You could use the free Carbide.c++ Express, if you wish to do C++ development for Symbian OS based phones.

Visual Studio 2005 is not supported for Symbian development (Visual Studio 2003 would work with Carbide.vs).

Other alternatives is the commercial Carbide.c++ Developer or the older CodeWarrior 3.1.

I don't think anything has been done to support Borland tools in the last 2-3 years.

Carbide.j would work for Java development (or use Sun's Wireless Tool Kit).

It's better using Carbide.c++ a latest version (v 1.1 thought I didn’t try it might be better that the old version) can be obtained from here: Carbide.c++ Professional and Developer versions are out. And more over Nokia is going to give more support for Carbide.c++ in the future. The latest version of Code Warrior is 3.1 and they are not supposed to come with a new version.

Now in your case the problem is that you've build the application in 3.0 SDK but that is not supporting by Nokia 6600. For Nokia 6600 you've to build your application against 2.0 SDK.

Hello SunLikeStar,

Your Nokia 6600 falls into Symbian OS v7.0s. Series 60 2nd Edition device.
You need to download the appropriate SDK to get worked with.

You would find 3rd last entry in the download section from the following link:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n...16-3.0-mr.html

For future reference you can check for device specifications from the following link:

thanks a lot vin2ktalks & kiran10182..
i'l do the required & post a follow up

hey kiran the 3rd last entry is "2nd edition, wins", but i can see other 2n edition sdks in the list.. r u sure that the 3rd last entry is the latest one.. i mean for 6600..

also i checked the device specification befor downloading the sdk, in the recomended sdk's in 6600 specifications the 3rd edition sdk for os 9.1 is mentioned, (here: http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/6600 ) that's why i downloaded it..
a bit confused here, waiting for ur guidance....

This page is general for all SDKs, you have to select the appropriate SDK from the combo box. For your 6600 the right one is 2nd Edition, there you can find two one for Visual Studio (2nd Edition, WINS (101 MB)) and another for CodeWarrior (2nd Edition, CW (101 MB)). I hope as you are supposed to work in Carbide.c++ you would download the one which supports CodeWarrior.

Yes, You need to have Active Perl Installed.

Yea, you need to install Active Perl and Java to get the emulator working.I have Perl5.8.7 installed in my system.you can also try one of those versions or higher versions.
