Ensymble makes Symbian pyS60 SIS signing and development work on Macs and Linux

Small but significant thing that’s making my life easier. Stuart pointed me at Ensymble a Python script which uses x-platform libraries to do a number of key Symbian development related tasks.

Most importantly Ensymble can sign SIS files and create SIS files from pyS60 scripts. Since it does these with open Python libraries you can run it on Mac and Linux. This is a big step forward. I find it a bit upsetting Nokia needs a 3rd party developer to do this for them, but I’m not surprised.

    The fact that S60 is not the easiest dev environment and some limitation/dependency of tools lies in the ARM Compiler libraries (gcc-elftran tool chain) that sometimes don’t work properly even in windows, means they cannot build tools for other platforms until they fix their tools etc for windows.

    Plus they are a bit behind on their own schedule for the S60 4th edition, so you can imagine Linux as a dev env has a very low priority in the bigger look of things
