We have designed our internal testing procedure to divide platforms into three test categories (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) in order to prioritize internal testing and development resources so that the most frequently used platforms are subjected to our most rigorous testing processes. Qt is supported on a variety of 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and can usually be built on each platform with GCC, a vendor-supplied compiler, or a third party compiler. Although Qt may be built on a range of platform-compiler combinations, only a subset of these are actively supported by Nokia. \tableofcontents Information about the specific platforms Qt runs on can be found on the \l{Platform Notes} page. Information about the compilers used on each platform can be found on the \l{Compiler Notes} page. \section1 Tier 1 Platforms All Tier 1 platforms are subjected to our unit test suite and other internal testing tools on a frequent basis (prior to new version releases, source tree branching, and at other significant period points in the development process). Errors or bugs discovered in these platforms are prioritized for correction by the development team. Significant errors discovered in Tier 1 platforms can impact release dates and Qt Development Frameworks strives to resolve all known high priority errors in Tier 1 platforms prior to new version releases. \table \header \o Platform \o Compilers \row \o Linux (32 and 64-bit) \o gcc 4.2 \row \o Microsoft Windows XP \o gcc 3.4.2 (MinGW) (32-bit), MSVC 2003, 2005 (32 and 64-bit) \row \o Microsoft Windows Vista \o MSVC 2005, 2008 \row \o Microsoft Windows Vista 64bit \o MSVC 2008 \row \o Apple Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" x86_64 (Carbon, Cocoa 32 and 64bit) \o As provided by Apple \row \o Embedded Linux QWS (ARM) \o gcc (\l{http:\\www.codesourcery.com}{Codesourcery version)} \row \o Windows CE 5.0 (ARMv4i, x86, MIPS) \o MSVC 2005 WinCE 5.0 Standard (x86, pocket, smart, mipsii) \endtable \section1 Tier 2 Platforms Tier 2 platforms are subjected to our unit test suite and other internal testing tools prior to release of new product versions. Qt users should note, however, that errors may be present in released product versions for Tier 2 platforms and, subject to resource availability, known errors in Tier 2 platforms may or may not be corrected prior to new version releases. \table \header \o Platform \o Compilers \row \o Apple Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" \o As provided by Apple \row \o HPUXi 11.11 \o aCC 3.57, gcc 3.4 \row \o HPUXi 11.23 \o aCC 6.10 \row \o Solaris 10 UltraSparc \o Sun Studio 12 \row \o AIX 6 \o Power5 xlC 7 \row \o Microsoft Windows XP \o Intel Compiler \row \o Linux \o Intel Compiler \row \o Embedded Linux QWS (Mips, PowerPC) \o gcc (\l{http:\\www.codesourcery.com}{Codesourcery version)} \row \o Windows CE 6.0 (ARMv4i, x86, MIPS) \o MSVC 2008 WinCE 6.0 Professional \endtable \section1 Tier 3 Platforms (Not supported by Nokia) All platforms not specifically listed above are not supported by Nokia. Nokia does not run its unit test suite or perform any other internal tests on platforms not listed above. Qt users should note, however, that there may be various open source projects, community users and/or Qt partners who are able to provide assistance with platforms not supported by Nokia. \section1 General Legal Disclaimer Please note that Qt Software’s products are offered on an "as is" basis without warranty of any kind and that our products are not error or bug free.
