It is basically impossible to provide a single binary build that works even on all "reasonably modern" distros (however that might be defined). We have seen that over and over again, and that's why it was decided a longer time ago to use Ubuntu as a reference platform. (Even providing a binary package that works through multiple Ubuntu versions has its trickiness as we've seen in the past.) Btw, creating a distributable Qt Creator 7zip should be as easy as qmake -r CONFIG+=release QTC_PREFIX=/qt-creator-2.8.0 && make && make -j1 docs install install_docs deployqt bindist if you feel like creating binaries for some specific Linux distribution (and version of that distribution). ('deployqt' optionally if you are not using a system installed Qt from the distribution or want Qt bundled in any case) Br, Eike >>> Does Qt Creator need to be built with g++ >>> 4.6 or above for say newer C++ features? >> >> No. You should have no problems building Qt Creator yourself. >> >> Br, Eike >> >> -- >> Eike Ziller, Senior Software Engineer - Digia, Qt >> >> Digia Germany GmbH, Rudower Chaussee 13, D-12489 Berlin >> Geschäftsführer: Mika Pälsi, Juha Varelius, Anja Wasenius >> Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin, Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, >> HRB 144331 B >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Qt-creator mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator > > -- > Regards, > Konstantin -- Eike Ziller, Senior Software Engineer - Digia, Qt Digia Germany GmbH, Rudower Chaussee 13, D-12489 Berlin Geschäftsführer: Mika Pälsi, Juha Varelius, Anja Wasenius Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin, Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 144331 B _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
