h1. Known Issues - Qt 5.4.0

All platforms

  • Installation over the existing installation not supported
    • QTIFW-278: SDK 5.1.0 rc1 : installation over existing installation fails
  • Examples in Qt Creator Welcome mode is empty
    • Workaround: Start Qt Creator with clean settings (e.g. for temporary testing: '-settingspath /some/temp/dir'
  • Qt Creator shows %{Qt:Version} in kit name / Qt version name
    • You still use Qt Creator 3.2.2 (because you are using the online installer). Qt Creator 3.3 (that knows the placeholder) will be released together with Qt 5.4.0.


h2. Linux
* QTBUG-39897: Packaged libQtWebKit fails to load: conflict between (system) libxml2 and shipped libicu
' This can show up e.g. in crashes when trying to open Qt Creator's Help, Widget Designer, or Qt Assistant.
* QTBUG-43205: The build on Linux is broken if you don't have dbus header files installed or Qt cannot find them (it needs pkg-config).
h2. Windows
* if you want to install a Qt for Visual Studio be sure you have the related Visual Studio installed
* Qt Creator does not support Windows XP.
' Workaround: Disable 'Welcome', 'QmlProfiler', QmlDesigner' plugins
* Qt Creator does require a working DirectX/DirectDraw backend
' Enable Accelerated 3D support if you run Windows in e.g. VirtualBox, VMWare
* QTBUG-32864: WMF plugin fails to load on Windows Vista (no service found for "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer")

    • Workaround: If you target Windows Vista, rebuild the plugin (qtmultimedia/src/plugins/wmf) using the Windows Vista SDK.
  • The Just-in-time compiler is disabled in QtQml - this will be fixed in Qt 5.4.1.

WinRT / Windows Phone

  • Please install Visual Studio 2013 Express Update 3 (or 4) for Windows (Professional/Ultimate versions are also supported, as long as the Windows Store App components are installed)
  • Note that not all mobile related modules are supported (e.g. bluetooth, etc)
  • QTBUG-41753: When deploying to Windows Phone in release mode, VS fails to find the Qt plugins. Two workarounds (one permanent and one per-project) are detailed on the bug report.

Mac OS X

  • Qt binary packages: qmake may stop with an error claiming the macosx10.8 SDK can't be found.
    • Workaround: Edit clang_64/mkspecs/qdevice.pri, comment out the QMAKE_MAC_SDK line.
  • QTBUG-31724: can’t debug into qt libs on Mac (it hasn’t worked since 5.0.0)
    • Workaround: Compile Qt on your own (configure -developer-build provides both release and debug libs)
  • QTBUG-35211: Apps using Qt WebKit 2.0 are not deployable on Mac OS X (QtWebProcess fails to deploy/start)
  • QTBUG-35317: Qt Quick1 apps that use Qt WebKit 1.0 fail to deploy on Mac OS X
  • QTBUG-35506: Qt Quick Controls applications launched using qmlscene might not display the menubar until they lose and regain focus

Android

iOS

BlackBerry 10

See " Qt5 Status on BlackBerry 10"

QNX

See " Qt Status on QNX "

QtWebEngine

  • QTBUG-41611: macdeployqt on OSX must be run with a non-empty -executable= command line switch to force loader_path install names in the bundle instead of executable_path.
  • Building on OSX currently requires at least XCode version 5.1. This will remain a requirement for Qt WebEngine. Changing it would require significant changes to the Chromium code base that are going against the direction Chromium is being developed.
  • Building on Windows currently requires Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2013 Express Edition This will most likely remain a requirement for Qt WebEngine. Changing it would require significant changes to the Chromium code base that are going against the direction Chromium is being developed.
  • On Windows, you need to add the gnuwin32/bin directory from your Qt checkout to your PATH when doing shadow builds.
