The last Qt version that supported Windows xp?

[lylyyhb]

I need to use Qt in windows xp,which version I should choose????

[Chris Kawa]

The latest available for that OS, which is the LTS release (5.6.2 at this time).

Qt 5.7 (mingw 5.3 build) works on WinXP SP3 (but mingw version lacks QtWebEngine module).
Also, I've tested Qt Creator 4.2.0 (built using Qt 5.7.0 / MS Visual C++ 2013) on XP SP3 - it works, but if you going to use MSVC, you should read more about XP support in MSVC versions.

Also Qt 5.7 (MSVC 2013 32-bit build) works on WInXP SP3 if you include
QMAKE_LFLAGS_WINDOWS = /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS,5.01
in your app's .pro file.

I realize this topic is ancient, but...what if you want to build for XP, but not on XP?

Thanks...

Hi
Still the same. Qt5.7 should work. 5.6 is the last to support Xp
officially.
Newer versions need binary patching to run as far as i know and
might not be stable.

Can I ask what you need it for ?

For people who run XP?

Hi
hehe yeah that kinda gives itself but
Its a stone dead OS and if you let it near the internet you are asking to get owned.
So I do wonder what use case where it would have a function in this world still. Maybe like a non-netted legacy system.
If you are a company within EU you would be insane to host any real user data on it as the fines for GPDR are huge and XP is not compliant at all.

so i just wondered.

@mrjj I don't really need it. My company has a few systems on XP, and it would have been mildly useful to put one of my apps on them. But it's certainly not worth digging up a copy of 5.7, and then having to re-write whatever I took advantage of in 5.15.

Good information on the security weakness, though...thanks.

I assumed that with an interest in XP @mzimmers was targeting the home/gaming market.... :)
