+    \brief Information about the C++ compilers and tools used to build Qt.
+
+    This page contains information about the C++ compilers and tools used
+    to build Qt on various platforms.
+
+    \tableofcontents
+
+    Please refer to the \l{Platform Notes} for information on the platforms
+    Qt is currently known to run on, and see the \l{Supported Platforms}
+    page for information about the status of each platform.
+
+    If you have anything to add to this list or any of the platform or

+
+    \section1 Supported Features
+
+    Not all compilers used to build Qt are able to compile all modules. The following table
+    shows the compiler support for five modules that are not uniformly available for all

+
+    \target GCC
+    \section1 GCC
+
+    \section2 GCC on Windows (MinGW)
+
+    We have tested Qt with this compiler on Windows XP.
+    The minimal version of MinGW supported is:
+
+    \list
+    \o GCC 3.4.2
+    \o MinGW runtime 3.7
+    \o win32api 3.2
+    \o binutils 2.15.91
+    \o mingw32-make 3.80.0-3
+    \endlist
+
+    \section2 GCC 4.0.0
+
+    The released package of the compiler has some bugs that lead to miscompilations.
+    We recommend using GCC 4.0.1 or later, or to use a recent CVS snapshot of the
+    GCC 4.0 branch. The version of GCC 4.0.0 that is shipped with Mac OS X 10.4
+    "Tiger" is known to work with Qt for Mac OS X.
+
+    \section2 HP-UX
+
+    The hpux-g++ platform is tested with GCC 3.4.4.
+
+    \section2 Solaris
+
+    Please use GCC 3.4.2 or later.
+
+    \section2 Mac OS X
+
+    Please use the latest GCC 3.3 from Apple or a later version of GCC 3.
+    The gcc 3.3 that is provided with Xcode 1.5 is known to generate bad code.
+    Use the November 2004 GCC 3.3 updater \l{http://connect.apple.com}{available from Apple}.
+
+    \section2 GCC 3.4.6 (Debian 3.4.6-5) on AMD64 (x86_64)
+
+    This compiler is known to miscompile some parts of Qt when doing a
+    release build. There are several workarounds:
+
+    \list 1
+    \o Use a debug build instead.
+    \o For each miscompilation encountered, recompile the file, removing the -O2 option.
+    \o Add -fno-gcse to the QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE.
+    \endlist
+
+    \section1 HP ANSI C++ (aCC)
+
+    The hpux-acc-32 and hpux-acc-64 platforms are tested with aCC A.03.57. The
+    hpuxi-acc-32 and hpuxi-acc-64 platforms are tested with aCC A.06.10.
+
+    \section1 Intel C++ Compiler
+
+    Qt supports the Intel C++ compiler on both Windows and Linux.
+    However, there are a few issues on Linux (see the following
+    section).
+
+    \section2 Intel C++ Compiler for Linux
+
+    Nokia currently tests the following compilers:
+
+    \list
+
+    \o Intel(R) C++ Compiler for applications running on IA-32,
+    Version 10.1 Build 20080602 Package ID: l_cc_p_10.1.017
+
+    \o Intel(R) C++ Compiler for applications running on Intel(R) 64,
+    Version 10.1 Build 20080602 Package ID: l_cc_p_10.1.017
+
+    \endlist
+
+    We do not currently test the IA-64 (Itanium) compiler.
+
+    \section2 Known Issues with Intel C++ Compiler for Linux
+
+    \list
+
+    \o Precompiled header support does not work in version 10.0.025
+       and older. For these compilers, you should configure Qt with
+       -no-pch. Precompiled header support works properly in version
+       10.0.026 and later.
+    \o Version 10.0.026 for Intel 64 is known to miscompile qmake when
+       building in release mode. For now, configure Qt with
+       -debug. Version 10.1.008 and later can compile qmake in release
+       mode.
+    \o Versions 10.1.008 to 10.1.015 for both IA-32 and Intel 64 are
+       known crash with "(0): internal error: 0_47021" when compiling
+       QtXmlPatterns, QtWebKit, and Designer in release mode. Version
+       10.1.017 compiles these modules correctly in release mode.
