<H2>Welcome!</H2>
|
|
|

|
|
|
13 |
This is the Ensymble developer utilities for
|
|
|
14 |
<A HREF="http://www.symbian.com">Symbian OS™</A>, a collection of
|
|
|
15 |
<A HREF="http://www.python.org">Python®</A> modules and command line
|
|
|
16 |
programs for Symbian OS software development.
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
|
18 |
<P>
|
|
|
19 |
Current focus of Ensymble development is to provide useful tools for making
|
|
|
20 |
<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pys60">Python for S60</A> programs.
|
|
|
21 |
Supported functions include generation of SIS (installation) packages,
|
|
|
22 |
merging several SIS packages into one, (re-)signing existing SIS packages
|
|
|
23 |
and modifying extension DLL headers. Support for other Symbian OS software
|
|
|
24 |
development tasks will follow.
|
|
|
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
<P>
|
|
|
27 |
A long term goal of Ensymble is to provide a cross-platform, open-source
|
|
|
28 |
way to do Symbian OS software development, supporting Symbian OS
|
|
|
29 |
versions 9.1 and later. The original tools by Symbian are closed source
|
|
|
30 |
and only available for the Windows® operating system. Ensymble is
|
|
|
31 |
under the GNU <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GPL</A> license.

Ensymble targets Symbian OS v9.1 and later. For Nokia phones, this means
|
|
|
53 |
S60 3rd Edition. 1st and 2nd Edition phones are not directly
|
|
|
54 |
supported by Ensymble. A list of editions for Nokia phones is available from
|
|
|
55 |
<A HREF="http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/matrix_s60_1.html">Forum Nokia</A>.
|
|
|
56 |
(See <A HREF="http://www.nbl.fi/jussi.ylanen/py2sisng.html">py2sisng</A> for a
|
|
|
57 |
cross-platform version of py2sis, compatible with S60 1st and 2nd Edition.)
|
|
|
58 |
|
|
|
59 |
<P>
|
|
|

The py2sis command of Ensymble produces installation packages (SIS) for
|
|
|
61 |
<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pys60">Python for S60</A> version
|
|
|
62 |
1.4.0 and later. Version 1.4.0 of Python for S60 is the first officially
|
|
|
63 |
signed release from Nokia. Although packages generated with Ensymble also
|
|
|
64 |
work with PyS60 from v1.3.8 upto v1.3.23, a harmless warning is generated
|
|
|
65 |
during installation for a missing Python for S60 component.
|
|
|
66 |
|
|
|
67 |
<P>
|
|
|
68 |
<B>NOTE:</B> PyS60 versions 1.3.20 and older require that SIS files
|
|
|
69 |
generated by Ensymble are installed into main phone memory instead
|
|
|
70 |
of memory card. This
|
|
|
71 |
<A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1579521&group_id=154155&atid=790646">bug</A> has
|
|
|
72 |
been corrected in version 1.3.21 of PyS60.

Changes:

99 |
<UL>
|
|
|
100 |
<LI>Implemented --heapsize option for the py2sis and altere32 commands.
|
|
|
101 |
Sometimes the default heap maximum limit of one megabyte is not enough, for
|
|
|
102 |
example when handling large pictures from the built-in camera.</LI>
|
|
|
103 |
<LI>Implemented an --extrasdir option for the py2sis command. It allows
|
|
|
104 |
flexible placement of extra files, just like the simplesis command does.</LI>
|
|
|
105 |
<LI>Added support for PKCS#8 format private keys. Some people have
|
|
|
106 |
received these types of keys from Symbian.</LI>
