|
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. |

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: |
