Install Qt Symbian build targets on Ubuntu Linux

Question

I want to install Qt SDK for Symbian on my home computer, which runs Ubuntu Linux. I have already installed Qt Creator from the repos, but it doesn't have the Symbian environment. If possible, I don't want a duplicate Qt Creator installed in /opt, because I already have the one from the repos. Just the Symbian build targets.

Answer 1

As far as I know the Symbian build targets aren't available by themselves from the Ubuntu repos. The full Nokia Qt SDK from Forum Nokia will do the job, but if you're not working on anything too critical, you could check out the Qt SDK 1.1 Technology Preview , which comes with the Qt Mobility 1.1 APIs, has better QtQuick support etc, and doesn't integrate with existing Qt SDK installations. In either case it might be an idea to uninstall the repo version of Qt Creator, otherwise you'll have two identical icons in your Applications menu.
