I would replay this on a somehow diferent basis. If one can't update
its system may be because they have no money or because the machine is
a little old ... or perhaps due to any other thing I have no knowledge
or I have no way of controlling anyways ... unless the "one" sited is
me, which isn't the case. I would say the following:
I recall reading somewhere that symbian apps can be compiled using
gcc, which would run without problems under windows ME. Please see if
you can get this reference. However, compiling isn't the only part of
programming utilities, you're likely to have to use an emulator to try
running the app or perhaps to be able to debug it. May be that these
emulators need some more advansed resources to run than win me can
provide. I recomend you join a symbian developement phorum where you
can expose your situation and listen to what experts have to say to
you about this. If, however, the symbian site says that a requirement
is windows 2k or latter I fear you won't have other options but
installing one of the systems required.
