[C] Cross Compiling For Symbian OS
Author
I'm looking to port my cross-platform game engine to Symbian OS for use on my phone. I mainly use GCC in Linux to build the projects, and I have five separate shared libraries. Is there any way that I can use a similar method to compile these modules for use with my Symbian device?

Yes, read this: http://www.symlab.org/wiki/index.php/Apps:Shared_Library_DLLs_on_Qt_for_Symbian.

So, I'm assuming this cannot be done with GCC, and seeing as this seems to be a Windows tutorial, I'd need toolkits for a different OS. Amongst the scattered invalid tokens in the wiki, it is hard to understand. I feel like this tutorial expects me to know something more than I do already. Can anyone provide help starting from what I do know?

QTCreator and the QT SDK is available for Linux aswell and contains everything you need to write applications that runs nativly on Win,Mac,Linux(Including Maemo and Meego phones) and Symbian.

I installed the QT SDK on my Linux machine. I'll figure out how to use it another time, because I'll worry about doing a full port when I make more progress. It is neither intuitive, nor simple to make a C library that does non-GUI functionality with it
Thank you for the responses. The Nokia guide did help me get things moving. Perhaps some day my code will reach my phone.