+    \endlist
+
+    \section2 Intel C++ Compiler (Windows, Altix)
+
+    Qt 4 has been tested successfully with:
+
+    \list
+    \o Windows - Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications,
+       Version 8.1 Build 20050309Z Package ID: W_CC_PC_8.1.026
+    \o Altix - Intel(R) C++ Itanium(R) Compiler for Itanium(R)-based
+       applications Version 8.1 Build 20050406 Package ID: l_cc_pc_8.1.030
+    \endlist
+
+    We currently only test the Intel compiler on 32-bit Windows versions.
+
+    \section1 MIPSpro (IRIX)
+
+    \bold{IRIX is an unsupported platform. See the \l{Supported Platforms} page
+    and Qt's Software's online \l{Platform Support Policy} page for details.}
+
+    Qt 4.4.x requires MIPSpro version 7.4.2m.
+
+    Note that MIPSpro version 7.4.4m is currently not supported, since it has
+    introduced a number of problems that have not yet been resolved.
+    We recommend using 7.4.2m for Qt development. However, please note the
+    unsupported status of this platform.
+
+    \target Sun Studio
+    \section1 Forte Developer / Sun Studio (Solaris)
+
+    \section2 Sun Studio
+
+    Qt is tested using Sun Studio 8 (Sun CC 5.5). Go to
+    \l{Sun Studio Patches} page on Sun's Web site to download
+    the latest patches for your Sun compiler.
+
+    \section2 Sun WorkShop 5.0
+
+    Sun WorkShop 5.0 is not supported with Qt 4.
+
+    \section1 Visual Studio (Windows)
+
+    We do most of our Windows development on Windows XP, using Microsoft
+    Visual Studio .NET 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 (both the 32- and 64-bit
+    versions).
+
+    Qt works with the Standard Edition, the Professional Edition and Team
+    System Edition of Visual Studio 2005.
+
+    We also test Qt 4 on Windows XP with Visual Studio .NET and Visual Studio 2003.
+
+    In order to use Qt with the Visual Studio 2005/2008 Express Edition you need
+    to download and install the platform SDK. Due to limitations in the
+    Express Edition it is not possible for us to install the Qt Visual
+    Studio Integration. You will need to use our command line tools to
+    build Qt applications with this edition.
+
+    The Visual C++ Linker doesn't understand filenames with spaces (as in
+    \c{C:\Program files\Qt\}) so you will have to move it to another place,
+    or explicitly set the path yourself; for example:
+
+    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_compiler-notes.qdoc 0
+
+    If you are experiencing strange problems with using special flags that
+    modify the alignment of structure and union members (such as \c{/Zp2})
+    then you will need to recompile Qt with the flags set for the
+    application as well.
+
+    If you're using Visual Studio .NET (2002) Standard Edition, you should be
+    using the Qt binary package provided, and not the source package.
+    As the Standard Edition does not optimize compiled code, your compiled
+    version of Qt would perform suboptimally with respect to speed.
+
+    With Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 a bug was introduced which
+    causes Qt not to compile, this has been fixed with a hotfix available
+    from Microsoft. See this
+    \l{http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/faqs/faq.2006-12-18.3281869860}{Knowledge Base entry}
+    for more information.
+
+    \section1 IBM xlC (AIX)
+
+    The makeC++SharedLib utility must be in your PATH and be up to date to
+    build shared libraries. From IBM's
+    \l{http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245674.html}{C and C++ Application Development on AIX}
+    Redbook:
+
+    \list
+    \o "The second step is to use the makeC++SharedLib command to create the
+       shared object. The command has many optional arguments, but in its
+       simplest form, can be used as follows:"
+       \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_compiler-notes.qdoc 1
+    \o "The full path name to the command is not required; however, to avoid
+       this, you will have to add the directory in which it is located to
+       your PATH environment variable. The command is located in the
+       /usr/vacpp/bin directory with the VisualAge C++ Professional for AIX,
+       Version 5 compiler."
+    \endlist
+
+    \section2 VisualAge C++ for AIX, Version 6.0
+
+    Make sure you have the
+    \l{http://www-1.ibm.com/support/search.wss?rs=32&tc=SSEP5D&dc=D400}{latest upgrades}
+    installed.

