Hello World C/C++ application on Simulator Blackberry

[ Edited ]

Hello,

 

I have downloaded Cascades SDK https://developer.blackberry.com/cascades/ in order to be able to build C/C++ applications on Blackberry. I have also downloaded a Simulator, which I ran using VMWare Fusion. When I try to run just some simple empty/"hello world" project I get an error (image attached).

Any help appreciated.

 

ps. Is there no some nice link which shows how to create some Hello World application for C/C++ using Simulator on Blackberry 10? Thanks.

There are many sample projects.

There is also a basic Hello Cascades sample on this site.

Although, not the 'Hello World', the above link takes you step by step into creating your very first application via Cascades.

 

The steps to

 * Setting up a project

 * Running the app, and

 * Launching the app

 

are explained.

Hope this helps :Angel:

Re: Hello World C/C++ application on Simulator Blackberry

Thanks I have seen some samples and I am working on some of them now; The unexpected thing for me was seems I can use both QML and C++ to build apps right? Which one should I prefer, can QML be used to create complex apps? thanks.

QML should be used to create the user interface. It is a lot easier and faster to develop in QML than in C++. But the features of QML are almost limited to UI development. So everything else has to be done in C++.
