With the release of Qt 4.6.2, Deploy applications on Symbian has become “smarter”

    As I wrote earlier , Qt 4.6.2 came out which officially brought Qt to Maemo. But Symbian did not go unnoticed. Announced a new tool - Nokia Smart Installer.
    The main feature of this useful tool is that it automatically checks the necessary dependencies (Qt, QtWebkit, Open C), and if they are not installed, it installs them from the standard repository. Now you do not need to drag Qt with you and the application will become much thinner.

    In fact, this is something like apt-get for Symbian. There are thoughts that this tool will not only be used for Qt dependencies, but will be just the implementation of the package manager for Symbian.

    Using the tool is quite simple:
    1. Download and install Qt for Symbian 4.6.2 from hereqt.nokia.com/downloads/symbian-cpp .
    2. Install this Nokia Smartl Installer magic tool from here get.qt.nokia.com/nokiasmartinstaller and unzip it in the same folder where Qt was installed.
    3. Build the project using realese-gcc.
    4. Run make sis to create the sis package.
    5. run make installer_sis to create the installer.
    6. everything is ready, the package is ready for distribution.

    When you try to run the application on a phone on which Qt is not

    installed, the following picture will appear: If Qt and other dependencies are already installed, then nothing will happen.