-    \ingroup platform-notes
-
-    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 Qt.
-
-    A more general overview of the 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.

-
-    \target GCC
-    \section1 GCC
-
-    \section2 GCC on Windows (MinGW)
-
-    We have tested Qt with this compiler on Windows XP.
-    The minimal version of MinGW supported is:
-
-    \list
-    \o GCC 3.4.2
-    \o MinGW runtime 3.7
-    \o win32api 3.2
-    \o binutils 2.15.91
-    \o mingw32-make 3.80.0-3
-    \endlist
-
-    \section2 GCC 4.0.0
-
-    The released package of the compiler has some bugs that lead to miscompilations.
-    We recommend using GCC 4.0.1 or later, or to use a recent CVS snapshot of the
-    GCC 4.0 branch. The version of GCC 4.0.0 that is shipped with Mac OS X 10.4
-    "Tiger" is known to work with Qt for Mac OS X.
-
-    \section2 HP-UX
-
-    The hpux-g++ platform is tested with GCC 3.4.4.
-
-    \section2 Solaris
-
-    Please use GCC 3.4.2 or later.
-
-    \section2 Mac OS X
-
-    Please use the latest GCC 3.3 from Apple or a later version of GCC 3.
-    The gcc 3.3 that is provided with Xcode 1.5 is known to generate bad code.
-    Use the November 2004 GCC 3.3 updater \l{http://connect.apple.com}{available from Apple}.
-
-    \section2 GCC 3.4.6 (Debian 3.4.6-5) on AMD64 (x86_64)
-
-    This compiler is known to miscompile some parts of Qt when doing a
-    release build. There are several workarounds:
-
-    \list 1
-    \o Use a debug build instead.
-    \o For each miscompilation encountered, recompile the file, removing the -O2 option.
-    \o Add -fno-gcse to the QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE.
-    \endlist
-
-    \section1 HP ANSI C++ (aCC)
-
-    The hpux-acc-32 and hpux-acc-64 platforms are tested with aCC A.03.57. The
-    hpuxi-acc-32 and hpuxi-acc-64 platforms are tested with aCC A.06.10.
-
-    \section1 Intel C++ Compiler
-
-    Qt supports the Intel C++ compiler on both Windows and Linux.
-    However, there are a few issues on Linux (see the following
-    section).
-
-    \section2 Intel C++ Compiler for Linux
-
-    Nokia currently tests the following compilers:
-
-    \list
-
-    \o Intel(R) C++ Compiler for applications running on IA-32,
-    Version 10.1 Build 20080602 Package ID: l_cc_p_10.1.017
-
-    \o Intel(R) C++ Compiler for applications running on Intel(R) 64,
-    Version 10.1 Build 20080602 Package ID: l_cc_p_10.1.017
-
-    \endlist
-
-    We do not currently test the IA-64 (Itanium) compiler.
-
-    \section2 Known Issues with Intel C++ Compiler for Linux
-
-    \list
-
-    \o Precompiled header support does not work in version 10.0.025
-       and older. For these compilers, you should configure Qt with
-       -no-pch. Precompiled header support works properly in version
-       10.0.026 and later.
-    \o Version 10.0.026 for Intel 64 is known to miscompile qmake when
-       building in release mode. For now, configure Qt with
-       -debug. Version 10.1.008 and later can compile qmake in release
-       mode.
-    \o Versions 10.1.008 to 10.1.015 for both IA-32 and Intel 64 are
-       known crash with "(0): internal error: 0_47021" when compiling
-       QtXmlPatterns, QtWebKit, and Designer in release mode. Version
-       10.1.017 compiles these modules correctly in release mode.
-    \endlist
-
-    \section2 Intel C++ Compiler (Windows, Altix)
-
-    Qt 4 has been tested successfully with:
-
-    \list
-    \o Windows - Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications,
-       Version 8.1 Build 20050309Z Package ID: W_CC_PC_8.1.026
-    \o Altix - Intel(R) C++ Itanium(R) Compiler for Itanium(R)-based
-       applications Version 8.1 Build 20050406 Package ID: l_cc_pc_8.1.030
-    \endlist
-
-    We currently only test the Intel compiler on 32-bit Windows versions.
