Qt is a commercial and open source licensed cross-platform application and UI framework. It is developed by The Qt Company, a solely owned entity of Digia Plc, together with the Qt Project Community under an open source governance model. Using Qt, you can write GUI applications once and deploy them across desktop, mobile and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code. 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, DirectX 9 (with ANGLE), or an \l {Qt Quick 2D Renderer} {alternative renderer} is required for \l [QtQuick] {Qt Quick} 2. \l [QtWidgets] {Qt Widgets}{Widgets} can be used without hardware acceleration. Not all platforms supported by the Community are supported by The Qt Company, and vice versa. \list \li \l {Officially Supported Platforms} - Platforms supported by The Qt Company. \endlist In Qt 5 all platforms are created using the \l{Qt Platform Abstraction} (QPA), which makes it easier than before to port Qt into a new operating system. \section1 Desktop Platforms You can develop with Qt for the following desktop platforms: \list \li \l{Qt for Windows}{Windows} \li \l{Qt for Linux/X11}{Linux/X11} \li \l{Qt for OS X}{OS X} \endlist \section1 Embedded Platforms You can develop with Qt for the following embedded platforms: \list \li \l{Qt for Embedded Linux}{Embedded Linux} \li \l{Windows CE - Introduction to using Qt}{Windows Embedded (Compact and Standard)} \li Real-Time Operating Systems, such as \l{QNX}, VxWorks and INTEGRITY \endlist \section1 Mobile Platforms You can develop with Qt for the following mobile platforms supported by The Qt Company: \list \li \l{Qt for Android}{Android} \li \l{Qt for iOS}{iOS} \li \l{Qt for WinRT}{WinRT} (including Windows Phone) \endlist The following platforms also support Qt: \list \li \l{Sailfish OS} \endlist Work in progress ports of Qt exist for: \list \li \l{Tizen} \endlist For more information about the Qt modules for mobile platforms, visit the \l{Mobile APIs} page. \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 14.04, X11 (64-bit) \li As provided by Ubuntu \row \li RedHat 6.6, X11 (64-bit) \li As provided by Red Hat \row \li openSUSE 13.1, X11 (64-bit) \li As provided by SUSE \row \li Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit) \li MSVC 2010 SP1 \row \li Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit) \li \l{http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/4.9.1/threads-posix/dwarf/i686-4.9.1-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev2.7z/download}{MinGW-builds gcc 4.9.1 (32-bit)} \row \li Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit) \li MSVC 2012 SP2 \row \li Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit) \li MSVC 2013 SP3 \row \li Microsoft Windows Phone 8.1 (64-bit) \li MSVC 2013 SP3 \row \li Microsoft Windows Runtime 8.1 (64-bit) \li MSVC 2013 SP3 \row \li Apple OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", Cocoa (64-bit) \li Clang as provided by Apple \row \li Apple OS X 10.9 "Mavericks", Cocoa (64-bit) \li Clang as provided by Apple \row \li Apple OS X 10.10 "Yosemite", Cocoa (64-bit) \li Clang as provided by Apple \row \li Apple iOS 8 (64-bit) \li Clang as provided by Apple \row \li Google Android 4.4 \li As provided by Google (Android NDK Revision 10c) \endtable These reference configurations are run on the continuous integration (CI) system within 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. 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 11.10, X11 (32-bit and 64-bit) \li As provided by Ubuntu \row \li Microsoft Windows CE 7.0 \li MSVC 2008 SP1 \row \li Apple OS X 10.7 "Lion", Cocoa (64-bit) \li Clang as provided by Apple \endtable The Qt Company, Qt partners, open source projects and community users are able to provide assistance with various different supported platforms and configurations. \section1 Availability of Packages You can download the Qt 5 installers and source packages from the \l Downloads page. For more information, visit the \l{Getting Started with Qt} page. \section1 Deployment of Qt Applications The deployment procedure for each platform is different and they are covered in greater detail in their platform pages. Meanwhile, there is a deployment article for summarizing the deployment procedure in general. \list \li \l{Deploying Qt Applications} \list \li \l{Platform and Compiler Notes - Android#Deployment}{Android} \li \l{Qt for iOS}{iOS} \li \l{Qt for Linux/X11 - Deployment}{Linux/X11} \li \l{Qt for OS X - Deployment}{OS X} \li \l{Qt for Windows - Deployment}{Windows} \endlist \endlist \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.
