Nokia S60 SDK on Linux

Maybe it’ll serve someone, one day…

  1. Download Nokia S60 SDK, 3rd Edition, Maintenance Platform.
  2. Install Wine.
  3. Ensure you’re on Linux.
  4. Download latest ActiveState Perl MSI file. (notice, that you can ignore the step with contact details)
  5. Download Windows Script Host 5.6.
  6. Download mfc42.dll.
  7. Remove .wine – rm -rf ~/.wine
  8. Recreate .wine – wineprefixcreate
  9. Copy mfc42.dll to system32 folder – cp mfc42.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
  10. Install WSH – wine WindowsXP-Windows2000-Script56-KB917344-x86-enu.exe
  11. Install ActiveState Perl – msiexec /i ActivePerl-5.8.8.820-MSWin32-x86-274739.msi
  12. Add perl.exe to the %PATH%. I did it by manually editing ~/.wine/system.reg, key [System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment], PATH to: “PATH”=”c:\\windows\\system32;c:\\windows;c:\\Perl\\bin”
  13. Install the SDK – wine setup.exe, custom, I installed the additional thing it asked me about
  14. Launch the app – wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Symbian/9.1/S60_3rd_MR/Epoc32/release/winscw/udeb/epoc.exe
  15. Watch as it launches, loads the emulated phone, and crashes because of some timeout at random moment…
  16. Think that it’s soo near, and promise yourself to retry in a few months with next Wine releases
