<h2>System Requirements</h2>
<p>You use the Carbide.c++ IDE in conjunction with a recognized SDK to develop Symbian OS software.</p>
<p> In practice, whether you use an SDK, a developer kit (DevKit), or both depends on the edition of
Carbide.c++ you have (see Table 1). Further, if you use an OS devkit,
it must use SBSv2.</p>
