Qt can be used for application development for a wide range of target platforms, like:
- Desktop: Linux, macOS, Windows
- Embedded and RTOS: Linux, QNX, VxWorks, Windows
- Mobile: Android, iOS, Windows
For in depth information and more exotic platforms see the official documentation: Supported Platforms. See also Supported Devices.
Even if not listed there, with some extra work you may also be able to target platforms like:
- Various BSDs
- Haiku
- Windows versions older than Windows XP
Depending on your target you'll need a suitable host platform. For specific information see the lists of supported platforms mentioned above. For a quick overview see the following table:
| Target | Host |
|---|---|
| Desktop | |
| Desktop Linux | Desktop Linux |
| macOS | macOS |
| Windows 7 or higher | Windows 7 or higher |
| Embedded, RTOS | |
| Embedded Linux | Desktop Linux |
| QNX | Desktop Linux Windows 7 or higher |
| VxWorks | Desktop Linux Windows 7 or higher |
| Windows Embedded 7 | Windows 7 or higher |
| Mobile | |
| Android | Desktop Linux macOS Windows 7 or higher |
| iOS | macOS |
| Windows Phone | Windows 8 or higher |
| Windows RT | Windows 8 or higher |
If your host platform is Desktop Linux but your favorite Linux distribution is not listed in the official documentation then don't worry: "Officially supported" only means that there is documentation for it, Qt is tested on that particular platform and you can get support for it from The Qt Company. Almost all modern Desktop Linux distributions are suitable host and target platforms.
