[scummvm-devel] Building Symbian port with buildbot

[fedor_qd at mail.ru]

I answer your questions:
- Project wich makes running Symbian SDK on linux - https://github.com/mstorsjo/gnupoc-package. That project has ports makesis tool. It generates ondevice installer.
- no easy dowloaded SDK. But - Symbian opensourced - and necessary headers and libraries can found on GitHub. I can pack to zip.
- Symbian Series 60 v3/v5 and other countless nokia phones
- I can provide precompiled libraries
Details
1. Symbian use gcc & binutils. Gcc any latest, binutils prior 2.36. I
2. I'm unwell with configure hacking.
3. I can provide bundle header and libraries.
4. I rewrote from scratch converter from elf 2 Symbian binary. Note!!! - it was tested as x86, not x64. Source - https://github.com/fedor4ever/elf2e32_next
5. Python 2.7 needed for install.
6. Currently Symbian port comes in 9 exe's. Engines layout rules - https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/backends/platform/symbian/S60v3/engines.mmh
7. Without SDK you can't build bunch of files. They never changes between builds and can be cached.
How building with configure looks for me:
1. Gcc produce symbianelf
2. it was converted to EPOC binary
3. Packaging to instaĺler.

>Some questions that come to find first:
>- What is the project which makes SDK running on Linux? Is it still maintained?
>- Is SDK easily downloadable by a script?
>- Which Symbian version do you target?
>- What are the libraries compiled?
