\brief Documents related to Qt on the Symbian platform
Qt for Symbian is a C++ framework for GUI and application development
for embedded devices running Symbian. Qt for Symbian provides all
functionality required to develop rich end-user applications for devices
running S60 3.1 and later.

\title The Symbian platform - Introduction to Qt
\brief An introduction to Qt for the Symbian platform developers.

\tableofcontents
\section1 Required tools
See \l{Qt for the Symbian platform Requirements} to see what tools are
required to use Qt for the Symbian platform.
\section1 Installing Qt and running demos
Follow the instructions found in \l{Installing Qt on the Symbian platform from a Binary Package}
to learn how to install Qt using a binary package and how to build and run Qt demos.
Follow the instructions found in \l{Installing Qt on the Symbian platform} to learn how to install Qt using
using source package and how to build and run the Qt demos.
\section1 Building your own applications
If you are new to Qt development, have a look at \l{How to Learn Qt}.
In general, the difference between developing a
Qt application on the Symbian platform compared to any of the other platforms supported
by Qt is not that big.
Once you have created a \c .pro file for your project, generate the
Symbian specific \c Bld.inf and \c .mmp files this way:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_symbian-introduction.qdoc 0
For more information on how to use qmake have a look at the \l
{qmake Tutorial}.
Now you can build the Qt for the Symbian platform application with
standard build tools. By default, running \c make will produce binaries for
the emulator. However, the Symbian platform comes with several alternative
build targets, as shown in the table below:
\table
\row \o \c debug-winscw \o Build debug binaries for the emulator (default).
It is currently not possible to build release
binaries for the emulator.
\row \o \c debug-gcce \o Build debug binaries for hardware using GCCE.
\row \o \c release-gcce \o Build release binaries for hardware using GCCE.
\row \o \c debug-armv5 \o Build debug binaries for hardware using RVCT.
\row \o \c release-armv5 \o Build release binaries for hardware using RVCT.
\row \o \c run \o Run the application. Environment variable
\c QT_SIS_TARGET (see below) can be used to specify which
build target is run. By default it is the last build target.
Note that running the application on real device
using this command requires \c TRK application to be running
on the device.
\row \o \c sis \o Create signed \c .sis file for project.
\endtable
The following lines perform a debug build for the emulator
and deploy all the needed files:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_symbian-introduction.qdoc 1
To work on your project in Carbide, simply import the \c .pro file
by right clicking on the project explorer and executing "Import...".
\section1 Installing your own applications
To install your own applications on hardware, you need a signed \c .sis file.
(Refer to the \l{http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Platform_Security_%28Fundamentals_of_Symbian_C%2B%2B%29#Self-Signed_Applications}
{Platform Security Article} for more informations about self-signing.)
The signed \c .sis file can be created with \c make \c sis target. \c sis target
is only supported for executables or projects with \c DEPLOYMENT statements.
By default the \c sis target will create signed \c .sis file for last build
target. For example, the following sequence will generate the needed makefiles,
build the project for \c debug-winscw and \c release-armv5, and create
self-signed \c .sis file for \c release-armv5 target:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_symbian-introduction.qdoc 2
If you want to use different certificate information or override the default
target for \c .sis file creation you can use the environment variables as
shown in the table below:
\table
\row \o \c QT_SIS_OPTIONS \o Options accepted by \c .sis creation. See
\l{Supported options for QT_SIS_OPTIONS}{Supported options}
below. By default no otions are given.
\row \o \c QT_SIS_TARGET \o Target for which \c .sis file is created.
Accepted values are build targets listed in
previous table. By default last build target.
\row \o \c QT_SIS_CERTIFICATE \o The certificate file used for signing.
By default self-signed certificate.
\row \o \c QT_SIS_KEY \o The certificate's private key file.
By default key is associated to self-signed certificate.
\row \o \c QT_SIS_PASSPHRASE \o The certificate's private key file's passphrase.
By default empty.
\endtable
The suppported options for \c QT_SIS_OPTIONS:
\target Supported options for QT_SIS_OPTIONS
\table
\row \o -i \o Install the package right away using PC suite.
\row \o -p \o Only preprocess the template \c .pkg file.
\row \o -c=<file> \o Read certificate information from a file.
\endtable
Execute the \c{createpackage.pl} script without any
parameters for detailed information about options. By default no otions are given.
For example:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_symbian-introduction.qdoc 4
The environment variables for \c make can also be given as parameters:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_symbian-introduction.qdoc 3
If you want to install the program immediately, make sure that the device
is connected to the computer in "PC Suite" mode, and run \c sis target
with the \c QT_SIS_OPTIONS=-i, like this:
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_symbian-introduction.qdoc 5
