\title Supported Platforms
\brief The platforms supported by Qt.
\group platform-details
Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework. Using Qt,
you can write GUI applications once and deploy them
across desktop, mobile and embedded operating systems without
rewriting the source code.In Qt 5 all platforms are created using
the new \l{Qt Platform Abstraction} (QPA), which makes it easier
than before to port Qt into a new operating system.
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 or
DirectX 9 (with ANGLE) is required for Qt Quick 2. Widgets and
Qt Quick 1 can be used also without hardware acceleration.
\section1 Desktop Platforms
You can develop with Qt on the following desktop platforms:
\list
\li \l{Support for Windows}{Windows}
\li \l{Support for Linux/X11}{Linux/X11}
\li \l{Support for Mac OS X}{Mac OS X}
\endlist
\section1 Embedded platforms
You can develop with Qt for the following embedded platforms:
\list
\li Embedded Linux (DirectFB, EGLFS, KMS, and Wayland)
\li Windows Embedded (Compact and Standard)
\li Real-Time Operating Systems, such as \l{QNX}, VxWorks and INTEGRITY
\endlist
\section1 Mobile platforms
Qt 5 will support all leading mobile operating systems. There already exists work in progress support for:
\list
\li \l{Android}
\li \l{iOS}
\li Windows 8 (WinRT)
\li BlackBerry 10
\endlist
\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 (64-bit)
\li As provided by Ubuntu
\row \li Ubuntu Linux 12.04, X11 (64-bit)
\li As provided by Ubuntu
\row \li Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)
\li MSVC 2010 SP1
\row \li Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)
\li \l{http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/host-windows/releases/4.7.2/32-bit/threads-posix/sjlj/x32-4.7.2-release-posix-sjlj-rev8.7z}{MinGW-builds gcc 4.7.2 (32-bit)}
\row \li Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)
\li MSVC 2012
\row \li Apple Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion", Cocoa (64-bit)
\li Clang as provided by Apple
\row \li Apple Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", Cocoa (64-bit)
\li Clang as provided by Apple
\endtable
All these reference configurations are run on the continuous integration (CI) system
of the 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. The Qt Project does not run its unit test suite or perform any
other internal tests on configurations not listed above. 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
\row \li Apple Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard", Cocoa (32-bit)
\li GCC as provided by Apple
\endtable
Digia, Qt partners, open source projects and community users
are able to provide assistance with various different supported
platforms and configurations.
\section1 Availability of Binary Installation Packages
The Qt Project provides binary Qt installation packages for all of the
reference platforms.
To develop with Qt on other supported platforms, you need to build it from
source.
Fore more information about the platforms Qt runs on, and the compilers used
on each platform, see the \l{Platform and Compiler Notes} page.
\section1 General Legal Disclaimer
Please note that Qt is offered on an "as is" basis without warranty
of any kind and that our products are not error or bug free. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, Digia on behalf of itself and its suppliers, disclaims all
warranties and conditions, either express or implied, including, but not limited to,
implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and
non-infringement with regard to the Licensed Software.
