This development guide is geared towards Symbian S60 3rd Ed, but it would be similar for others like UIQ or MOAP.
Components to install
- Carbide c++ IDE 2. Express is free, but without GUI designer.
- ActivePerl v5.6.1 - Newer versions will not work!
- S60 SDK - S60 3rd FP2 Beta is the latest
Importing Projects
To import existing projects, select “File > Import”. The to-be-imported project would require bld.inf. But if it does not exist, just create the file and enter the necessary info. Example:
PRJ_MMPFILES
HelloWorld.mmp
Replace HelloWorld.mmp with your project mmp file, which you would have.
