How to build an app under QT for S60

[harry_zhang]

I've successfully build QT demos for S60 emulator by following the installation guide at http://pepper.troll.no/s60prerelease...pensource.html.

However, what console command needed to create bld.inf and .pkg file for a self-created single application. It seems that configure.exe helps do these work for all demo/sample applicaitons, but it's really too heavy.

Any suggestion or guidance are welcomed, many thanks in advance!

Call qmake on your project's *.pro file.

Call qmake on your project's *.pro file.

It works! Many thanks!

BTW, I found that qmake generate bld.inf, .pkg and MAKEFILE based on .pro file, can u kindly share some links to learn about how to write such a .pro file of QT for S60?

Thanks again in adv!

Hi,

In general you can use the standard .pro files (Qt is cross platform and the .pro file can be used to create the necessary build files for all the different platforms). Just look at the standard Qt documentation on the Trolltech site, or the examples in the technology preview.

There are some Symbian specific extensions for setting things like UIDs and capabilities. As far as I'm aware there isn't any public documentation for these yet.

I'ts important to use the pro files for all the settings as any direct changes to mmp files will be lost.

BTW if anyone notices there's something that can't be defined in the pro file but can be set to the mmp file please post it f.ex to this forum.

Cheers,

From my discussions about this on the qtS60-feedback list it seems the plan is to allow arbitrary additions to the MMP file from the .pro file with custom MMP rules. So there shouldn't be anything you can't do in the MMP.

There is documentation available about Symbian extensions to pro file in the Qt for S60 developer's library:
