Note

In order to use Qt libraries you must have your own Qt development and distribution licenses. Please refer to https://www.qt.io/qt-licensing for more information.

Supported Qt version

In order to test D7 SDK applications that use Qt libraries on the host, a separate installation of Qt libraries is necessary.

To ensure compatibility, you will need to install the same version of Qt libraries as the version that is packaged with the D7 SDK.

Currently, that is version 6.8.3.

Installing Qt

1. Download and run the Qt Online Installer from https://account.qt.io/s/downloads.

2. Choose "Custom Installation" to be able to select a specific version of Qt.

   Also, make note of the installation directory, as it will be necessary for testing on the host in Building a QML application using the D7 SDK. This guide will assume Qt has been installed to the default installation directory: $HOME/Qt.

3. Expand the "Qt" dropdown and select "6.8.3".
4. Expand the "Qt Creator" dropdown and select "Qt Creator 16.0.2"

After that, click "Next" and install the libraries.

Please, see also Qt's official installation guide.
