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. |

96 \section1 Tier 2 Platforms |
|
97 |
|
98 Tier 2 platforms are subjected to our unit test suite and other internal testing |
|
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. |
|
143 However, \l{How to Order}{contact our sales team} to find out about the |
|
144 availability of other services for those platforms. |
|
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. |
|
149 |
|
