[Interest] New Development Environment

2015-02-07 Thread Karl Ruetz
Our company is about to start the process of altering our Qt development 
environment.
I’ve noticed that it seems most of the Trolls (if I can still use that term) 
are using Ubuntu.
I’d like to save a little of trial and error and find out what version of 
Ubuntu 64-bit would be best to use if we plan to setup Qt and QtCreator from 
the latest Enterprise versions available.  Any inputs would be welcome.

Hi Karl,

Don't choose your Linux version from this. Qt works well on all the 
newer Linux versions. Ubuntu is fine, but openSUSE, RedHat, Mint or any 
of the others are just as good.

If you choose one of the major versions, Qt won't give you any problems. 
And it probably won't on more esoteric versions.

I would choose this based more on the toolchain available on the 
platform. Up to date gcc and gdb, for example. For example, in Ubuntu I 
just got hit by a really bad gdb bug that made gdb unusable for large 
projects.

If you are going to compile your own Qt then maybe the Ubuntu version 
currently used in the CI might be a good one.

Else it simply depends on which features of Qt you need and maybe choose the 
latest LTS release or a newer version if you need a newer Qt.