-
-    \section1 MIPSpro (IRIX)
-
-    \bold{IRIX is an unsupported platform. See the \l{Supported Platforms} page
-    and Qt's Software's online \l{Platform Support Policy} page for details.}
-
-    Qt 4.4.x requires MIPSpro version 7.4.2m.
-
-    Note that MIPSpro version 7.4.4m is currently not supported, since it has
-    introduced a number of problems that have not yet been resolved.
-    We recommend using 7.4.2m for Qt development. However, please note the
-    unsupported status of this platform.
-
-    \target Sun Studio
-    \section1 Forte Developer / Sun Studio (Solaris)
-
-    \section2 Sun Studio
-
-    Qt is tested using Sun Studio 8 (Sun CC 5.5). Go to
-    \l{Sun Studio Patches} page on Sun's Web site to download
-    the latest patches for your Sun compiler.
-
-    \section2 Sun WorkShop 5.0
-
-    Sun WorkShop 5.0 is not supported with Qt 4.
-
-    \section1 Visual Studio (Windows)
-
-    We do most of our Windows development on Windows XP, using Microsoft
-    Visual Studio .NET 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 (both the 32- and 64-bit
-    versions).
-
-    Qt works with the Standard Edition, the Professional Edition and Team
-    System Edition of Visual Studio 2005.
-
-    We also test Qt 4 on Windows XP with Visual Studio .NET and Visual Studio 2003.
-
-    In order to use Qt with the Visual Studio 2005/2008 Express Edition you need
-    to download and install the platform SDK. Due to limitations in the
-    Express Edition it is not possible for us to install the Qt Visual
-    Studio Integration. You will need to use our command line tools to
-    build Qt applications with this edition.
-
-    The Visual C++ Linker doesn't understand filenames with spaces (as in
-    \c{C:\Program files\Qt\}) so you will have to move it to another place,
-    or explicitly set the path yourself; for example:
-
-    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_compiler-notes.qdoc 0
-
-    If you are experiencing strange problems with using special flags that
-    modify the alignment of structure and union members (such as \c{/Zp2})
-    then you will need to recompile Qt with the flags set for the
-    application as well.
-
-    If you're using Visual Studio .NET (2002) Standard Edition, you should be
-    using the Qt binary package provided, and not the source package.
-    As the Standard Edition does not optimize compiled code, your compiled
-    version of Qt would perform suboptimally with respect to speed.
-
-    With Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 a bug was introduced which
-    causes Qt not to compile, this has been fixed with a hotfix available
-    from Microsoft. See this
-    \l{http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/faqs/faq.2006-12-18.3281869860}{Knowledge Base entry}
-    for more information.
-
-    \section1 IBM xlC (AIX)
-
-    The makeC++SharedLib utility must be in your PATH and be up to date to
-    build shared libraries. From IBM's
-    \l{http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245674.html}{C and C++ Application Development on AIX}
-    Redbook:
-
-    \list
-    \o "The second step is to use the makeC++SharedLib command to create the
-       shared object. The command has many optional arguments, but in its
-       simplest form, can be used as follows:"
-       \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_compiler-notes.qdoc 1
-    \o "The full path name to the command is not required; however, to avoid
-       this, you will have to add the directory in which it is located to
-       your PATH environment variable. The command is located in the
-       /usr/vacpp/bin directory with the VisualAge C++ Professional for AIX,
-       Version 5 compiler."
-    \endlist
-
-    \section2 VisualAge C++ for AIX, Version 6.0

-    Make sure you have the
-    \l{http://www-1.ibm.com/support/search.wss?rs=32&tc=SSEP5D&dc=D400}{latest upgrades}

+    \title Supported Platforms
+    \brief The platforms supported by Nokia for Qt.
+    \ingroup platform-notes
+
+    Qt Software strives to provide support for the platforms most
+    frequently used by Qt users. 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 Qt.
+
+    \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.
