Summary: The Nokia Media Transfer is an application for your Mac which enables you to transfer pictures, videos, podcasts, music, applications, games, and files between your Nokia mobile device and Mac. Nokia Beta Labs has announced that it is to cease development of its 'Nokia Software Updater' application for Mac computers. Unfortunately for Apple users, this means it will not graduate to a fully fledged Nokia product. However, the team involved have committed to keeping the beta version of the application available in its current form.

Nokia then created the Symbian Foundation to distribute the platform as an open source project, and began the process of opening up the source code that year. Meanwhile, the operating system has.

Last major update, 2005/04/03

NB: I have not yet switched to Tiger because I'm in the middle of a development cycle.If you get it to work on Tiger, please let me know about it.I'll update this document once I upgrade.

Nokia Symbian Apps

Preamble

So you want to program for the millions of symbian cell phones using C++, but you justcan't stand Windows. Or you don't want to shell out the $$$ for codewarrior. Or you feelmore comfortable programming in a standard UNIX environment. Or you prefer using normal makefiles to the utterly hideous makmake build system.Or you just want to stick it to 'the man' and try something different. Here I've tried to document the procedure I used to setup, install and program for Symbianon a Windows-free environment. Mac OS X is required.

Looking for Linux?

This used to be a Linux / OS X hybrid howto, but the whole point for me all along wasto be working on OS X.... now it's finally possible to do that, so I've rewritten itto be OS X focused.However, the simple fact that you can do this on OS X means that you can do it on Linuxas well, in fact more easily at this point.Many of the tips in this howto apply equally well to Linux.If you want to do Symbian dev on Linux, I recommendyou use Rudolph König's sdk2unixwhich has become fairly straightforward I think.(I use it, in modified form, below.)There's also a complete resource list at the end of this HOWTO.

Changes

2005/04/02

Complete revision of the HOWTO to be specifically for building right on OS X.Which is what I always intended anyway, but it wasn't possible until this year.

2004/12/26

There have been some developments since the last major update that aren't includedin this HOWTO yet.

Rudolf Koenig has moved his sdk2unix files to his home page. The lastest version is newer than the one used in this HOWTO:version 1.4.For Series 60, it still uses the old GCC (gcc.539.src.zip) and the Series 60 SDK 1.2.
The Symbian GCC Improvement Projecthas released a Symbian GCC compiler based on GCC 3.0.Reports indicate that the compiled code is substantially faster on the device,faster than what you get from Symbian Corp's own version that is.Speed and size improvements are in the range of 10%.It should be possible to substitute in something like gcc-3.0-psion-98r2 in forthe official version when you reach that step in Rudolf's instructions.

A few notes before we begin.

Nokia-oriented but not Nokia-specific

This HOWTO will guide you through installing the Nokia Series 60 SDK. It just happenscoincidentally that Series 60 is by far the most popular of all the Symbian flavours.However.... if you want to program for say UIQ or whatever you can still use most of theseinstructions, because the whole toolchain (including sdk2unix) is designed to work with anyof the SDKs.

There is no emulator

There's no emulator available. I suppose it's no shock that the nokia emulatorfor windows doesn't run on Mac OS X. In fact, it doesn't run onwine either.Is that really such a bad thing? It depends. The 'emulator' is actually NOT an emulator,it's a simulator. It doesn't actually emulate the ARM instruction set. Instead, theyhave effectively ported the entire Symbian / Series 60 API to windows. You build a windowsbinary file, which links against the ported libraries. So you can't actually take yourARM binaries and try them out in the emulator. There are some fairly major differencesbetween the simulator and the real Symbian /Series 60 devices. One would be speed, butthe most major is in memory management. There are however other more subtle differences.

It's fairly easy to set up logging to a file on the target device. So as long as youhave had some practice debugging code with the use of extensive printf-style statements,it's possible to get along quite well (in my opinion) without the simulator or the debugger.

What's the OS environment?

I picked Mac OS X because my main computer is a Powerbook. I have a wireless connectionwhich allows me to work wherever I wish. The OS X is 10.3.8.

Editing the code

I do most of my editingXCode, Apple's free IDE for Mac OS X. This is theIDE I am most familiar with. I'm sure that something like Eclipse would also be justfine, but this is what I use. I also do a fair bit of editing with command-line emacs.

Deploying builds

Here's another reason to use Mac OS X. OS X comes with very high-quality supportfor bluetooth that includes all of the various Series 60 phones. So, deploying is a simple matter of drag-and-drop onto the bluetooth icon. You transfer the app to thephone, it shows up as a message, the installer will launch automatically. Mostsymbian binaries are pretty small, so transfer times are minimal.

Another strategy is to copy the binary up to a web server that's publicly accessible.Then you can bookmark the location on your phone and download it 'over the air' (called OTA).Again, the installer will kick in and install automatically. This will drive up yourdata bill though.

Now that we have those items out of the way, now we get to the installation.

Prep your local system

You should install the full suite of Apple's free developer tools.

You should also installfink in order to get various command-linetools that you'll need along the way.If you get to some step below that requires a command-line tool (e.g. bunzip2, recode) that youdon't have, you need to install it from fink.(Some fink tools may only be available in the unstable tree, see thefink documentationfor details on how to access it.)

You may also need X11, e.g. Apple's free X11.Without X11 you might have problems with missing libraries when you build gccor something else.

Install gcc

Let's get started.

We're going to use the slightly old version of gcc that Symbian still amazinglyuses. It's called 'gcc539'. We're going to usea version that's been modified by Alfred E. Heggestad.

This will create a directory 'src' with the gcc code in it.Now get a patch by Andre Howe.(You're going to have to patch code quite a few times in this HOWTO.Hopefully the package maintainers will integrate these fixesinto their code sooner or later and this won't be necessary any more.)

You now have a patched src directory. Next you have to pick a destination directory. This is where gcc will be installed. I recommend/usr/local/symbian (you'll need root access).Create the destination dir and then build gcc.

Well, despite all the patches, you're still going to get an error from src/libiberty/strerror.c. So hand apply the following change (basically just comment out lines 465 and 466).

...and make again. It's going to take a little while.Finally, install it (requires sudo for root access).But first, fix a stupid permissions problem that also needs to be fixed...

Now symbian gcc is installed.

Install makesis, rcomp, bmconv, petran

These are all essential tools to build symbian apps. The story is, thatSymbian kindly open sourced a number of tools in order to make it easier for peoplelike us to play. T
