This archive provides fixes to MinGW and support for - missing API, See the _patches directory in the archive for - details. - - \note A MinGW installation is only needed to build against the - binary pacakge, not to run the pre-compiled binaries that are in - the package. - - \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.

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.

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 9.1.040. - \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 12 (Sun CC 5.9). Go to - \l{Sun Studio Patches} page on Sun's Web site to download - the latest patches for your Sun compiler. - - Please note that Qt 4.6 is stricter in its STL requirements and - that the default STL implementation used by Sun CC does not pass - those requirements. This does not affect binary compatibility and - you can continue to use STL in your own code, but Qt's - STL-compatibility functions will be disabled. - - Sun CC ships with a secondary STL implementation (called stlport4) - which is standards-compliant and can be used by Qt. You can enable - it by passing the -library=stlport4 option to the compiler. Note - that this does not affect Qt's binary compatibility, but it may - affect that of other libraries and programs that use STL. - - \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. - - 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://qt.nokia.com/developer/faqs/faq.2006-12-18.3281869860}{Knowledge Base entry} - for more information. - - There currently is a problem when compiling Qt with Visual Studio 2010 for 64-bit. - Its optimizer causes trouble and generates code that crashes for the release builds. - To avoid the crashes, You need to apply the hotfix in the following article - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2280741. - - \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. - - \section2 GCCE (Symbian) - - GCCE cannot be used to compile Qt libaries for the Symbian platform, but GCCE is supported - when compiling Qt applications for Symbian platform. */ |
