- \brief The platforms supported by Nokia for Qt.
- \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.

-

- 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}

-
- \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.
