Installing an SDK

To create projects an SDK must be installed. If more than one SDK is installed one must be specified as the default.

Installing an SDK

The following SDKs can be downloaded from Nokia at: http://www.forum.nokia.com/.

  1. Install at least one of the following SDKs using the install directions that accompany the SDK:
    • Nokia Symbian^3
    • Nokia Qt for SDK 1.0
    • S60 5th Edition v1.0
  2. Set the default SDK to use for projects
    1. In Carbide.c++
      1. Click Window > Preferences > Carbide.c++ > SDK Preferences to open the SDK Preferences panel
      2. Select the SDK and click SDK Properties to open the SDK Properties dialog
      3. Set the Default SDK value to Yes
      4. Close all the dialogs
    2. In a command-line prompt:
      1. Set the default device devkit by typing on the command line:

        > devices –setdefault @device id: name
      2. The device id and name can be found in the devices.xml file. For example, for a Techview 9.2 kit you might type

        > devices –setdefault @ SymbianOS_92_2006_wk40:com.symbian.techview

      3. Now ensure the default device is set by entering:

        > devices
    3. Make sure the correct SDK default is set.
