wrapper package file is explained in Section 2.1, ‘Wrapper package
file’. Signing options for the wrapper package are explained in Section
2.2, ‘Wrapper package signing’, and adding the dependency information to
the application is explained in Section 2.3, ‘Application
dependencies’. The qmake build tool will automatically create the
necessary files to the source directory. The make tool can be invoked to
automatically create the Smart Installer wrapped package. Examples of
the command flows are explained in Section 2.4, ‘Building a self-signed
Smart Installer package’ and Section 2.5, ‘Building a Symbian Signed
Smart Installer package’. The UIDs to be used with Smart Installer are
explained in Section 2.6, ‘Reserved UIDs for Smart Installer’…
