I want to write a C application that runs on Symbian mobile OS. I don't know where to start. Is there any library files available or any SDK or IDE available for it?

  • Go to http://www.google.com. Enter "Symbian SDK" in the search box. – tdammers Aug 06 '10 at 08:46
  • I "improved" spelling and grammar, but I'm not sure this question is narrow enough in focus to stand. I'll let it stew for a while before voting to close, to see if it gains some focus or has an answer more interesting than "let me google that for you". – RBerteig Aug 06 '10 at 09:00

Just like to elaborate on the previous post. Symbian supports POSIX libraries via Open C. Mobile apps almost always have a UI. Depending on your objective, you might check out Qt on Symbian too.

  • How does Qt help with writing an application in C? – Gareth Stockwell Aug 09 '10 at 09:08

    When we write a program, we want to solve a problem. The original question does explicit say in C. I am simply suggesting a UI is a natural next step. C and C++ work well together. Allow the original author to access/reuse the C APIs and leverage Qt's UI and application framework. – John Aug 09 '10 at 20:15

You should download the Nokia Qt SDK (http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/) . This allows you to write applications in C/C++ (without having to learn the Symbian flavor of C++).
