If you use the command line, open a command prompt, and set the current directory to the source code directory of the example. You can then build the example with the SBSv1 build tools with the following commands:
bldmake bldfiles
abld build
How to use bldmake and How to use abld describe how to use the SBSv1 build tools.
For the emulator, the example builds an executable called resourcemanager.exe in the epoc32\release\winscw\<udeb or urel>\ folder.
To run the example, launch the executable resourcemanager.exe, then choose from the menu options. Press Esc to quit.
Note: this example requires an LDD, a PDD and a PSL (platform specific layer). If these are not provided on the platform you are using, the example will not run.
