Hey
Im wondering if can i compile,make,build my project without any IDE. For now i have CW and SDK supp CW and all works fine. I v read tones of tutorials how easy is building a project with symbian... bldmake bldfiles then abld build wins udeb but that doesnt work... it says me tons of errors...but abld build winscw udeb works fine... I guess i have to download SDK not supporting any IDE ? (but there is no such or i cant see it ) or what ? ;/ I m a bit confused couse i want to write my project in NOTEPAD (very easy project) and build it with free SDK not use any IDE. (not even use free IDE) I v tried to abld build wins udeb Example helloworld and i got errors so thats not project error i think but sdk... Can u tell me how can i do all stuff from bld.inf to sis file without IDE ? Thank YOU very much ! BG |

But you need to have either DevStudio (for WINS builds) or CodeWarrior installed to build for the emulator, because these are invoked by abld build wins or abld build winscw respectively.
So, yes you can can compile and test your project without an IDE by writing it in notepad and compiling for hardware. You just won't be able to build and test for the emulator. This is OK except it makes it a heck of a lot harder to debug
However, carbide.c++ Express will be free and allow you to do emulator development for S60 2nd and 3rd Edition and UIQ. More info here: http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/0,6566,1_84,00.html

I understand that when i have 'clear' computer (without any IDE installed nor DevStudio) and i install SDK, write my project in Notepad and make it for armi urel it ll works.
But now lets get back to the emulator thing..
Iv make some google and still not sure i guess DevStudio is something from microsoft ? where can i find it and is it free ?
And the second thing...
I have no IDE i use notepad and make build for armi urel and sell my sis file on market. It is legal.
But lets say i use free CW version on second computer and i test it on emulator. I dont sell THIS project but i sell stuff 'from' notepad from second comp... is it still legal ?
Thanks again

Yes, MS Visual Studio comes from Microsoft. And no, it's not free, as far as I know, though there may be cheap copies around for students. The latest version is called Visual Studio .NET, previous versions are often referred to as MSDEV. It is the C++ compiler that comes with this IDE that is invoked when you call abld build wins, so if you don't have it installed, you won't get a working WINS build.
I have no idea about your second question because, praise be, I'm not a lawyer

There is also a free command-line version of the CodeWarrior compiler as described here: http://www.newlc.com/article.php3?id_article=914. As I understand it can be used with WINSCW emulators but I haven't tried it.

But open source license is not so good for comercial use... as i know u can sell yours projects but u need to open your source to any1 who want it.

Eclipse is released under an even more liberal license that allows you to use it in commercial applications.

There are also other open source licences. E.g. Eclipse is under the Eclipse Public License that allows you to include the code even in some commercial programs without giving out the source.
