Compiling SILC Toolkit for Symbian OS ===================================== The SILC Toolkit works on Symbian OS. This document is intended for those that want to compile the SILC Toolkit by themselves for Symbian OS, or for Symbian OS emulator. The building environment expects Carbide.c++ and WINSCW 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. Requirements ============ - MS Windows - Carbide.c++ 1.2 or newer Installing Build Environment ============================ If you do not have a working Carbide.c++ and Symbian OS SDK environment installed in your MS Windows system it needs to be done first. 1) Download the freely available Carbide.c++ from Nokia at http://forum.nokia.com. The exact hyperlink location changes often, so it is not referenced here. It is usually under "Tools and SDKs" link. 2) After installation a web browser is opened automatically by the Carbide.c++ installer. Follow its instructions by installing the Perl, CTags and the SDK. Perl and the SDK are required, but CTags is optional and if necessary can be omitted. 3) The SILC Toolkit is generic C and C++ code and should work with any SDK. If you don't have SDK already installed, install the latest version you can find. The links to SDKs are found in the Carbide.c++ instructions after installation. If you already have SDK in your system, you should use that. 4) After installation the environment should be ready for SILC Toolkit building. Building with Carbide.c++ ========================= After starting the Carbide.c++ you will need to import the SILC Toolkit project. Go to File -> Import -> Symbian OS -> Symbian OS Bld.inf file, and go to the extracted SILC Toolkit 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 SILC Toolkit 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 Toolkit in Your Project ================================== When linking with SILC 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.
