    \title Supported Platforms
    \brief The platforms supported by Qt.

    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.

    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 Supported Configurations

    The following table lists configurations supported by The Qt Company.
    A \e {configuration} is a combination of an operating system version,
    a compiler version, and a graphics system.


    \include supported-platforms.qdocinc latest
    In the above table, the configurations in \b bold are \e {reference
    configurations}.

    \section2 Reference Configurations

    The 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.

    The following page lists the configurations supported by The
    Qt Company for each released Qt version:

    \list
        \li \l {Supported Platforms and Configurations}
    \endlist

    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. To the maximum extent
    permitted by applicable law, The Qt Company on behalf of itself and its suppliers, disclaims all

    \title Supported Platforms and Configurations

    Qt is supported on a variety of 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and can be
    built on each platform with GCC, a vendor-supplied compiler, or a third
    party compiler as indicated in the table below.

    Configurations in \b bold are run on the continuous integration (CI) system;
    they are tested automatically for every change submitted on that
    platform/compiler combination against the test suite available as part of
    Qt.
