Introduction
MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan Platform SDK is a software development kit for creating and porting Linux applications for the Harmattan platform and developing Harmattan platform components. Harmattan Platform SDK is based on a Scratchbox cross-compilation environment and uses the full Linux toolset. The Nokia Store distribution channel is open for developers using Harmattan Platform SDK, too.
By default, Harmattan Platform SDK includes the following:
- Scratchbox, the cross-compilation and development environment.
- Full set of Harmattan APIs supported by Harmattan devices.
Note: Harmattan Platform SDK is mainly aimed at developers who have Linux expertise or are familiar with the Scratchbox cross-compilation environment. The primary IDE for developing Harmattan applications is the Qt SDK. For more information on using the Qt SDK for developing Harmattan applications, see MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan Developer Library.
