\title Setting Up Development Environment for Symbian
When you install \QSDK, the build and run settings for Symbian devices
are set up automatically. You only need to connect the devices to the
development PC.
Connect the device to the development PC with an USB cable in
PC Suite Mode. If you have not previously used the device with Ovi Suite
or PC Suite, all the necessary drivers are installed automatically.
This takes approximately one minute.
To run Qt applications on Symbian devices, you must install the software
that Qt applications require, typically Qt, Qt Mobility, QtWebkit, and Open C.
The \QSDK installation program creates shortcuts for installing
the required applications on Symbian devices. You can also use any of
the standard methods for installing applications.
The tool chain for building applications locally on the development PC for
the \gui {Symbian Device} target is only supported on Windows.
If you develop on Linux or Mac OS, you must use the Remote Compiler
interface to a compilation service at Forum Nokia.
For more information about developing applications for the Symbian
platform, select \gui {Help > Index} and look for \gui {Platform Notes},
or see
\l{http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/platform-notes-symbian.html}{Platform Notes - Symbian}.
\section1 Hardware and Software Requirements
For deploying and running applications on the device, you need the
following:
\list
\o The Nokia USB drivers that come with \e{PC Suite} or \e{Ovi Suite}
\o The
\if defined(qcmanual)
\l{http://tools.ext.nokia.com/trk/}{App TRK}
\else
\e {App TRK}
\endif
application for your device
\o \e Qt installed on the device
\o \e {Qt Mobility APIs} installed on the device, if you use them in
applications
\o \e {QtWebKit} installed on the device, if you use web functionality
in applications
\endlist
In addition, you can install example applications, demos, and utility
applications, such as Nokia Energy Profiler and Nokia Performance Manager,
on devices.
The \QSDK installation program creates shortcuts for installing
the applications on Symbian devices.
\if defined(qcmanual)
To run your applications in the Symbian emulator, you also need
to install Carbide.c++ v2.0.0 or higher.
\endif
\section1 Installing Required Applications on Devices
Separate installation packages are provided for Symbian^3 and Symbian^1
devices. To check the Symbian platform version of your device, see
\l{http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices}{Device Details}.
\note You can also copy the .sis files from
\c {<QtSDK_install_path>\Symbian\sis} to the device using USB storage
mode and install them from the file manager on the device.
\section2 Developing for Symbian^3
\note The command names and paths depend on the \QSDK version that is
installed.
\list 1
\o Choose \gui {Start > Qt SDK > Symbian^3 Qt 4.7.2 > Install Qt 4.7.2 for
Symbian^3 on Device}. Follow the instructions on the screen to install Qt
libraries to the device.
\o Choose \gui {Start > Qt SDK > Symbian^3 Qt 4.7.2 > Install QtMobility 1.1.0 for
Symbian^3 on Device}
and follow the instructions on the screen to install Qt
mobility libraries to the device.
\o Choose \gui {Start > Qt SDK > Symbian^3 Qt 4.7.2 > Install TRK
(Debug Agent) for Symbian^3 on Device} and follow the
instructions on the screen to install
the TRK
debugging application to the device.
\o Choose \gui {Start > Qt SDK > Symbian^3 Qt 4.7.2 > Install QtWebKit
for for Qt 4.7.2 on Symbian^3 Device} and follow the
instructions on the screen to install QtWebKit to the device.
\endlist
\section2 Developing for Symbian^1
Symbian^1 incorporates Symbian OS and S60 5th Edition (S60 5.0), which is
built on Symbian OS v9.4.
\note The command names and paths depend on the \QSDK version that is
installed.
\list 1
\o Choose \gui {Start > Qt SDK > Symbian^1 Qt 4.7.2 > Install Qt 4.7.1
for Symbian^1 on Device}. Follow the instructions on the screen to install Qt
libraries to the device.
\o Choose \gui {Start > Qt SDK > Symbian^1 Qt 4.7.2 > Install QtMobility 1.1.0
for Symbian^1 on Device} and follow the instructions on the screen to install Qt
mobility libraries to the device.
\o Choose \gui {Start > Qt SDK > Symbian^1 Qt 4.7.2 > Install TRK
(Debug Agent)} for the type of the connected device and follow the
instructions on the screen to install
the TRK
debugging application to the device.
\o Choose \gui {Start > Qt SDK > Symbian^1 Qt 4.7.2 > Install QtWebKit
for for Qt 4.7.2 on Symbian^1 Device} and follow the
instructions on the screen to install QtWebKit to the device.
\endlist
In addition, you can install an example application and demos to Symbian^1
devices.
\if defined(qcmanual)
\section1 Adding Symbian Platform SDKs
\QSDK contains all the tools you need for developing Qt applications for
Symbian devices. To use Symbian APIs directly in your applications, you can
install additional Symbian Platform SDKs:
\list
\o \l{http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/resources/tools_and_sdks/S60SDK/}
{S60 Platform SDK 3rd Edition FP1 or higher}.
\o Either the GCCE ARM Toolchain that is included in the Symbian
SDKs, or RVCT 2.2 [build 686] or later (which is not available free
of charge)(Your environment needs to find the compiler in the PATH).
\o Qt for Symbian 4.6.2 or later, installed into the Symbian SDKs you want
to use.
\endlist
\section2 Setting Up Qt Creator
When you run Qt Creator after installing the Symbian SDK and Qt for
Symbian, the installed SDKs and their corresponding Qt versions are
automatically detected. For each detected Symbian SDK with Qt, a special entry
is made in the Qt version management settings in \gui{Tools} >
\gui{Options...} > \gui{Qt4} > \gui{Qt Versions}.
\note If you manually add a Qt version for Symbian, you must
also manually specify the Symbian SDK to use for this version.
\image qtcreator-qt4-qtversions-win-symbian.png
If you want to run your applications in the Symbian emulator, you need to
point Qt Creator to the Metrowerks Compiler that you want to use, by
setting the \gui{Carbide directory} of the Qt version to the corresponding
Carbide.c++ installation directory.
You can check which Symbian SDKs and corresponding Qt versions are found in the
\gui{Tools} > \gui{Options...} > \gui{Qt4} > \gui{S60 SDKs} preference
page.

\else
\section1 Building and Running Applications
You can test your application on a device by building and running
it from Qt Creator for the \gui {Symbian Device} target.
\list 1
\o Connect the device to the development PC through a USB cable.
The target selector displays a green check mark when a
device is connected.
\image qtcreator-qt4-symbian-device-connected.png
The tool tip of the target selector shows more details about the actual
device that will be used when you run your application.
\o Start the \gui{App TRK} application on your device and deny the
Bluetooth connection.
\o Select \gui Options to select USB as connection type.
\o Click the \gui Run button in Qt Creator.
\endlist
