Nokia N8 and the QtSDK
Hi,
I’ve installed the QtSDK for Nokia devices (symbian and maemo). I can compile and run everything in the simulator.
When I compile for gcce debug and try to run on a Nokia N8 I get a “General OS Error” when QtCreator is trying to install the sis file on device. If I take the sis and install it manually it works just fine!
I installed the TRK for Symbian^3 and both QtCreator and The device tells me that everything is OK (i.e. they are connected).
I thought at first that it was a problem that the SDK for Symbian used in the QtSDK is too old (5th ed.) so I tried to download and install the Symbian^3 SDK and make that work in QtCreator without success. Cannot make it compile my apps. Should it just work with the embedded SDK (in QtSDK) or is the Symbian^3 SDK mandatory?
Can anyone help me with this?

First of: Which version of TRK are you using? There is a special one for the N8 and the 5th edition TRK is known to not work. If changing TRK does not help, please try with a recent snapshot of Qt Creator.
I would recommend sticking with the 5th edition SDK for now as the Symbian 3 SDK beta still has some warts with regards to Qt at this time.

Where do you get one for N8?
The initial post refers to a “General OS Error”. Have you confirmed this isn’t a signing issue? I wrote a short blog post [kerncomputing.blogspot.com] about trouble shooting them.

well i got the same error just now and then I discovered that I was trying to install my app on to mass memory. I installed to c: on device and it works fine. I think this is not right … I should be able to install on mass memory too… else I’ll run out of space on c: :(
I’m using TRK for Symbian^3, but compiling using S60 SDK 5th edition. Still not able to properly compile using Symbian^3 SDK .. currently trying to get that working
