Note that these instructions are preliminary and work in progress...

These instructions assume that you have a Symbian development set up and that you have the source code checked out.

Requirements

• QtWebKit is best built with Sbsv2 (aka Raptor). This setup assumes the availability of it.
• Please install the Bison, Flex, ActiveState Perl etc. tools from GnuWin32. See the instructions for building on Windows where to get these.
• Make sure that the GnuWin32 tools are installed in a path without spaces, i.e. not Program Files\GnuWin32 but for example c:\GnuWin32.
• You need to have \GnuWin32\bin and \Perl64\bin (if that's where your Perl is installed) in your %PATH%.
• In addition you need to have a native Windows compiler in your PATH, i.e. MSVC or MingW.

Building Qt

If you haven't done so already, try these instructions:

• Clone Qt: git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qt.git qt-4.6
• Set up the 4.6 Branch:
  • cd qt-4.6
  • git checkout -b 4.6 origin/4.6
  • git branch -D master
• Configure: configure -xplatform symbian-sbsv2
• Build for arm with 8 cores: sbs -c armv6_urel -j8
• Get a cup of tea/coffee.
• Put the qt-4.6\bin directory in your %PATH%.

Building WebKit

• Build the generated files and set up the build system:
  • cd where-your-webkit-sources-are
  • perl WebKitTools\Scripts\build-webkit --qt --symbian
  • cd WebCore
  • Build for hardware: sbs -c armv6_urel -j8
  • Patch capabilities: perl %QTDIR%\bin\patch_capabilities.pl QtWebKit_template.pkg release-armv6
  • Create the sis file: make sis
  • Drag'n'drop the resulting .sis file onto Nokia PC Suite to install it on the phone
