Build Package
The Build package is the official Tools package containing the (command-line) tools necessary to build applications for the Symbian platform and the Symbian platform itself. Note that Carbide has its own package.
The major tools in the Build package are:
- Helium - a build framework for coordinating server-based builds
- Symbian Build System v2 (SBSv2, a.k.a. Raptor) - the successor to SBSv1 (abld)
- iMaker and the ROM Tools - which are used for creating device images (a.k.a. firmware).
- Blocks - software releasing toolset (contribution pending).

 | Note The Symbian Foundation Architecture Council voted YES to the Tools Package Consolidation Proposal. The result is that the content in the Build Tools (sf/os/buildtools) and Host Environment (sftools/dev/hostenv) packages will migrate to this package - the Build (sftools/dev/build) package. For information on the migration, please visit the BuildToolsMigration page. |

Working with the Package
Components with a "group/bld.inf" are buildable using the following Raptor command: sbs -c tools2 -b <path/to/bld.inf>
Components with no bld.inf are usually Perl or Python scripts and therefore do not need building.
