    The question is quite simple, but I'm not able to find a clear answer.
    Does Qt 5 support CE 6.0 officially?

    I found some documents and posts

    • Compile Qt 5.6 for Windows Ce 6.0 linking issue

    • Qt for Windows CE

    • The State of WinCE Support in Qt5

    but I don't understand if they're either tests or working solutions.

    It seems that Qt 5.6 is the last version where C++11 is not mandatory and so VS2008 (which target CE 6.0) should be supported. But I can be wrong (I'm not an expert).

    Could someone clarify this, please?

      Hi,

      The easiest to ensure that would be to contact the platform maintainer(s).

        @-vix- said in Does Qt 5 support CE 6.0?:

        Does Qt 5 support CE 6.0 officially?

        Not officially.

        KDAB, a partner of the Qt Company, has been providing support for Windows CE: https://www.kdab.com/expertise/qt/windows-embedded-ce/ They have also contributed patches to ensure that Qt runs on Windows CE, but the Qt Project does not actively build for or test on actual Windows CE devices.

        It seems that Qt 5.6 is the last version where C++11 is not mandatory

        That's right. Qt 5.7+ cannot support platforms without a C++11 compiler.

        and so VS2008 (which target CE 6.0) should be supported. But I can be wrong (I'm not an expert).

        Could someone clarify this, please?

        The best people to ask is KDAB.
