Minimum required gcc/glib to build/run QT5.2.0

I have searched for a while now without finding a proper answer.

What is the minimum required GLIBC in order to build QT 5.2.0? (for embedded linux if it matters)

G++ 4.2 is the minimal version. In general, any compiler running C++98 should work.

Thanks but do you have any reference for that? or could you elaborate on your reasoning?

No, I just remember the talk on Qt dev mailing list back when the scope for Qt 5.0 was being discussed.

There is not much that I can elaborate on here: it was decided that all Qt 5 code should compile without errors using any C++98 compiler (or newer). That of course does not mean that all compilers are being actually tested.

Thanks for the reply.
A follow up question, is there the exact same requirements for QT 4.8?

Pretty much the same, yes.
