Qt for Symbian, where to start?

[Lawand]

Hello, I wanna start using Qt to develop for the Symbian platform, and I was looking for an introduction document when I found the forum nokia Qt for Symbian Developer's Library v 1.0 and the Qt documentation The Symbian platform - Introduction to Qt document

What do you advice me to read?, since there are some differences between the two...

And another question, does the Qt SDK (specifically 2010.01) include Qt libraries 4.6.1 for Symbian?

The The Symbian platform - Introduction to Qt link is about compiling Qt from source.
Read Installing Qt on the Symbian platform from a Binary Package

and Qt for the Symbian platform Requirements

And another question, does the Qt SDK (specifically 2010.01) include Qt libraries 4.6.1 for Symbian?

Yes and No.
No because you will still need to install Symbian SDK's and other things.

so I don't need to download and install "qt-symbian-opensource-4.6.1.exe", right?

and another thing, Installing Qt on the Symbian platform from a Binary Package does not include any info about installing Symbian SDK or Carbide.c++ ...

Its better if you do. I will explain why...

and another thing, Installing Qt on the Symbian platform from a Binary Package does not include any info about installing Symbian SDK or Carbide.c++ ...

It does say. It has link Qt for the Symbian platform Requirements .. Sorry I repeated the other link in previous post.

Well now coming to installation...
Follow the link Qt for the Symbian platform Requirements . You will need to install all that.
Next you will need to install the http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt...urce-4.6.1.exe.
After this you have 2 choices,,, if you want to use Carbide for development or Qt Creator. If you want to use Qt Creator, it is recommended to download the Qt SDK. Am not sure if simply installing Qt Creator will work since the SDK was recommended in one of the videos. As for using Carbide, you can search in videos on youtube.

I would suggest installing the Qt SDK for using Qt Creator since I found it hard to configure only Qt Creator with many Qt versions I had on my system.

Then for using Qt Creator check out the videos on youtube. and on http://qt.nokia.com/products/platform/symbian

I dont think you will get it in first go,,, but trying is learning :-)

Hope this helps :-)
