Oh, cool. I remember trying to write native apps for my Nokia 5800 and the SDK being... not very good. Also I lacked experience and a sufficiently powerful computer. Also I don't think the thing was documented much, either that or I didn't know where to look for the docs. And the bizarre class naming scheme. And the bizarre dozen types of strings. And the most bizarre custom error handling mechanism (iirc it was called "leave") instead of C++ exceptions. I do wonder if this code is enough to build a working firmware image for a Nokia phone, but most probably some of the required parts are missing.

It is not, unfortunately. It's missing plenty of proprietary middleware etc that you need to run it on Nokia phones. IIRC you are supposedly able to build and run this source dump on some BeagleBoard. I was there, coding multimedia stuff for the last generation of Symbian smartphones. I remember this dump was originally released on Gitorious (later acquired by GitLab) some 10++ years ago. Fun fact: the source was originally supposed to be licensed under a different roll-your-own open source license (I think it was named "Symbian Foundation License" or something like that) but Nokia switched to Eclipse Public License 1.0 before the public release.
