Window System-specific Notes

Qt is a multiplatform GUI toolkit, so almost the entire API is the same on all platforms and window systems. If you wish to use platform-specific features, and still maintain a platform-independent source tree, you should protect the platform-specific code using the appropriate #ifdef statements (see below).

For information about which platforms are supported by Qt, see the Platform Notes. For information on distributing Qt applications, see Deploying Qt Applications.
