75 HOW TO REPORT A BUG |
|
76 |
|
77 If you think you have found a bug in Qt, we would like to hear about |
|
78 it so that we can fix it. The Qt bug tracking system is open to the |
|
79 public at http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/. |
|
80 |
|
81 Before reporting a bug, please use the bug-tracker's search functions |
|
82 and consult http://qt.nokia.com/developer/faqs/ to see if the issue is |
|
83 already known. |
|
84 |
|
85 Always include the following information in your bug report: the name |
|
86 and version number of your compiler; the name and version number of |
|
87 your operating system; the version of Qt you are using, and what |
|
88 configure options it was compiled with. |
|
89 |
|
90 If the problem you are reporting is only visible at run-time, try to |
|
91 create a small test program that shows the problem when run. Often, |
|
92 such a program can be created with some minor changes to one of the many |
|
93 example programs in Qt's examples directory, or to the autotests that |
|
94 are available in the public source repository on http://qt.gitorious.org/. |
