| 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: |
| http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.7/install-symbian-installer.html |
| |
| |
| 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/. |
