\title Community Supported Platforms
\brief The platforms supported by Qt.
Qt is a commercial and open source licensed cross-platform application
and UI framework. It is developed by The Qt Company, a solely owned
entity of Digia Plc, together with the Qt Project Community under an
open source governance model.
Using Qt, you can write GUI applications once and deploy them
across desktop, mobile and embedded operating systems without
rewriting the source code.
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. Open GL (ES) 2.0,
DirectX 9 (with ANGLE), or an \l {Qt Quick 2D Renderer} {alternative
renderer} is required for \l [QtQuick] {Qt Quick} 2.
\l [QtWidgets] {Qt Widgets}{Widgets} can be used also without
hardware acceleration.
Not all platforms supported by the Community are supported by The
Qt Company, and vice versa.
\list
\li \l {Officially Supported Platforms} - Platforms supported
by The Qt Company.
\endlist
In Qt 5 all platforms are created using the
\l{Qt Platform Abstraction} (QPA), which makes it easier
than before to port Qt into a new operating system.
\section1 Desktop Platforms
You can develop with Qt for the following desktop platforms:
\list
\li \l{Qt for Windows}{Windows}
\li \l{Qt for Linux/X11}{Linux/X11}
\li \l{Qt for OS X}{OS X}
\endlist
\section1 Embedded Platforms
You can develop with Qt for the following embedded platforms:
\list
\li \l{Qt Enterprise Embedded}{Embedded Android}
\li \l{Qt for Embedded Linux}{Embedded Linux}
\li \l{Windows CE - Introduction to using Qt}{Windows Embedded (Compact and Standard)}
\li Real-Time Operating Systems, such as \l{QNX}, VxWorks and INTEGRITY
\endlist
\section1 Mobile Platforms
You can develop with Qt for the following mobile platforms supported
by The Qt Company:
\list
\li \l{Qt for Android}{Android}
\li \l{Qt for iOS}{iOS}
\li \l{Qt for WinRT}{WinRT} (including Windows Phone)
\endlist
The following platforms also support Qt:
\list
\li \l{Qt for BlackBerry 10}{BlackBerry 10}
\li \l{Sailfish OS}
\endlist
Work in progress ports of Qt exist for:
\list
\li \l{Tizen}
\endlist
For more information about the Qt modules for mobile platforms, visit
the \l{Mobile APIs} page.
\section1 Reference Configurations
A \e {reference configuration} is a combination of an operating system version,
a compiler version, and a graphics system. The following table lists the
configurations that are tested by the Qt Project:
\table
\header \li Platform
\li Compiler
\row \li Ubuntu Linux 11.10, X11 (32-bit and 64-bit)
\li As provided by Ubuntu
\row \li Ubuntu Linux 12.04, X11 (64-bit)
\li As provided by Ubuntu
\row \li RedHat 6.5, X11 (64-bit)
\li As provided by Red Hat
\row \li openSUSE 13.1, X11 (64-bit)
\li As provided by SUSE
\row \li Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)
\li MSVC 2010 SP1
\row \li Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)
\li \l{http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/4.9.1/threads-posix/dwarf/i686-4.9.1-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev2.7z/download}{MinGW-builds gcc 4.9.1 (32-bit)}
\row \li Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit)
\li MSVC 2012 SP2
\row \li Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit)
\li MSVC 2013 SP3
\row \li Microsoft Windows Phone 8.1 (64-bit)
\li MSVC 2013 SP3
\row \li Microsoft Windows Runtime 8.1 (64-bit)
\li MSVC 2013 SP3
\row \li Apple OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", Cocoa (64-bit)
\li Clang as provided by Apple
\row \li Apple OS X 10.9 "Mavericks", Cocoa (64-bit)
\li Clang as provided by Apple
\row \li Apple OS X 10.10 "Yosemite", Cocoa (64-bit)
\li Clang as provided by Apple
\row \li Apple iOS 8 (64-bit)
\li Clang as provided by Apple
\row \li Google Android 4.4
\li As provided by Google (Android NDK Revision 10c)
\endtable
These reference configurations are run on the continuous integration (CI)
system within Qt Project. In addition, they are subjected to 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. Significant errors discovered in tested
configurations can impact release dates.
Any configurations not listed above are not actively tested by the Qt
Project. However, Qt may run on configurations other than those actively
tested on, and additional configurations may be raised to tested state, if
sufficient effort is made to bring continuous integration to an acceptable
state for that particular configuration.
In addition to the reference platforms Qt is occasionally tested on other
configurations in which it is known to run well. These include, for example:
\table
\header \li Platform
\li Compiler
\row \li Ubuntu Linux 10.04, X11 (32-bit)
\li As provided by Ubuntu
\row \li Microsoft Windows XP (32-bit)
\li MSVC 2008 SP1
\row \li Microsoft Windows CE 7.0
\li MSVC 2008 SP1
\row \li Apple OS X 10.7 "Lion", Cocoa (64-bit)
\li Clang as provided by Apple
\endtable
The Qt Company, Qt partners, open source projects and community users
are able to provide assistance with various different supported
platforms and configurations.
\section1 Availability of Packages
You can download the Qt 5 installers and source packages from the \l Downloads page.
For more information, visit the \l{Getting Started with Qt} page.
\section1 Deployment of Qt Applications
The deployment procedure for each platform is different and they are
covered in greater detail in their platform pages. Meanwhile, there is a
deployment article for summarizing the deployment procedure in general.
\list
\li \l{Deploying Qt Applications}
\list
\li \l{Platform and Compiler Notes - Android#Deployment}{Android}
\li \l{Deployment on BlackBerry 10}{BlackBerry}
\li \l{Qt for iOS}{iOS}
\li \l{Qt for Linux/X11 - Deployment}{Linux/X11}
\li \l{Qt for OS X - Deployment}{OS X}
\li \l{Qt for Windows - Deployment}{Windows}
\endlist
\endlist
