Building with Remote Compiler
The Remote Compiler target is an interface to a compilation service at Nokia Developer. It provides a simple, standardized environment for building Qt applications and creating installation packages for Symbian, Maemo, and MeeGo Harmattan devices when you do not have the necessary tool chains and SDKs installed or they are not supported on the development PC. You can choose from a set of supported devices, such as S60 3rd Edition or S60 5th Edition devices.
