Overview
The Nokia N96 and other Nokia devices based on the same hardware platform (like 6788 and 6788i in China market) are not supported by Qt.
Detailed description
Qt aims to support all Symbian/S60 devices based on S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 or later. However, Qt libraries are built for ARM version 6 architecture (armv6) on Symbian, while Nokia N96 (a 3rd Ed, FP2 device) only supports version 5 (armv5).
The sis package containing Qt binaries can be installed on the Nokia N96 successfully. However, Qt applications are terminated with KERN-EXEC 3 panic on startup.
Solution
No solution available.


Wouldn't building a separate binary set for ARM5, and then autodetecting the device during the installation solve this? --arch33 13:26, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
