| 44 | \title Supported Platforms
|
|---|
| 45 | \brief The platforms supported by Nokia for Qt.
|
|---|
| 46 | \ingroup platform-specific
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | The Qt team strives to provide support for the platforms most
|
|---|
| 49 | frequently used by Qt users. We have designed our internal testing procedure to
|
|---|
| 50 | divide platforms into three test categories (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) in order
|
|---|
| 51 | to prioritize internal testing and development resources so that the most
|
|---|
| 52 | frequently used platforms are subjected to our most rigorous testing processes.
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | Qt is supported on a variety of 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and can
|
|---|
| 55 | usually be built on each platform with GCC, a vendor-supplied compiler, or
|
|---|
| 56 | a third party compiler. Although Qt may be built on a range of platform-compiler
|
|---|
| 57 | combinations, only a subset of these are actively supported by Nokia.
|
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 | \tableofcontents
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 61 | Information about the specific platforms Qt runs on can be found on the
|
|---|
| 62 | \l{Platform Notes} page. Information about the compilers used on each platform
|
|---|
| 63 | can be found on the \l{Compiler Notes} page.
|
|---|
| 64 |
|
|---|
| 65 | \section1 Tier 1 Platforms
|
|---|
| 66 |
|
|---|
| 67 | All Tier 1 platforms are subjected to our unit test suite and other internal
|
|---|
| 68 | testing tools on a frequent basis (prior to new version releases, source tree
|
|---|
| 69 | branching, and at other significant period points in the development process).
|
|---|
| 70 | Errors or bugs discovered in these platforms are prioritized for correction
|
|---|
| 71 | by the development team. Significant errors discovered in Tier 1 platforms can
|
|---|
| 72 | impact release dates and Qt Development Frameworks strives to resolve all known
|
|---|
| 73 | high priority errors in Tier 1 platforms prior to new version releases.

|

| 99 | tools prior to release of new product versions. Qt users should note, however,
|
|---|
| 100 | that errors may be present in released product versions for Tier 2 platforms and,
|
|---|
| 101 | subject to resource availability, known errors in Tier 2 platforms may or may not
|
|---|
| 102 | be corrected prior to new version releases.

| 135 | \section1 Tier 3 Platforms (Not supported by Nokia)
|
|---|
| 136 |
|
|---|
| 137 | All platforms not specifically listed above are not supported by Nokia. Nokia does
|
|---|
| 138 | not run its unit test suite or perform any other internal tests on platforms not

|
|---|
| 140 |
|
|---|
| 141 | Even though some Tier 3 platforms are available under the Qt Commercial License,
|
|---|
| 142 | technical support is not included in that license.

|
|---|
| 145 |
|
|---|
| 146 | Qt users should note, however, that there may be various open source
|
|---|
| 147 | projects, community users and/or Qt partners who are able to provide assistance with
|
|---|
| 148 | platforms not supported by Nokia.
