just wondering. Working in the industry myself, although far away from handsets. What do you actually do mr clark? I believe u dont work for sendo. just wondering why..
stu? what do you do stu?
Interesting statement - "....but far away from handsets...". What do YOU do, fd? Myself, I don't have any connections aside from a personal interest in handset programming (I'm an audiologist).
I work for an IT outsourcing company...nothing to do with the mobile industry at all.
Just an interested user as far as phones go, but due to my IT background am pretty good at working out how / why things do and don't work.
I couldn't program Symbian for jack though...
I'm having a pop at writing C++ apps for it. Complicated doesn't even begin to describe it.....I might have a look at the OPL language and see if that's any friendlier to use. If I get anywhere with it, I'll let you know...
C++ works for me 😃
How do you go from c++ .app to .pkg? And will C++ code written for a PC work on a Symbian? Or does it need fine detail adjustments? I still new to c++.
A .pkg file is a text file used to created .sis files from .app files and other files the application needs. In other words, you don't ever "go" from .app to .pkg.
Whether C++ code for a PC works on Symbian depends on how the code was written, what calls it makes, any operating system dependencies, etc. Also, all C++ exception handling mechanisms will have to be changed to Symbian style mechanisms (until Symbian OS version 9 based devices appear).
Perhaps I didn't phrase it correctly - once an app file has been created with all its corresponding header files, how do I create a package file containing those files so that I can turn it then into a .sis?
There's an excellent tutorial here:

Hope that helps...
