Qt for the Symbian platform Requirements

Qt for the Symbian platform requires the following software installed on your development PC:

Carbide.c++ v2.0.0 or higher
- Note: It may be necessary to update the Carbide compiler. See here for instructions how to check your compiler version and how to patch it, if needed.
ActivePerl v5.6.1 build 638
- Note: According to Symbian, version 5.6.1 build 638 is mandatory. Using later versions may result in unexplained errors.
S60 Platform SDK 3rd Edition FP1 or higher
- Note: Users of S60 Platform SDK 3rd Edition FP1 also need special update. The update can be found here.
Open C/C++ v1.6.0 or higher. Install this to all Symbian SDKs you plan to use Qt with.
Building Qt tools from scratch requires MinGW 3.4.5 or higher, or another windows compiler.
- Note: This is not required if you are using pre-built binary package.
Building Qt libraries requires RVCT 2.2 [build 686] or later, which is not available free of charge.

Running Qt on real device requires the following packages to be installed on your device. The packages can be found in the Symbian SDK where you installed Open C/C++:

nokia_plugin\openc\s60opencsis\pips_s60_<version>.sis
nokia_plugin\openc\s60opencsis\openc_ssl_s60_<version>.sis
nokia_plugin\opencpp\s60opencppsis\stdcpp_s60_<version>.sis
