Bounty for Symbian RTL

Cellphones are an ambivalent thing. I don't really like using them anyway, but if I use one, it has got to be near to a PDA - because I want to develop software for it to give it some use for myself. Now I'm a fan of Symbian phones, but while I can use the C++ compilers for Symbian, I'm not a fan of them. I really like Pascal, and Pascal is available for Windows CE, but I somehow don't really like Windows CE smartphones.

Now FreePascal already supports ARM processors - the Windows CE target makes use of that. Most of my existing projects are Pascal, and I hate to continue to update a C++ Symbian version, but I don't really have time to do the work to add Symbian support to FreePascal. A discussion on the Lazarus forums led me to the idea to post a bounty on the Lazarus Wiki.

I'll pay $1000 (USD) to the person who delivers (to me and the FreePascal/Lazarus team) a RTL and the necessary steps to compile Symbian applications using FreePascal (using a sample app similar to my NoFrameworkAppDemo for Windows CE); my preferred Symbian widgetset would be UIQ (both 2 and 3); Series 60, 80 and/or 90 would make nice additions to negiotate for more bounty.

If you're interested, take a look at the Lazarus bounty page, then contact me at bounty -AT- ccrdu.de .
