Supported Configurations

See also: Enterprise Qt Debian Packages .

Note: For Linux on Arm on desktops, we use Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB RAM and Ubuntu 24.04 as a reference platform. If you have an issue with another hardware, please try to reproduce the issue on Raspberry Pi 5. We plan to move to regular platform support when a wider range of ARM-based desktop hardware becomes available.

Requirements for Development Host

The Qt installers for Linux assume that a C++ compiler, debugger, make, and other development tools are provided by the host operating system. In addition, building graphical Qt applications requires Qt for X11 Requirements , and OpenGL libraries and headers installed. Most Linux distributions do not install all of these by default, but setting up a development environment is still straightforward.

Use the following commands to install the basic requirements for building Qt applications:

Debian/Ubuntu (apt-get)

sudo apt-get install build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev

Fedora/RHEL/CentOS (yum)

sudo yum groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"
sudo yum install mesa-libGL-devel

openSUSE (zypper)

sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_basis

Building Qt from Source

You can also build Qt from the source package and configure it according to your target platform. The source packages are obtained from http://www.qt.io/download/ .
