If you see an error like this:
'CDB' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
It means that your path is pointing to a wrong epoc
tree. To fix this, check your environment variable 'EPOCROOT
', if
this is set to '\', you need to be in the same directory as epoc32
directory.
If you get this far without any problems, it means your CDB is ready to run.
