How Can I Get Executables in Symbian?

[maoparis]

Hello. I am new in the forum.

I bought BasicPPC (Version 3.0) in 2006 and recently I bought version 6.80.01. I think is the perfect tool for mobile programming.

I am trying to develop a program to use with smartphones.

With PDAs I dont have any problem. All files (*.EXE and *.CAB) works perfect.

When I try to install a very simple program (tipical "Hello World") in my phone Nokia E71 (works with SYMBIAN) the phone asks me for files *.SIS or *.SISX or *.JAR or *.N-GAGE or *. WGZ instead of *.EXE.

Is it possible create those types of files ?

Is It possible install my simple program (*.EXE) in phones with Symbian?

Thanks and excuse my english.

This question is similar to a recent enquiry: no chance of compiling for Android ?.

I think that the answer is similar. It is not really a matter of delivering your .EXE onto the Symbian device because even if you did the right environment would not be there.

On the other hand the Symbian SDK used to be available free. I used it years ago (e.g. Psion programming projects).

HTH, Mike.
