<p>This topic describes how to port some C applications to the Symbian

platform. </p>

<p>It uses <filepath>Hello</filepath>, <filepath>ConsoleApp</filepath> and <filepath>GUIApp</filepath> examples

. The first two are simple console-based examples. The third is a command-line

driven program which has been converted into a standard Symbian application.

It also describes typical problems which may be encountered when porting C

code to the Symbian platform, including the restriction on writeable data

in DLLs. These example codes can be found in directory <filepath>examples\stdlib\</filepath>. </p>

<p> <b>NOTE</b>: These examples may not be present on all Symbian platform

SDKs. </p>

<p>Some of the code for the second two examples was taken from the FreeBSD

source code. For information on FreeBSD, see <xref href="http://www.freebsd.org" scope="external">http://www.freebsd.org</xref>. </p>
