I am trying to set up a development environment to play around with developing Qt apps for Symbian devices. I have succesfully set up the environment and am able to create simple apps such as HelloWorld and get them to run on my device. I would now like to try using the QtMobility package, but I am struggling to get it to work in QtCreator.

I got some sample code for using the camera (initially I only had QtMobility 1.0.2, but I have now downloaded the 1.1.0 technology preview version). I followed the instructions in the help file to install it, here is what I did:

Extracted the zip file to C:\QtMobility
Opened a Qt Command prompt and ran configure (in the QtMobility directory)
Ran mingw32-make
Ran mingw32-make install
Finally I updated my PATH variable to include C:\QtMobility\lib

I went back to QtCreator (restarted it) and looked at the cpp file that first calls the macro QTM_USE_NAMESPACE but it is still underlined in red, because it can’t find the qmobilityglobal.h file.

Does anyone know if I have missed anything out during the installation that will tell the QtCreator where to find the QtMobility header files?

    mingw32-make suggests you’re building for win32-mingw target environment. To work with Symbian SDKs, you should be building for e.g. symbian-abld instead. The configure.bat script will auto-detect the target you are building for. Just make sure that QT_PATH environment variable points to a location where you have a Symbian build of the Qt toolchain.

    (Also note that make install is unnecessary with symbian-abld – the build step already puts everything in place in Symbian SDK directories.)
