These instructions were tested with the S60 3rd ed. SDK and we managed to build and run applications for N85 as well. =)

Thanks for these instructions.

Very useful stuff.

I just added the missing tags…

It seems 2005 is used because it is the one “certified” by Nokia for Symbian development. I don’t know of anyone who tried the 2009 version.

If you try it, tells us whether it works or not

You forgot to tag this article, it didn’t show up in the s60 rss feed.

Anyway, thanks for the article. Just a little question, do you or anyone else know why the 2005 version of GCCE must be used? Did anyone try it with 2009q1?

Comment on Compiling Qt for S60 (from GIT) on Linux by lizardo

Good to know! Actually it was just “rumors” that I heard… I’ll update the article accordingly.

I did not try yet the built libraries because I didn’t know how to create the .sis file (unlike the examples, where I can simply do “qmake && make release-armv5 && makesis .pkg”)… but it seems that I just need to:

cd src/s60installs
make sisx

Is that correct? Anyway, I still have some bug fixes to do and some rearrangement to the tree before requesting a merge.

Thanks for the feedback!

Great article! One minor correction though Qt does not require TCB capabilities. In fact, for most applications you can probably get by with the set of capabilities granted by self-signing. This is suitable for most of the examples shipped with Qt.

Even if you want to make an application that requires more than the basic capabilities, you pretty much never need TCB unless you are a device manufacturer

Comment on Running Qt for S60 SDK on Linux by lizardo

@grego: forgot to mention that I only tested these instructions on x86 32 bits. It may require changes for x86-64 support, only not sure what . If you make it work for 64 bits, let me know the changes so I can update the instructions.

Regarding the dos line endings, I was sure the patch applied correctly even with them (it worked on Ubuntu 8.04 x86 32 bits, at least). I’ll recheck and fix them.

Patch failed because of dos line endings, here is a patch:
