Developing for Symbian s60 in linux (ubuntu 8.10 32bit)

So here I am trying to install the development environment and sdk for s60 5th edition.

i found this link with resources : http://www.martin.st/symbian/

but i got a few errors so i had to install a few packages :
sudo apt-get install flex
sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev

so, compilation works, and i could build the .sis package.

To do : find a way to use carbide.

Found a book for Symbian (S60) :
Symbian C++ developer training courseware discusses memory and resource management, descriptors, application structure overview, resource and localization files, UI controls, client/server framework, and active object framework. The workbook also describes seven programming exercises.

SymTorrent

Application description:

SymTorrent is a free GPL-licensed BitTorrent client for Nokia Series 60 Symbian phones made by researchers of Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE). The client is rather basic and does not support many of the features advanced clients like uTorrent have but is still able to download BitTorrent files. Files can be downloaded over GPRS, UMTS or WiFi with compatible devices. Files can be downloaded to removable memory cards and the client has the ability to run in the background.


Application Use:
Using the browser you have to save .torrent file on your phone. Use SymTorrent to open .torrent file. And here are some action screen-shots. The download speed was ok. My internet connection speed is around 50-60kb/s, so the speeds on the phone are comparable with my laptop.
