This is Qt version 4.7.4. | |
Qt is a comprehensive cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt 4 | |
introduces new features and many improvements over the 3.x series. See | |
http://qt.nokia.com/doc/latest/qt4-intro.html for details. | |
The Qt 4.x series is not binary compatible or source compatible with | |
the 3.x series. For more information on porting from Qt 3 to Qt 4, see | |
http://qt.nokia.com/doc/latest/porting4.html. | |
INSTALLING Qt | |
If you have a source package (a .tar.gz, or .zip file), follow the | |
instructions in the INSTALL file. | |
On Windows and Mac OS X, if you want to install the precompiled binary | |
packages, simply launch the package and follow the instructions in the | |
installation wizard. | |
For Mac OS X Carbon, the binary package requires Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or | |
later and GCC 4.0.1 to develop applications. Its applications will run | |
on Mac OS X 10.4 and above. | |
For Mac OS X Cocoa, the binary package requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or | |
later and GCC 4.0.1 to develop applications. Its applications will run | |
on Mac OS X 10.5 and above. | |
If you want to install the precompiled binary package for Symbian, | |
follow these instructions: | |

DEMOS AND EXAMPLES | |
Once Qt is installed, we suggest that you take a look at the demos and | |
examples to see Qt in action. | |
For desktop computers, run the Qt Examples and Demos either by | |
typing 'qtdemo' on the command line or through the desktop's Start | |
menu. On Mac OS X, you can find it in /Developers/Applications/Qt. | |
For embedded devices, launch the Qt 'fluidlauncher' demo, either through | |
the platforms filebrowser or the built in menu system. | |
REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION | |
The Qt reference documentation is available locally in Qt's doc/html | |
directory. You can use Qt Assistant to view it; to launch Assistant, | |
type 'assistant' on the command line or use the Start menu. On Mac OS | |
X, you can find it in /Developer/Applications/Qt. The latest | |
documentation is available at http://qt.nokia.com/doc/. | |

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