Installing the C++Builder, Javaand Perl

To install C++BuilderX, you have to
unzip the C B X 1 . 5 _ m o b i l e - R T M . z i p , and then run the contained setup.exe. After installation, start it and feed the
license you should have received by
email when you registered for it. After Installation, you have to copy: C : \ B o r l a n d \ C b u i l d e r X 1 . 5 \ b i n \ s d k t o o l s \ b s c m a k e into c : \ s y m b i a n \ M S D E V \ B I N . This tool is the missing one from the toolchain we obtained by
downloading Microsoft tools from
Internet. Now you have to install Java and Perl.
It seems a bit strange to have
windows-only development
environment built on GCC, Perl and Java
(all of them tools typical of an Unix
environment) but unfortunately this is the case. The whole toolchain could
easily be ported to Linux or OSX (and it
has been done) except for the emulator,
that heavily relies on the Windows API.
I believe this is the main reason
because Symbian does not provide a port for different development
environments. Let's continue the installation. Run
j2sdk-1_3_1_16-windows-i586.exe to
install Java version 1.3.1 Run APi518e.exe to install Active Perl
5.1.8e A restart is now highly recommended.
