A single PC can have multiple Symbian OS kits installed, each with a set of emulators. To run the chosen emulator, the following two command-line tools are used:
devices
:To choose one of the installed kits to use. For
more information, see Kit management.
epoc
: To run an emulator from the current kit. By
default, this starts the winscw debug emulator. A different emulator can be
chosen by specifying one or both of the flags; -wins
that
specifies a WINS emulator, and -rel
that specifies a release
emulator. See also Emulator launcher syntax.
The following are many other ways of starting an emulator:
by running the project being developed directly from the IDE.
by opening the appropriate emulator executable
(epoc.exe
) in Windows.
by running a text console program implemented as a .exe
.
The code to create an emulator console window is built into such programs so
that they can be started by simply running their exe
file from
Windows. By default, the GUI is also started, so that you will have to use the
GUI shell to navigate to the running console program. A console program can be
started without the GUI being started, by specifying the option
-dtextshell --
on the command line, or by adding the statement
textshell
to the beginning of the
\epoc32\data\epoc.ini
file.
