Hello Guys

I am a bit confused by the myraid version of SDK for the Symbian, I am looking into developing for Series 60 phones, currently I have a 3650 and plan to get Siemens SX1 or Panasonic 700 or Moto A1000. I would like to have the code support 3650 and future phones, whats my best choice?

So there are:-

1.) SDK 0.9 (Supports Symb OS 6.0?)
2.) SDK 1.2 (Supports Symb OS 7.0?)
3.) SDK 2.0 (Huh)
4.) SDK 2.1 (Supports Symb OS 7.0?)

In addition there are som many variants like Microcoft, Nokia, Borland, Sendo etc edition.

I would like to use Borland C++ BuilderX Mobile Edition (BCX, not the BCB6) for development.

Could someone shed some light on this?

Thanks for your time

You need to use SDK 1.2 for the 3650. Applications written with SDK 1.2 will work on 2.0, 2.1, provided you stick to documented functions. Check the documents available for download on Forum Nokia (http://forum.nokia.com) for caveats.

SDK 0.9/1.2: Symbian OS 6.1
2.0/2.1: Symbian OS 7.0s

The different "editions" are for different IDE's (Integrated Development Environments); Microsoft, Borland, Metrowerks. They're different, because they depend on the emulator being compiled with a different PC/Windows compiler. The device compiler is the same one in all cases.

You only need 2. SDK's.

You can use 1.2 for 7650,3650,3660,SX1, 3620, NGACE, NGACE QD.

(Later too, if you do not need version dependent functionality.)

You can use  2.1 or 2.6 for the rest. Things will work if you do not use any functionality that is newer than your phone.

If you need to build 2exe's you need to manage the version somehow.

I have used builtin perl and seach/replace in the file in build directory to make defines and the #ifdef in the source.

Hi jayjay - could you please check for me - does code completion work with your installation of BCX?

I get the error:

"D:\Symbian\Dev\S60\8.0a\S60_2nd_FP2_MSB\epoc32\include\e32base.h:36:4: E2228 Too many error or warning messages"

Which seems weird to me!

Thanks a lot,

Hi,

I have not used the BCX much yet, but I fired it up to test if code completion works, NOPE, it doesnt. I dont have any warning. Pressing Ctrl+Space does bring out a list of available Classes/Datatypes, thats about it.

HTH
