Overview

This article covers how to set up environment to work with Qt Mobility API.

Prerequisite

• Install the S60 SDK
• Install Carbide.c++ v2.3 or Qt Creator IDE

• In this series, S60 5th Edition SDK is used as a base.
• Carbide.c++ v2.4 is used as an IDE

Steps

Setup Qt 4.6.2

• Download Qt 4.6.2 for Symbian from here: qt-symbian-opensource-4.6.2.exe
• Install it on your PC.

• Choose the path of installation

• Choose the Symbian SDK

• Qt 4.6.2 provides its own configured command prompt with the variables set
• Once the installation of Qt 4.6.2 is completed, you can find the Qt command prompt as shown in the following picture:

• Use this command prompt to work with Qt development which will make the process easier

Setup Qt Mobility API 1.0.0 beta 1

• After successful installation of Qt 4.6.2, the next step is to build Qt Mobility APIs
• Download QtMobility API: new-qt-apis
• Extract it to the folder of your wish. In this series, it is extracted to C:\QtMobility\ folder (Make sure to all the files directly under C:\QtMobility API to make the efforts easier)
• Once you have extracted the Qt Mobility API, perform the following steps:
• configure

• make debug-winscw

• make release-gcce

• Download .sis for your Symbian device from this link: http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/solutions/qt-mobility-symbian-1.0.0-beta1.zip
• Extract that .zip file and you will find install_to_device folder in it.
• Install the qt-mobility-1.0.0-beta1.sis from install_to_device on your mobile phone.
