Building an application for a mobile device from the CLI

Builds for the S60 emulator and for mobile devices require different compilers. The following instructions use the GCCE compiler delivered with the S60 C++ 3rd SDK, Feature Pack 1 to build for a mobile device. For instructions on building for an emulator, see "Building an application for the emulator from the CLI"

For more information on the differences between emulator and device builds, see "Building".

Before beginning to build the HelloWorldBasic example application for the S60 emulator, make sure you have set up your Command Line Interface (CLI) environment.

To build and view an application in an S60 device:

  1. Create a GCCE release build.

  2. Create and sign a Symbian Installation (.sis) file of the build.

  3. Install the sis file on a mobile device
