# Supported Platforms

The platforms supported by Trolltech for Qt. Qt is supported on a variety of 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and can usually be built on each platform with GCC, a vendor-supplied compiler, or a third party compiler. Although Qt may be built on a range of platform-compiler combinations, only a subset of these are actively supported by Trolltech:

## Actively Supported Platforms

Platform | Compilers
--- | ---
Apple Mac OS X (32-bit) | gcc 4.0.1
Linux (32 and 64-bit) | gcc 4.1, 4.2
Microsoft Windows | gcc 4.3 (MinGW) (32-bit), MSVC 2003, 2005 (32 and 64-bit), Intel icc

Other platform-compiler combinations are either community supported or unsupported. See the Makespec Support section further down for a complete list of platform-compiler combinations that ship with Qt and their support levels.

Trolltech's online Platform Support Policy describes the level of support you should expect for these platforms.
