Develop for Symbian under Linux
-
Hi all,
I need to develop a simple application for a symbian phone but I haven't a windows pc.
At home I only use Linux so I'm trying to develop under Linux.Is there someone experienced in this?
What is the definitive guide?
What kind of limitation are there?Thanks.

well, yes...
I'm still using "lizardo's approach":http://lizardo.wordpress.com/2010/10/11/qt-4-7-0-for-symbian-on-linux-now-with-qt-creator-support/ with "some extras":http://labs.danilocesar.com/blog/2010/05/05/symbian-development-using-linux-on-real-life/
However there's a official way described on qt.labs blogs. Just search for it.

You can also try "Remote Compilation" which worked quite well for me. You have to have an account at forum nokia.
First you code and try it in the Qt Simulator, then you switch to remote compilation target. The code is sent to nokia, compiles and you receive a .sis file as result, pretty neat!
You should find some maintenance tool in the Nokia SDK to install the remote compilation thing, it's under Experimental
