      I would be sorry (my N70 is 2nd edition FP3). But I guess it is 
better to start from the latest edition. Hopefully backwards (perhaps 
limited) compatibility could be added later.

      I have managed to compile their "Hello World" sample. So a bit 
more on the build process :
   * Forget about spaces in the project path...
   * bldmake.bat takes project.mmp and bld.inf as input. It generates 
abld.bat, that is then used to build the sources. But it also generates 
those 21 (!) files in a path that is relative to the SDK (!! 
<C:\Nokia\8.1a\S60_2nd_FP3\Epoc32\BUILD\HELLOWORLD> in my case). 20 of 
them are makefiles (!!!) that are internally used by the generated 
abld.bat...

      My experience is that such piece of "software" is often very 
conservative about the way it wants things to be done. I wish you luck.

      I found it amazingly straightforward (for such a mess, I mean ;-) :
   * Download a zip file 
(<http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/4a7149a5-95a5-4726-913a-3c6f21eb65a5/S60-SDK-0616-3.0-mr.html>, 
registration required), which contains a setup that does most of the 
work. You will just have to forget about wanting spaces in your install 
path though, because most of the tools do not support them :-(
   * Do not miss the release notes (located in 
<C:\Nokia\8.1a\S60_2nd_FP3\Epoc32\Data> in my case) where you should 
find that ActivePerl is a requirement.
   * There is no step 3...
