 Here we are porting NSPR to Symbian OS with "Open C", utilizing <tt>libc</tt> and <tt>libpthread</tt>. Determine where the boundaries are and marking them is our major work, also plus a load of build and test tricks.

 [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432430 Bug 432430] is the patch and discussion on NSPR for Symbian OS port.
-'''''IMPORTANT NOTE: Three files in this patch (_symbian.cfg _symbian.h symbian.c) had been cleaned up and checked into the CVS trunk already.

 * According to [http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/S60_3rd_Edition:_Application_Development#Install_Perl S60 3rd Edition: Application Development] and practice, it is required to use ActivePerl as close as '''v5.6.1.635'''. Later or earlier version of ActivePerl has '''hidden incompatibilities''' with Symbian OS building purpose.
-* On UNIX OS, the generated on-the-fly header file <tt>_pl_bld.h</tt> and <tt>_pr_bld.h</tt> are made by <tt>Makefile</tt> and the <tt>now</tt> helper application which is also built as part of NSPR building process. Unfortunately there isn't a plan or solution to port this <tt>now</tt> helper application as part of NSPR for Symbian OS building process. Instead the MS Windows command <tt>echo</tt> and environment variable <tt>%DATE% & %TIME%</tt> are used to generate <tt>_pl_bld.h</tt> and <tt>_pr_bld.h</tt>. But this workaround has a problem, that is the <tt>%DATE% & %TIME%</tt> environment variables are printed as locale adapted string according to regional settings.
 * As of May 27th, Open C plugin v1.3 got released. Open C plugin v1.3 now supports IPv6, but in the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=324584 patch 324584] IPv6 support is not added into NSPR.
