     2 
       
     3 Qt is a comprehensive cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt 4
       
     4 introduces new features and many improvements over the 3.x series. See
       
     5 http://qt.nokia.com/doc/latest/qt4-intro.html for details.
       
     6 
       
     7 The Qt 4.x series is not binary compatible or source compatible with
       
     8 the 3.x series. For more information on porting from Qt 3 to Qt 4, see
       
     9 http://qt.nokia.com/doc/latest/porting4.html.

    12 INSTALLING Qt
       
    13 
       
    14 On Windows and Mac OS X, if you want to install the precompiled binary
       
    15 packages, simply launch the package and follow the instructions in the
       
    16 installation wizard.
       
    17 
       
    18 On Mac OS X, the binary package requires Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) or
       
    19 later and GCC 4.0.1 to develop applications. Its applications will run
       
    20 on Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above.
       
    21 
       
    22 If you have a source package (a .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, or .zip file),
       
    23 follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.

    26 DEMOS AND EXAMPLES
       
    27 
       
    28 Once Qt is installed, we suggest that you take a look at the demos and
       
    29 examples to see Qt in action. Run the Qt Examples and Demos either by
       
    30 typing 'qtdemo' on the command line or through the desktop's Start
       
    31 menu. On Mac OS X, you can find it in /Developers/Applications/Qt.

    34 REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION
       
    35 
       
    36 The Qt reference documentation is available locally in Qt's doc/html
       
    37 directory. You can use Qt Assistant to view it; to launch Assistant,
       
    38 type 'assistant' on the command line or use the Start menu. On Mac OS
       
    39 X, you can find it in /Developer/Applications/Qt.  The latest

    62 HOW TO REPORT A BUG
       
    63 
       
    64 If you think you have found a bug in Qt, we would like to hear about
       
    65 it so that we can fix it. Before reporting a bug, please check
       
    66 http://qt.nokia.com/developer/faqs/ and
       
    67 http://qt.nokia.com/products/appdev/platform/platforms/ to see if
       
    68 the issue is already known.
       
    69 
       
    70 Always include the following information in your bug report: the name
       
    71 and version number of your compiler; the name and version number of
       
    72 your operating system; the version of Qt you are using, and what
       
    73 configure options it was compiled with.
       
    74 
       
    75 If the problem you are reporting is only visible at run-time, try to
       
    76 create a small test program that shows the problem when run. Often,
       
    77 such a program can be created with some minor changes to one of the
       
    78 many example programs in Qt's examples directory. Please submit the
       
    79 bug report using the Task Tracker on the Qt website:
