And the build system is actually run in a [http://www.virtualbox.org VirtualBox] VM whose guest OS is a Windows. This is because the compiler for emulator targets and many tools in Nokia S60 SDK are Windows only. | ||

So inside the guest Windows there is a network mapped "drive D" connected to a host Linux path, for example <tt>/home/user/windowsdrive/</tt>. The advantage of doing so is that the VM guest OS and host OS can access all free disk space at the same time, and both of them could read/write all files under a specific path, though a little dangerous. My working copy of the mozilla source tree is located in that public path so I can do cvs and daily maintenance under Linux, and build/debug Symbian OS targets inside the guest Windows. | ||
