[Qt-interest] Qt 4.7 rc symbian with Qt Creator 2.0.1

[Alessandro Portale]

Hi,

The Qt libraries have to be installed into an S60 SDK. There can only be 
one Qt version in an S60 SDK, since there is one global directory for 
binaries in the S60 SDK. But you can have multiple S60 SDKs installed on 
your system.

The Nokia Qt SDK installer installed an S60 SDK with Qt in it into
    c:\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\SDK

In order to test qt-symbian-opensource-4.7.0-rc1-s60.exe, you need to 
install it into it's distinct S60 SDK. But how to get an S60 SDK?

Variant 1) You could install an S60 SDK from scratch by following the 
first two videos here: 
http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009/12/03/tutorial-videos-qt-development-for-symbian/
(It is a pain! So I would suggest trying variant 2 first)

Variant 2) You could duplicate the folder c:\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\SDK to 
something like c:\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\SDK-qt-4.7. When running the 
installer qt-symbian-opensource-4.7.0-rc1-s60.exe, select "Choose 
additional folder(s)" as component. Choose something like 
"c:\Qt\4.7.0-rc1-symbian" as destination folder for Qt, and a step later 
enter your duplicated "c:\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\SDK-qt-4.7" as "SDK root".
In Creator/Tools/Options.../Qt4/QtVersions/, add a Qt version with 
"qmake location" c:\qt\4.7.0-rc1-nqtsdk\bin\qmake.exe
"S60 SDK" c:\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\SDK-qt-4.7.0
"CSL/GCCE" C:\NokiaQtSDK\Symbian\gcce
Name the Qt version "Qt 4.7.0-rc1 for Symbian Devices (Nokia Qt SDK)"
Disclaimer: This worked for me, but is not officially supported. So do 
not tell anyone that I gave you these instructions ;)

I hope that helped,
Alessandro
