Qt app for windows XP
-
As @KroMignon says, Qt 5.6 is the last officially supported version.
I still have to support a few customers using Windows XP and I use Qt 5.7.1, it also works fine but any version newer than that has problems. -

Hi
Does 5.7 work out of the box _
I think to recall you did some voodoo on a dll to make it work or that was something else i recall ? -
Thank you all for your inputs.
i will try with Qt 5.6

Why do you need Windows XP?
Customer has a CNC machine with embedded XP..

OK, valid use case :-)
https://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-5.6/supported-platforms.html - Windows XP is supported as "Deployment only" (means your app will work, but you can't develop on Windows XP machine). -

good thank you.
May i ask from where can i download qt5.6, the oldest version i see with my MaintenanceTool is qt5.9.0
edit : i see it here https://github.com/qt/qt5/tree/5.6
but if i download from here do i have to compile it myself ? -
@mrjj Yes 5.7.1 works out of the box for MinGW, if you're instead using MSVC compiler you'll need this line in your .pro file:
QMAKE_LFLAGS_WINDOWS = /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS,5.01Voodo on a .dll? Yeah I remember it, it was for an unfortunate soul who had to support Windows XP Service Pack 2 (not Service Pack 3 like everyone else has) and that required surgery of some dll's IAT.

and good with the MSVC hint. very important info.
