+=============================================
-The SILC Toolkit works on Symbian OS. This document is intended for those
-that want to compile the SILC Toolkit by itself for Symbian OS, or for
-Symbian OS emulator. The building environment expects Carbide.c++ and
-WINCW compiler for emulator target and GCCE (variant of GCC) for device
-target. The SILC Toolkit has not been tested with other compilers or
-build systems. The build environment expects MS Windows.

Building with Carbide.c++
=========================
-After starting the Carbide.c++, you should import one of the SILC Toolkit
-projects under symbian/ directory in the SILC Toolkit package. Four
-projects exist:
-
- libsilc/ - SILC Core DLL
- libsilcclient/ - SILC Client DLL
- libsilc_static/ - SILC Core static library
- libsilcclient_static/ - SILC Client static library
-
-After loading the project, the first thing to do is to add a path variable
-to define where the SILC Toolkit sources are located. Go to Window ->
-Preferences. Then, go to General -> Workspace -> Linked Resources. Add
-a new SILCROOT path variable. It should point to the drive and directory
-where the extracted SILC Toolkit sources are located. For example, if you
-extracted the SILC Toolkit package into C:\temp\silc-toolkit-1.1.5 the
-SILCROOT should point to C:\temp. This needs to be done only once.
-
-After that, the building is ready to began. Choose the target you want
-(emulator or device, debug or release version) and start building.
+After starting the Carbide.c++ you will need to import the SRT project.
+Go to File -> Import -> Symbian OS -> Symbian OS Bld.inf file, and go
+to the extracted SRT source tree and find symbian\bld.inf file and import
+it. When Carbide.c++ asks for the Root Directory, select the root of the
+extracted SRT source tree, if not already selected.
+
+After importing the project it is immediately ready for building. By
+default, it will build the following libraries:
+
+ silc.dll - SILC Core DLL
+ silcclient.dll - SILC Client DLL
+ silc.lib - SILC Core static library
+ silcclient.lib - SILC Client static library
+
+Before building select the target for which you want to build. Possible
+targets are Emulator or Phone with Debug or Release.
+
+
+Using SILC Runtime in Your Project
+==================================
+
+When linking with SRT libraries your application will need to also link
+the following Symbian libraries:
+
+ estlib
+ euser
+ insock
+ esock
+
+You will also need to include the \epoc32\include\libc into your system
+include path in your project, if not already included.
