Symbian / Series 60 development
-
Hello ! Has anyone here yet ventured into the world of Symbian or Series 60 development ? What tools do you use ? As far as I know, the Series 60 SDK and it's tools are a piece of crap: a bunch of script-driven gcc-tools. I've heard about the Borland Mobile Studio but it doesn't seem to be available for purchase yet.. Is it even released yet ? Any other options you would recommend ? I do have the Visual Studio solution already with the script-driven tools, but like I said, they are an abomination to application development: even a crude Unix hack looks smoother than this package.. :) -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

Well, integration is not their forte... The tools are a bit crude, as you say. But if you look under the covers you will find some gems thet will make your life less miserable. Anyway, it's a sizeable learning curve... Good luck! Regards, João Paulo
