Symbian SDKs

Use the Symbian SDKs page in the Preferences window to view which installed SDKs are available to projects during an import. If the SDK is properly configured for SBSv2 you may never need to view this preference panel.

One thing to note is that Carbde.c++ no longer requires the devices.xml file to recognize and use SDKs. Insteads it now caches this information for later use. If the SDK contains an entry for the devices.xml Carbide will use it.

To access Symbian SDKs preferences preference panel, select Window > Preferences > Carbide.c++ > Symbian SDKs.

NOTE There must be at least one recognized SDK installed before you can create a project. If the SDK you have installed is not recognized, you may still be able to add it to the Discovered Symbian OS SDK list. See Carbide.c++ Requirements for a list of supported SDKs.
