February 24, 2017 · View on GitHub

Before setting up Qt Creator under Ubuntu for Symbian, make sure you have installed WINE and (the Windows version of) Qt Creator.

Go to the Qt homepage, click 'Downloads', click 'Go LPGL', and click on the download 'Qt libraries 4.7.1 for Symbian (265 MB)'. The download should now start. Some browsers warn you, because the file is a Windows executable, but this can safely be ignored in this case
Navigate to the folder where 'qt-symbian-opensource-4.7.1-s60.exe' was downloaded. Right-click this Windows executable, click 'Properties', open the 'Permissions' tab and check 'Allow executing file as program'. Close the 'Properties' window
Double-click 'qt-symbian-opensource-4.7.1-s60.exe' to start the executable.
In the setup, in the 'Choose Components' screen, check 'Symbian SDKs' additionally to the already checked 'Qt 4.7.1 sources'.
In the 'Choose Install' dialog, set the destination folder to 'C:\Qt\4.7.1-symbian'
In the 'Select Symbian SDK directories', just click 'Next'
In the 'Choose Start Menu Folder', just click 'Next' and installation starts
After the installation, start the Windows version of Qt Creator
Click 'Tools', 'Options' to open the 'Options' dialog
In the 'Options' dialog, click 'Qt4' and in the 'Qt Versions' tab, click on the plus. Click on 'Browse' to select the Symbian version of qmake in 'c:\qt\4.7.1-symbian\bin\qmake.exe'. Click 'Apply' to finish the setup
