3 Qt is a comprehensive cross-platform C++ application framework. Qt 4
4 introduces new features and many improvements over the 3.x series. See
5 http://qt.nokia.com/doc/latest/qt4-intro.html for details.
7 The Qt 4.x series is not binary compatible or source compatible with
8 the 3.x series. For more information on porting from Qt 3 to Qt 4, see
9 http://qt.nokia.com/doc/latest/porting4.html.
14 On Windows and Mac OS X, if you want to install the precompiled binary
15 packages, simply launch the package and follow the instructions in the
18 On Mac OS X, the binary package requires Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) or
19 later and GCC 4.0.1 to develop applications. Its applications will run
20 on Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above.
22 If you have a source package (a .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, or .zip file),
23 follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.
28 Once Qt is installed, we suggest that you take a look at the demos and
29 examples to see Qt in action. Run the Qt Examples and Demos either by
30 typing 'qtdemo' on the command line or through the desktop's Start
31 menu. On Mac OS X, you can find it in /Developers/Applications/Qt.
34 REFERENCE DOCUMENTATION
36 The Qt reference documentation is available locally in Qt's doc/html
37 directory. You can use Qt Assistant to view it; to launch Assistant,
38 type 'assistant' on the command line or use the Start menu. On Mac OS
39 X, you can find it in /Developer/Applications/Qt. The latest

64 If you think you have found a bug in Qt, we would like to hear about
65 it so that we can fix it. Before reporting a bug, please check
66 http://qt.nokia.com/developer/faqs/ and
67 http://qt.nokia.com/products/appdev/platform/platforms/ to see if
68 the issue is already known.
70 Always include the following information in your bug report: the name
71 and version number of your compiler; the name and version number of
72 your operating system; the version of Qt you are using, and what
73 configure options it was compiled with.
75 If the problem you are reporting is only visible at run-time, try to
76 create a small test program that shows the problem when run. Often,
77 such a program can be created with some minor changes to one of the
78 many example programs in Qt's examples directory. Please submit the
79 bug report using the Task Tracker on the Qt website:
